I don't mirror, per se, but I sort of simplify my thoughts when I speak so they are not so abstract and wild. A lot of the time the sort of translation between the crazy web of thoughts, insights, emotions, memories, the absurd humour that emerges from these, and the way I verbally express them ends up muddled, but it might be better than being completely misunderstood when trying to say things in as literal a way as I see them as I can. The difference between these approaches in terms of how people percieve me is that when I've tried to verbalize my thoughts literally, some people percieved me as crazy/insane, and when I try to simplify it into normal words, some people percieve me as dumb. For the most part, it doesn't bother me much because I know that I'm not insane (maybe a little eccentric) and not dumb (I often end up suprising people later when they get to know me better and I can talk about more serious things in a more fluid and intelligent way).
