Topic	Being Socially Inept fucking SUCKS.
LeetCheet 01/16/21 3:47:12 AM #20:	Lirishae posted... It does suck, but take heart: you're not doomed to be socially inept forever. I know autism makes things much more difficult, but social skills are still things that you can get better at with study and practice. Do those four people you mentioned have a circle of friends you could hang out with and game/watch movies together? I have autistic siblings, and this helped them tremendously with building social skills and confidence. Also, there's a lot of help available specifically geared to helping people with autism improve their social skills. Sorry I don't have any links handy at the moment, but I can help you later if you can't find any. Those four people are following: My brother who I live in the same apartment with. Our mutual friend we've had since our childhood. An old coworker who gives me a call every now and then. A social worker who was appointed to me from the government because I have Aspergers. Before the pandemic hit we watched movies together. There's also my girlfriend but I didn't count her in. Becoming friends with my friends' friends feels so otherworldly to me. It kinda feels like I probably shouldn't mooch on other people's friends. As I said earlier in this post, I have a social worker friend who is supposed to help me with this but due to this stupid pandemic I can't see him right now because he also works with frail, elderly people. This pandemic sucks overall as well because it makes making friends even harder than before. How are we supposed to create new bonds with people if we can't even visit them let alone be near them and do friendly things? People can't even date new people because everyone are too busy being scared of a virus. If I could, I'd take the risk of being infected if I just could make some more friends than feeling lonely and always having these toxic thoughts. Depression ain't good for your mental health. I've suffered from a brainfog that has gradually gotten worse and I just wish I could tell someone at work who could help me cope with it somehow. --- https://imgur.com/eQrRxik https://imgur.com/NC8itow <cite>LeetCheet posted [p:949557750] in Being Soci...
