Social Situations - Tumblr Posts
During social engagements I am either:
A) scrambling to find something to say.
B) wondering why i am/chastising myself for talking too much.
There is no happy medium. Whatever i have done is incorrect.
Ah. Some things haven’t changed

let me out. I'm surrounded by people I don't know from omaha and I just failed at trivia
Signs you're a recluse and NOT practiced at social situations 😭😭
- Social situations make your blood pressure rise because you think they're judging you off the bat
- Anxiety seeing notifications to your comment/post as you anticipate someone being nasty
- The sheer thought of meeting strangers makes you physically ill
- Hoping and praying you have something in common with a random stranger to save the conversation from crashing and burning
- Absolutely no eye contact whatsoever
- Overthinking what they say ttp it rubs you the wrong way and you hurt your own feelings
- Light disagreements leave you depleted, anxious, and shaky
- Intense disagreements bring you to silent tears and a depressed state
- Being insulted takes you days or even weeks to get over
- Making new friends is nigh impossible unless you have everything in common because you worry that one thing you don't have in common will tear you apart
- You need a distraction all the time to cushion the awkwardness (even with friends)
- Lots of time spent alone thinking about everything you said today and how better you could have said it
- Deliberately exposing yourself to having a bad time thinking you'll grow thicker skin for the next (you don't)
Reblog if you suffer from any of these, cause you ain't alone 😭
