Venting i hate being socially inept

[679chocolates]

i can't do anything i can't even say hi to people without overthinking both in person and online. i wish i was normal and could make friends but no matter what i do i always feel out of my element, like everything im doing is wrong. Like im stupid to even try. i've probably lost out on tons of opportunities connections opportunities and life experiences because of this but no matter how hard i try i can't imagine myself as not this social reject. I lost my voice and had a nasty stutter a few years ago which definitely didn't help as well. i wish i was confident and popular or at least could make myself heard.

I'm sorry you feel like that.

May I ask, what's the worst that could happen if you stopped trying?

I'm in the same boat. I hate oral communication. My brain overheats whenever someone talks to me. Then I say what I don't want to mean. So I'm isolating myself but these days I'm starting feeling lonely. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm really sorry you are feeling this way.

Hard topic because social skills are helpfull in life....

I feel you. I'm socially inept too...never use to be. Now it's just horrendously embassassing. I've isolated myself majorly.....which obviously hasn't helped. I've no idea how to actually interact with people anymore.

I'm sorry you are hurting.. ...

I relate a lot. I also have problems with regulating the volume of my voice when I do talk to people. I usually speak way too quietly
