There's no Autism tag so I'll take this, though there's nothing cool about me. Better than Resting bitch face anyway.

What is kuuderu

What is kuuderu

someone who puts up a mask of being cold and detached, sometimes outright emotionless, but is actually sweet

the kinda person who, if their crush asked them out, would say "oh. yes. that'd be fine" but would internally be more like "OHH GOODD YESS THIS IS WHY I LIVE!!"

so basically me but without the masking my pain and true psychopathic self and being autistic?.

Yes. Unlike Yandere (who is usually suffering a medical psychotic break) and Tsundere (which is essentially a character flaw), Kuudere has healthy emotional processing, but does not express them visibly. While the other two are supposed to be temporary (healed or grown-out-of, respectively), Kuudere is usually not written as a problem to be overcome but as a filter that helps them find people who are willing to invest time into a relationship and to look beneath the surface.
