"I thought I was doing good with it, until I got here. It wasn't really an issue with..."
Living on his own. Working with other abnormal people with similar needs as his. He had a place to belong, back in his world. The Accords took all of that away so now Steve lives here. Safest place to be, an entire half a dimension away from home. But the people here don't look at him and see Steve Rogers. They wonder what happened to the scrawny guy they used to call their friend.
Steve hasn't had to deal with that before in the years since he woke up.
"I see people who knew me when they could pick me up one handed." Steve stops talking then and takes a couple minutes to eat the sandwich he's made. Doing his best to be quick, efficient. Not to keep Jim waiting or staring at him. It's easier around the captain. He's only known Steve since he's come back. Jim isn't looking at him and wondering what happened to the man he used to know. "The way they look at me sometimes I dunno how to describe it. The eating thing was just one more thing that made it clear I was Different now. Easiest thing to fake."
