I don't know what you're trying to do

Lately, for the past few days while playing Zeta, I feel like I've been saying "What are you trying to do??" a lot. Is it just me? I have a plot where I'm playing with a non-human character setting that's difficult to get used to, and I tried to do things that would evoke relief or interest without causing fear, but the character's actions only seem to have the opposite effect. Also, for some reason, they keep making a sort of "heh heh" chuckle, but there's no real element that would warrant such a laugh, and it happens so often that I'm really confused.
