I don't know why, but the way I speak, my gestures, my posture spreads the image that I'm a pretentious douchebag, but I genuinely don't think I'm superior to anyone, neither I think I'm great or something.
If anything I might even think I'm above average as a person, even though that's not the image people get of me.
What may have helped to influence that posture was my father which actually is a pretentious douchebag haha
How do I get over that? How do I change my posture, my mannerisms, my gestures so I avoid looking like one?

OP here
I meant BELOW* average
fuck is that my unconscious speaking or am I just confused with comparison adjectives? haha

Experience great shame due to your mannerisms and you will be forced to change your ways.
What about the way you act makes you seem pretentious? Can you describe it?

I tried for some time to figure out, but I think it has to do with the way I look at people.
I consider myself to be a somewhat serious person and I think that that trait kinda makes me look serious
That's maybe the best I could find about myself.
Looking into the mirror made me realize my eyebrows are almost always dead and my eyelids are kinda closed, which makes me look like I don't care, when in fact I care a lot hahaha

So, that... I can't feel shame because I can't blame myself for it... ):

Well, in that case maybe try to smile more. I have a resting bitch face, too, so people automatically assume I want to murder them when I'm in fact feeling totally neutral. From my experience, you have to consciously control it and even then, it won't be enough sometimes. Honestly, it's better to just tell people. Let it be known that you aren't a serial murderer. Frame it as a joke. They will get used to you.

you have to see a problem in the first place for yourself to work on it.
Try filming yourself having an interaction with someone's help.
being able to step outside yourself and view your actions from oustide can be helpful
