          @JessyP it doesn't interest me, either way, im pretty sure i have maladaptive daydreaming disorder so i daydream about conversations and scenarios alot, it doesn't help me talk. i just act like an alien around others. and because of that ive wasted the "best years of my life"

      I completely relate. Often I don’t even feel comfortable around family. I just got out of a psych unit for SI and it’s been even harder talking to people since I never thought I’d have to deal with that all again. I’d be happy to practice talking with you. Unfortunately the only girl I befriended in college turned out to know my ex was hardcore cheating and didn’t tell me…. So that friendship is over.

      I started online. Talking to people on the internet, as I saw more people liked me and thought I was kewl and crap I slowly started irl. It's way harder in real life ofc. But this was just a step in a way
