I (m18) am starting college in September and I constantly obsess over my social skills. I currently only talk to two people from my old school but it might be half a year till we meet up in person.
I think I can come off as being blunt, speaking/ being quiet and have a rbf. I can’t hold a conversation for long without it getting awkward. I don’t want to waste my college years by not socialising but it’s really scary. I recently bought a book called how to talk to anyone about anything to help with my anxiety’s over this.
I also feel like I’ve wasted most of the summer as I haven’t really been practicing my social skills and my job doesn’t help much as I’m a barista. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
