I'm a person of colour living in the UK and for the first time I'm feeling the weight of being different. I was born here and I'm mixed. I feel that I'm quite socialised but people don't respond to me in the way they would with white people.

For example if I get excited or animated it's seen aggression. If I'm honest with someone they take it way harder than if it came from a white person.

I understand that this is my own perspective but it gets exhausting. How do you guys navigate social dynamics and do you have any ideas on how to integrate myself more.
