WAKE ME UP INSIDE

it's difficult to do at first but say it when you think of it. Don't overthink the situation, don't be overly critical. Most people don't remember really specific things you say so if you say something dumb it's not a huge deal.

In the same boat, opie

> be the person I know I could be?
That's really it, man. The person I can be is locked away by my fear of social judgement.

I always have a uneventful, awkward exchange, and then replay the exchange later in my head where I'm outgoing and I say all sorts of witty, fun things.

Will it ever change?

>>25677632
Holy fuck. This is me in every social situation I've been in. People are talking about a topic relevant to my interests. Think of all this good shit to say. After I've formulated my thoughts, they've moved on to another topic. Repeat process.

>remember almost everything everyone says
>before I used to tell people shit they said in the past if I felt it was somewhat relevant
>they would be like, huh that's weird, I don't remember saying that
>I would then go full aspie and repeat parts of the conversation to jog their memory
>people start to find this weird
>now when I want to tell someone about something they said in the past I refrain from doing it
>if someone asks me if I remember "x, y, or z" and it wasn't a major event I pretend I don't

I had this happen with people and the conversation I referenced was literally a week ago, they still couldn't remember anything. How can people live like this?

>>25679865
I imagine it's normal for people with healthy social lives to forget unimportant conversations, since there's already so much they have to remember.

How do I get a job? I've been applying to supermarkets and office supply stores in my area but I haven't been getting any replies. Do stores actually care about people who apply online, or am I going to have to apply for a job in person?

>>25681159
just go up to the manager, shake his or her hand (his) and ask for a job

>>25678736
I am the exact same way. People found it weird so I stopped. Still is great for gift giving.

>>25681216
Even if you're trolling, pls stop. That's some dumb old person advice.

>>25681159
You fucked up, seasonal was your best time for a job. I'd say drive around and look for help wanted signs and apply in person. If you don't have the experience, it'll look bad for you when there's nothing to go on but that.

>>25681332
The only experience I've had working is ~80 hours of community service that I had to do during high school. That doesn't seem very substantial to me so I typically leave it off of applications.

Having a great memory is a sign of intellect, brobots.
I remember conversations I had 10 years ago (I'm 30).

Don't let the normies bring you down, you have a gift.
