unicode needs to add a negative space
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.
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.
Legit feel bad for people who are socialized like this.
Pretend you like, and are interested in the meaning of, her unnecessary wrist tattoo. That's good for at least 5 minutes of conversation.
-Found a girl with a flower wrapping around her wrist and hand, I was genuinely interested because it was pretty af thank you
It might be true, but it's the last thing people need to hear when they're 15
OP also did not go outside for the past 15 years
Have you tried being blackout drunk?
That's what did it for me
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
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.
You can improve at being black out drunk?
Yes.
I'm sure it has some effect on your subconscious
But what if the next time is in 8 years, and then the next ones after that are 5 and 13 years apart? Won't be much improvement then, and it'll be 26 years later and you'll be pushing 60.
You can squeeze that all into one month.
Wait to turn 40, I don't give a f**k anymore what people think...
That only works if you manage to make it there without hating YOURSELF.
Anon never learned "practice makes perfect" lol.
Coping does get easier.
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.
Practice. It gets easier with practice
Not being able to treat people like people because they have different genitals, proving age is just a number.
You dont know what happened to this person.
A well written resume, a firm handshake, and a willingness to knock on doors is the key to success.
I keep doing exactly this to the girl at the gas station but it hasn't worked yet??
Maybe ask first?
Don't be afraid to pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
