Idk what to do man I just feel like an outcast all the time. I’m like an alien to others. I don’t act right and can barely carry a conversation even with a ton of support from the other person. I’ve been trying so hard to work on it but I just feel no progress has been made

  2. what if you would just say fuck it, so be it? That is, if a conversation doesn’t go well, so be it. You move on to the next one. And next one. And next one. Until you have done it 1000 times. After that, you can probably draw statistically significant conclusions and analyze the situation. I think it would also be likely that over time, with practice, you will learn new skills, small steps at a time, and by the end, it’s not unlikely you won’t even need to look back and reanalyze the situation.

    This will probably not feel easy. There will be plenty of moments when you feel stressed/awkward, but this WILL NOT harm you (it just feels like it). As they say, “practice makes perfect” I think the big misconception is that we need to practice at things a lot more than we think, and with great frequency while also keeping in mind it is just that; practice. You can and it makes sense to analyze each situation for learning purposes, but the ultimate outcome will be judged at the end of the practice, which once again, will take time and repetition.

    Do it 1000 times. Importantly, it starts from today, not the past, because from now on conversations will be seen as what? Practice.

    Does this make any sense?

    Edit: this would be one thinkable approach.
