I can't really talk to anybody IRL and it's not enjoyable for me. I'm nd and I find it really hard to talk to people, if I want to or have to I rehearse the conversation in my head multiple times while shaking and most likely not actually doing it. My dad said I'm socially awkward and I "only know how to talk to people on the computer" and that makes me feel horrible. How can I stop this?

That’s ur issue, You’re awkward because you’re afraid. Fix your test levels and expose yourself more socially

By getting off your computer, begin by having small talk with strangers, then get off your ass and do something irl and meet people doing it

I do martial arts aswell and I socialize with all ages, stop making excuses and start acting as if you care about their lives, that’ll make a good conversation
 
okay and what do i do to stop
Stop living in a bubble, if you think that you’ll just be a loser forever you won’t ever try to do anything, so stop thinking like that and try to overcome your struggles

People really forget how gifted trump, and the other guys are. They talk so easily, with rhetoric. They dont even need to be good looking! they intimidate people with their words. To them words=power, alot of us dont have that power

Tbh I kind of fixed this problem myself, I used to have performance anxiety. I used to play the piano and I would essentially be scared of performing infront of PEOPLE. What came alongside with that was being scared to TALK to people. What I did was I gently just came out of my comfort zone, I know it sounds hard, its not. In public I used to ask people "whats the time?" I used to compliment people, HECK! I even talked to my classmates. Its not like the movies where they will hate on you for even talking, no its not like that. They arent going to harm you.

Kickboxing, have done others tho, how can there possibly only be unc and foids, are there no similar aged dudes?

I'll try talk to people in school, but it's so hard for me jfl, especially if I dont have many classes with the people, like i said in the original post i literally shake and plan everything before i talk to someone.

in my opinion tbh, i feel like planning everything before you talk makes it worse. Im probably less inhib then you thats why it comes easy to me but you just have to talk and forget. I bet its probably your looks too. You probably think you are so ugly to even talk to other people is it?

That's cool, the thing about my mma is, it's not literally mma. It's more of an mma club with self defense and filipino martial arts mixed in with it 😭 we still do all striking and grappling, but also learn self defence techniques and stick works. In that class its just uncs and some foids and random kids, there are even 2 gay kids, WTF! I have went for about 9 months now. In my bjj, its literally just older dudes but there is one guy my age that I partner up with for drills, and Taekwondo I did it for about 6 years now, but I wasnt consistent, so more like 3 years actual doing, theres more people around my age but its so awkard, EXTREMELY, I feel so uncomfortable whenever I go and I feel i dont fit in

I dont think i look horrible but i could be better, ik normies dont care as much abt everything, they wont fully analyse ur face lol, I have nice hair imo and i dont look that bad. Anyways, I had alot of bad experiences talking with people in my school, "friends" would always drift away from me and people would never show interest to talk to me, and would always find excuses when I would try arrange some sort of local meetup, so I just keep to myself now

you dont seem that introverted then, its just their problem tbh. You are probably best just being lonely then.
