    I’ve been literally dreaming of finding someone that is like me but anytime I have a conversation with anyone my mind just goes blank and I just stop talking because I have no idea what to say. And it really hurts because I’m not even an introvert. I actually love being around people I just don’t know how to talk to people.

    Facts im lowkey like this too I would say just try to make an effort everyday if u in school try joining a club sum that u interested in and just try to interact with people you dont have to keep a conversation up just regular small is fine too you can improve your social skills like this especially if you work at retail or a cashier that is how I got better with talkin to people highkey got outta my comfort zone. Trust me this s*** will come naturally to u dont even sweat it

    Bro what you’re saying sounds completely normal and part of growing up honestly. Not to discredit you or anything, but if you put this term on it and attach yourself to it you’ll only make it harder to get out of

    Were you guys born like this or did you end up like this from social isolation and bullying? I used to be normal but sometime around when I was 10 or 11 I started being like this. I think because I was really cringy around that age and people isolated me because of that.

    I was never bullied. I’ve basically just been excluded from everything my entire life. I’ve always been an outsider and a black sheep.

    I didn’t even know this was a thing until a few weeks ago. I understand what you’re saying but I don’t think the things I do are a normal part of growing up. I have to take medication or I can’t even look at people without having a fight or flight reflex. I wish it wasn’t true but I’m fairly sure that I’m mentally ill.

    I'ma be honest with myself here to help you op.
    I honestly struggle with this myself because i do believe I am an introvert, but at the same time I draw a lot of people into myself due to attraction from females, along with being chill and genuinely laid-back with people. I actually do like being out and around but Im, in a way, much too self aware and mindful to a point I don't extend s*** with anyone I'm not already comfortable with and that puts a minus on experiences I could have hence avoiding risk all together. I have no problem isolating myself and just doing what I want cause it's just pure for me.

    Are you close with them? Do you actively maintain connections and talk to them? I have a few friends from high school I still hang out with in between uni classes but I know once I graduate I'll lose touch with all of them and be left alone, just like what happened when I graduated school.

    I'm the odd one out of the friend group that has never had a one-on-one conversation, always just in group conversations. I barely know any of them because I've never actually talked to them, just kind of exist in their presence and say a few words.

    It's pretty much the only time I socialise as well. As soon as I'm home I just stay on my computer and don't talk to any of my "friends". I barely talk to my parents as well, especially because theres a language barrier between us.

    It sucks that I literally can't be a normal person and just have this s*** come naturally to me. I have to be f***ing forced into social situations by some external authority. I know once I graduate I'm going to be completely alone since I'll never be in a situation where I'll see my friends. My brain just never feels the need to talk or socialise like normal people do, even though I'm lonely as f***. I'm at the point where even if I made an effort to socialise, I wouldn't know how to because I've been starved of social interaction.

    Most of them I was never really close with which is why we aren't friends anymore. The only reason I was friends with them is because they added me in because they noticed I didn't have any friends lmao.

    The one that lives on the other side of country was/is? my best friend. We're close and I'd say that we've maintained the relationship as well as you can given the fact that it's long distance. Still feel like it's starting to die or at the very least get weaker because we're getting older and it is hard to maintain a relationship like that if y'all don't talk regularly.

    With my other friend I don't even know lmao. Honestly I feel like the only reason we're still friends is because he also has a hard time meeting new people so we've just stuck together. We do talk often though (excluding this month, haven't talked to him since january) so I guess you could say we're close.

    I get the same thing. People are drawn to me because of my calm energy, or because I’m really tall or apparently goodlooking or whatever. If I knew how to talk to people and carry a conversation I could probably have a great life. That fact honestly makes me feel so much worse. It’s like happiness is right there in front of me but I can’t reach it.
