Yeah ngl externalizing anxiety is really gonna affect those around you including yourself, you're not the only one to be pitied and all when saying those "Oh I can't interact anymore hhh I'm so dumb" stuff, it really makes people uneasy, I only realized this recently too, it's not always about you, it's about the people around you too

[@swepsdakittie7792]

@@kitsickles I kinda disagree with what you have to say. Like yeah that makes people uneasy,but he was talking to the girl. She directly asked hom what he felt was wrong and he decided to share how he felt about him self during social interaction. When the question what is wrong is directed towards you then they aren't trying to know about someone else it is about you at that moment. She said she was going through the same thing. Like no offense you could have anxiety too,but it just doesn't work like that. Personally I have anxiety and if someone told me oh "you are doing this to yourself" .I'd be like how could you ask me what's wrong then judge me which is why in the first place I was scared to answer you when you asked if I was ok. Instead I think it would be better to say" I'll help you then slowly let you go on your own,so you won't be stuck". Also saying "It isn't always about you seems unhelpful just in my opinion". Like dude I mean that is why some people are scared to seek help. Also I'm pretty sure they know they aren't the only one,but that doesn't make them inconsiderate. People need to get help to understand themselves and how they may actaully be impacting others. I mean honestly it seems just like he doesn't want to make others uncomfortable so he just distances himself so the problem just goes away. He didn't purposely go out of his way to actaully make people uncomfortable more like he went out of his way to make sure he couldn't be around others so they wouldn't be uncomfortable.

[@kitsickles]

@@swepsdakittie7792 oh yeah true ofc! there are people that will help and be there to listen, but sometimes people with these problems will rely on the wrong crowd. like sometimes I'd see classmates or friends who vent to people that aren't ready or aren't capable of helping someone with these problems. I also have the same deal and all, but I know that some people aren't comfy or aren't in the right head space to help sometimes, people should also be aware about who they're venting to. the girl in the film had no problem with helping or with talking to him about stuff, she was willing to talk about it with him, and THAT is the time when you could vent and all, if someone will openly allow and be there for you

[@whitemagegoose]

I remember one such "red girl". I was in high school, and in the middle of class one day, reading a book by myself. This was the one class that I knew maybe one person in the whole room, and he sat on the other side of it. All of the sudden, this random girl walked up to me and asked me what I was reading. She honestly seemed interested, but me being the anti-social and awkward guy that I can often be, answered her questions as simply and shortly as possible, so that I could get back to reading my book. Eventually, she walked away. I never talked to her again, and I regret it to this day. For me, that was the ultimate "what could have been".

I think it's to do with how social anxiety causes you to feel like everyone else is getting something that you just can't quite figure out, he's disconnected from people because he can't see the struggles and insecurities that they hide and as a result it feels as though he's living his own isolated reality.

[@dio2076]

I interpreted it as his feeling of loss of control, and that no matter his intentions and efforts, he ends up making a fool of himself (or upsetting/annoying other people). Even while trying to hide his anxiety so that it doesn't become anyone else's problem, it kinda takes on a life of it's own. Ultimately it seems to be a sense of lacking control over the whole "you're gonna mess this up!" idea, and how it takes on a life of it's own? I dunno. It somehow works.

[@mayorgeneralramirez1997]

@@dreamingblue3939 Listen to me. It's ok to be as confused as you are about human relationships. It's complicated, psychologists have a subject that's called "Human Relationships" in college where they essentially learn to read people and how to talk to them. I mean it takes practice and time to forge a relationship with another person, and if you want to advance, if you want to move on and leave this behind you're going to have to put the courage and the effort to try to understand and be around people. There are plenty of articles on how to start talking with people, the fundamentals of what a friend is and what it's for, the types of friends, the red flags and risks and there are also tons articles on overcoming social anxiety. Why? Because a ton of people go through that in their lives, a ton of people feel like they are quirky and embarrassing when it's really a paranoia they themselves made up. It's not something you can't get through, I see it more as an initiation test, or something that will make you grow as an individual. (Also, ask for help if you need it to a counsellor or a person whose advice will help. You wouldn't believe how easy it is to get what you want when you are direct and clear. ) All in all, it is your choice and only yours. Good luck, and I believe in you.

No. It's not even wanting to go outside, it's not wanting to speak. At all. It's not having any close or distant friends because you are too scared to make them or even start a conversation at that matter. Social anxiety is not being shy, it's having *anxiety* to everything *social*. I'm not hating on anyone, I just wanted to get my point out there :/

That’s so cute,, you learned an important lesson

[@DrdrGames]

I'm not socially awkward but I relate to a lot of this. I barely speak unless spoken to, which means I barely speak at all because I never engage with someone unless they engage with me. I literally feel invisible in a crowd of "acquaintances", possibly because I must telegraph somehow that I won't be interesting to talk to. I don't know how I'm supposed to start talking to someone I don't know very well without coming off as either pushy or out of no where.

[@reddiz2182]

Same.

[@noellebell8364]

Red Diz 2 This is where we extroverts come in to try help! People like me love to talk to people because we're super afraid of being alone, because we like people. You should find someone who likes starting conversations with you, and I'm sure you'll naturally start to talk with them about things. I guess everyone is different, but if you at least have one person, the world isn't so bad anymore.

[@dvklaveren]

Same. Not socially awkward. I like listening. Sometimes, though, people insist that I'm being quiet. And I want to tell them, 'yeah, so what?' but that's rude, so, I'll try and force myself to have a conversation with someone who's not demonstrated worry, but boredom. Well, sometimes, someone will look at me with anxious worry, like, "you're so quiet, is something wrong?". Which is similarly frustrating. It's okay to be a quiet individual. It's okay to be talkative. Just don't force it, one way or the other. Don't force yourself to be talkative and don't force someone else to be talkative. I have an acquaintance attached to my friends who, sadly, can't respect my boundaries. My group of friends is pretty extroverted already, but he tries to force it in a way that I don't like. He's just very intense about starting a conversation with me. Just overly familiar and trying too hard to be funny with body language. Not in the awkward, 'I don't know how this body language thing works' kind, but the 'this is how I behave around all my friends and you're my friend, right?!!' kind. Hanging on to your shoulder, giving you 'that looks' with a roll of the neck. That's just the opposite direction.

Why does this feel like an adult Charlie Brown? EDIT: Please contact a network like [adult swim] and turn this into a actual show, this feels and looks distinguished and I'd love to see this turned into a mini series focusing on these characters and maybe different ones if season 2 were to happen! Just my thoughts, thank you! You made a incredible short!

[@Iam1moodyDoctor]

Being that friend known as a "floater" is often loney, you always try to engage with people but something is always holding you back. I've been a "floater" my whole entire life never noticed and everybody always ignores me, or wants me to always shut up. In a way it's quite enjoyable it's honestly peaceful.

2 years of pandemic quarantine has lost my charm. The start of grade 11 which is also face to face was a month ago and last week I made good progress of recovering thanks to my best friend pointing my introvert side out. I think of myself as a half ghost. Extroverting is a good choice, start small and slowly if you feel like it and keep it up
