How to Socialize? - eviltoast

How do you get other people to speak with you? Usually I never know what to say in response.

Being a chatterbox hasn’t worked out too well throughout my life. Even in my second language, German, it’s evident im sort of a “parrot” when it comes to learned social phrases.

Socially exhausted right now and feeling like an alien.

    Totally agree. There’s a lot in this seemingly simple topic.

    Its often hard to unpick the differences that come from neurodiversity compared to the impact of living in a world that is often hard and even cruel to people who are seen as different.

    Consequences of that is things that sound easy or simple rarely are.

      Yup yup yup. The people who’ve literally been shocked that I’m not judging them break my fucking heart.
