Me, as a child, reading everything I can on how to interact with people and studying fictional protagonists intentently: "I will learn to interact!! I'll figure it out!!, just like I learned to cook!! These books will help me"
Also me: "learn! yeah! Social skills are learnt and totally not inherent skills that most people can't just do!! Hahaha, why does everyone do it so effortlessly.. wait.. wh- Why do you tease me.. what's wrong with me... wh- I did everything like the books said... I showed you the popular character- I took traits from popular book characters... Why..why am I falling behind... wait...why..why am I weird.. what do wrong.. wait... please... please... guys?"
