Being a self aware ND is brutal

[Changmentum]

I sometimes wish I was a level 2 type of aspie that wasn’t very self-aware and had no shame in not following social conventions. Sadly, my high sentience and awareness make me more inhibited to initiate conversations. Even if I was more autistic, I would at least have people to hangout with. Sadly, I’m naturally introverted too on top of being ND, which makes my situation worse. It’s all even worse knowing that if I was simply NT, I would have no trouble with girls because of my face card, but because of said disability, im on this forum

Honestly that sounds like a high IQ problem not neurodivergence. You can probably learn social skills. For this problem there's a drug called dextromethorphan that works really well. Start with 60mg daily and titrate up to 105mg daily based on your response. It's also a prescription drug called Auvelity. Maybe you could consider it, I think for a situation like yours this would help a lot.

If you got the looks, you coulda have just learned to initiate conversations easily though. Most people unconsciously judge you yes but they dont give a fuck later on, so why ldar when you can possibly have meaningful converstions

I don't know what to talk. I can talk if others start the conversation or carry on.

Same, i think sometimes its not our fault cause they ask questions that i have no way to even carry on. But phenibut should calm ur nerves and make u low inhib
