Literally the type of line I’d use as a litmus test to see if people were cool.

What did anon do wrong? It's a blithe, silly answer and bothers nobody. Anon can totally go back.

Anon is locked into self directed attention showing him his shame when considering that there is a whimsical part of himself known as the chocolate man inside himself. Why this makes him ashamed is not specified. I speculate that there is a belief that if other people knew he would be the subject of ridicule.

You’re not wrong, but it comes down to delivery. I’ve said a lot of bizarre, goofy lines in my time, in various stages of social aptitude. The same line comes across very differently based on whether it’s said confidently with a self-assured smile, or muttered while looking at your shoes.

This is my problem, I am impulsive and silly enough to still say things, but the way they come out sometimes makes me want to die a little inside and stop being perceived forever.
Sometimes if I am not doing too badly I still can turn it around, where the very failure of delivery can on its own get the laughs (or groans). If I sort of stay with it long enough to express something like “yeah, that was bad wasn’t it? want more?”. But it does require a minimum of social aptitude like you said, which for me varies a lot.

Since I have ADHD and Dyspraxia (motor disorder) I fuck up the delivery of things I want to say 9 times out of 10. I stopped giving a damn long ago because it really doesn’t matter unless you’re trying to get a job or something else that requires being fake as fuck to get ahead, but I would be lying if I said it doesn’t keep me up at night…
