Giving up socializing

Post Reply New Topic

Do you ever just want to give up even trying to socialize? I feel like I should all the time because I screw up a lot and then get really depressed about it. Like today. Twice today I said some stupid things and the person I was talking to was just like "okay......" which I took to mean okay you stupid weirdo. I'm just angry at myself and at them a little bit too, I guess for making me feel like this. I just feel like I think differently than most people, or something, but this person I was talking to is pretty much almost like me, so to be made to feel bad by them is just so much worse because I still can't get it right, even with them. Every once in a while I feel like I have to stop talking to people just to get my sanity back or something. I get tired of trying to say the right things and "act right."

Currently, despite my failings, I feel alright. I wanted to retreat but not anymore, not currently.

I've been attempting to talk a lot now, to be more social, asks questions and what have you. It's not like me, so I'm seeing how it turns out. The women seem impressed.

Well, that's good. I hope it works out for you.

No need to give it up. Socializing can be easy if you have the right mindset about it. Keep in mind that all it is is a way to convey information about what's going on in the present. Before instant mass media outlets, it was the only way people got their information. Just keep a healthy curiousity about the happenings around you prompting you to ask a lot of questions and you'll be fine.

We will see.

I got nothing to state that can help you as I know not how your mind works. I just get sudden urges and remissions which causes me to retreat or socialize.

This year brought about a deep longing for isolation, but I can't. Not with having to go to school and what have you. I've wasted too many chances. Avolition sucks.
