Making dumb decisions is part of growing up, being afraid to talk because you're either going to mess up/forget half your vocabulary at any given moment or accidentally interrupt someone multiple times isn't.

Would you say your problem is rooted more in how people will perceive you as a result of these gaucheries, or is it something else entirely? Because I would certainly hope that it's a part of growing up, because I'm in the same boat as you, but my problem is mostly about the former. If I do something stupid, I start convincing myself that everyone hates me now, and is going to start treating me differently based on those little social fuck-ups.

In reality, no one cares, because everyone makes social fuck-ups, and there's not enough time to be concerned about other people's awkwardness. I find that thought a little comforting, personally, and I feel like when I fully grasp that concept--the idea that everyone else is living out their own complex lives, too--I think that's a sign of maturation, or growing up. Because it makes your problems seem smaller and that much less significant.

I can't speak for you, of course, but I mean... I don't know, I just hope you find some way to make it better.

I have actually always struggled with this concept, and my understanding of life is only perforated by brief moments when I can comprehend that others are cogniscently similar to me.

For the most part I consider the minds of others to operate differently, almost as though they were npcs and I'm the player.

Of course the natural response is to blame video games, but I have been dealing with these ideas since I was maybe four or five, before I ever started playing games, and I think it's odd that it makes such a fitting comparison.

I tend to focus on people's negatives and push them away. I get bored with people. Even when I like them.

I'm typically fairly quiet, unless I've gotten to know someone, but I'm usually good at making people laugh and get along so it balances out.

im very emotionally detached

I'm closed off, quiet and thanks to things that happened to me when I had friends, I almost cannot stay in contact with people anymore. As in, calling or going to do things.

I don't feel embarrassment.

It's perfect for me, but sometimes I'm wondering if situations are awkward for other people. Aside from that there's nothing, because I'm not cancer like you lot. Each and every one of you faggots don't even lift, nor do you have any girlfriends. I lift twice as much as recommended, and I have two girlfriends.

I'm retarded

Most people are tho.

I know a guy that has the biggest social anxiety but somehow everytime he talks women are laughing in the "I want his dick" way. I don't understand people, and neither do you. Just throw yourself into the social world and things'll be 👌

Anxiety, it's not so bad nowadays but it's still enough of a problem that it throws a wrench in my plans from time to time.

Severe misanthropy.

Not a flaw.

It is if you value social ability.
