I was always that guy kinda on the outskirts of the party observing normies smiling, laughing, socializing, talking about normie stuff.
It wasn't high inhibition or anxiety that stopped me from participating, it was that I literally had no idea what to say, when to say it, how to pick up on social cues.
It always confused me how all these people were just in their natural state talking having a good time, NONE of them were overthinking anything, none of them were analyzing the situation, they were just saying and acting as to what came natural to them. Why couldn't I be like that?
I always felt like when entering a social situation like this that I was a different species than everyone else, my brain just wasn't wire the same way, eventually I just accepted it and became a recluse.
You either have social instinct or you don't, you are either extroverted or not, it's not something you can learn. Yes drugs can help, but even these normies I'm talking about are the way they are with or without alcohol/drugs.
NT maxxing, and even looksmaxxing to a point are futile, eventually you accept where you are on the life scale/10 and live accordingly, until the day it's all over. We get by on the cope that one day it'll all turn around for us, but it doesn't. Whatever quality of life you have as of right now is basically the quality you are going to have until the day you die. Stop coping that it's gunna get better someday.
