Monkey’s paw version: you’re a shapeshifter like Odo in DS9. You have to consciously model every aspect of your form. Imagine the most detailed image of a human you can in your mind. That’s the fidelity with which your form will be represented. You can only take on a form that is as detailed as your understanding and perception of an object is. Your form is more of a human-shaped animate object than an actual human being.
I think so, but I really vibe with that description. I don’t think humanity’s bad, I just rub people the wrong way much of the time in ways I can’t really perceive, so it feels like I don’t really “get it.” I do try though, and it seems like it often takes up all of my energy to pay attention to all of my body language and facial expressions so I don’t come off as rude.

Plot twist: I already feel like that
Are you ok?
