Dang your dating, im too socially aqward too. I had a chat with a nice girl my age at the store the other day and gave her my number. And i honestly felt like i stood out like a sore thumb. I ended the interation with giving her my phone number. She didnt message me for 2 days and i felt like i did a shit job at talking to her. She eventually did and we talked, she got a bf :/. I am ND high fuctioning btw and im still happy to have her as a freind.
How do you guys get the courage to talk to people, im so aqward and i feel like i suck at talking to people i dont know.
Aswell as i have thought about if a ND would be good to have as a partner. I personally think that would work out great (assuming shes not too crazy) because. I dont mean this in the wrong way, but alot NT dont understand what its like to be ND and the challages that come with that.
I'm not dating anything. I was fantasizing about it and thought that if maybe an opportunity came along, I could engage or disengage...or I don't know. I'm just trying to make a game plan here. This loneliness crap is getting old.
You and me same brother
