i don’t know how to act in conversations

[@ezsacowboy]

i feared embarrassing myself or saying something cringe to the point i isolated myself. now im dealing with the repercussions of having no social skills, no friends and no self esteem.

[@twdg17yt]

that’s the same exact situation i found myself in. it took a long time to even somewhat get more social. i believe you can work through it! don’t give up my friend

[@kyletwd]

Real i can never find the right things to say and i just make the conversation awkward

i did this a lot when i was 14 ish. one day it just hit me that the reason i dont know how to act is because im too busy judging myself in my head and carefully orchestrating every thing i say, that im not fully listening to what the person has to say. at that point, its probable you wont know what to say if you werent giving your full attention. i think this stems from masking cus im autistic, and the fact that i hyperfixate on things most other people dont.
