I assume yeah, but as i cant see myself from the outside perspective so it's just a guess.

I do know i avoid eye contact and generally wear pretty much the same clothes for years. Of course i wash those, i just have multiple pairs of the exact same clothes. So that might stand out on repeated occasions.

There's a constant fidgeting as well which might stand out.

On a positive note, over the years I've managed to implement a solid training and dieting routine so by now i stand out that way as well.
