Social Retardation

[voluntarycel]

So i am socially retarded and struggle talking to people sober and i always avoid talking to new people out of anxiety and lack of social skills. and i had this really obvious yet enlightening thought come to me… if i want to become more social and confident then avoiding social situations is literally the most retard thing i could do. the only way to become socially competent is through exposure and repetition, so why wouldnt i force myself to talk to as many people as possible instead of hiding from interactions out of fear of embarrassment or awkwardness? in the past i always avoided unnecessary social interaction despite wanting those social connections, but avoiding the very thing i want to improve at just keeps me stuck in the same cycle.
my whole point is the desire to become a social beast outweighs the fear of social embarrassment

idk just a thought that im implementing in my life. water idgaf
