Asking a friend for help with how to handle an uncomfortable social situation is something that actually happens lol
You're going to have a hard time with life if responding to normal human interaction is an uncomfortable situation for ya.
Yes, yes you fucking are, and you know how you get better and more comfortable with it? By getting advice on how to do it right and then fucking doing it. What, would you rather they just never responded? If you got issues so bad you need this kind of help, then get that kind of help so things can improve.
Sincerely, someone who had those issues and took a lot of time, effort, and help making them better
Sorry this was way more hostile than I thought it was going to be, it just bugs ne when people are like "if you're like that you're a low functioning person" and like, obviously, you're not saying anything they don't already know, you're not helping things
It's cool. You made some valid points and shared your perspective from the opposite side of the fence. Thank you for sharing your perspective and broadening my understanding.
