Me in a nut shell. I was diagnosed with autism at age 5. I was put in special ed in the third grade because of ADHD, and because of this, I had zero friends growing up, especially romantic partners. Today, I’m 27 years old with a history of drug abuse and psychiatric conditions like bipolar 2. Anyways, I’m telling you this because I never really had the opportunities to develop my social skills, my body language, and my facial expressions. I’ve spent a lot of time alone due to depression and not being able to fit in growing up while playing a game called World of Warcraft. Idk if anyone here has heard of it. I’ve always been told that I have a resting asshole face so I’m even more afraid to put myself out there because apparently my default face looks pissed off. I’m shitty at responding, pretty good at listening, not very good with follow up questions, piss poor when it comes to eye contact, my smile is just weird af, my body language is just all over the place since I can’t for the life of me seem to find a comfortable position for my arms or my hands, and I feel like I walk really weird. I always feel off balanced when I walk but no one says they notice anything. I feel like they’re lying. How can I improve all of the above?
