    Nah, when it comes to social shit like that, you just have not give a fuck what people think about you anymore, because honestly, they probably fucking aren’t. You’d have to be pretty egotistical to think so, and if you were, you’d probably be one of those douche bags that bothers girls who don’t want to talk to them.

      Yeah, and that requires practice.

      You had me at first but lost me at the end. Social anxiety and low self confidence is the opposite of egotistic

      There is a difference between confidence/self love and egoism.

      Are these mutually exclusive?

  A well written resume, a firm handshake, and a willingness to knock on doors is the key to success.

  Have you tried being blackout drunk?

  That’s what did it for me

    Does profusely apologizing for puking on their dress count as conversation?

    If yes then I’ll have you know I’m quite the socializer.

      Well it’s a start isn’t it?

      Just do a little better next time and the next time and the next time.

    Me too, I woke up with 2 or 3 phone numbers in my pocket. I texted one of them and was greeted by an angry boyfriend, I either didn’t text the others or they didn’t reply, but it boosted my confidence a lot. So much so that I was able to talk to girls before I blacked out

  Not being able to treat people like people because they have different genitals, proving age is just a number.

  Who said that? Nothing comes passively except death.

    It’s pretty common to tell depressed or struggling people that things get better/easier, as if it happens passively and they just need to stick around, just hold out.

      That is true of the moment. Moments of pain and morning do pass just like moments of happiness. But an unhealthy lifestyle makes pain more likely.

  What no one says is you have to make a fool of yourself quite a few times before it gets easy. But it’s worth it.

    That only works if you manage to make it there without hating YOURSELF.

• VagueDirector@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

  Yeah I am coming to the same realisation. If anything it gets worse, since as an adult you are naturally going to be more isolated when you aren’t forced to socialize.

  Pretend you like, and are interested in the meaning of, her unnecessary wrist tattoo. That’s good for at least 5 minutes of conversation.
