Being awkward sucks.

[chrisangeler]

Genuinely had trouble ordering food and asking for stuff at the store. Spent 20 minutes procrastinating and ended up asking while stuttering, it fucking sucks because I wasn't always like this

anyone can relate?

Yea agreed but exposure therapy genuinely helps. Honestly it even took me 10+ minutes to “get the right moment to ask to use the bathroom at school” and in other scenarios aswell, very miserable

I feel you man, I don't understand how some people can interact with others so easily

I’m not awkward I’m just drained.

Exposure therapy? You just reminded me about the "waiting for the right moment to ask to use the bathroom" sometimes I'd find myself just waiting till class was over to ask

well start small, have simple interactions w people online(Ome tv or Monkey) can be casual. Run those scenarios in your head and have answers. Observe behavior(interested or bored) of those you’re talking to. Think about if what you’ll say is gonna sound wierd to the other person. These are some methods that are part of my protocol to make social interactions easier. It’ll never be 100% but can definitely reduce the awkward situations

Daily life tbh, especially in social settings with people my age, normies make me feel alienated
