Normies are mean

toddlers are non threatening. Go to a local school and talk to them. Make sure its right after school or you'll interrupt their school work

What sort of trauma? I assume you're talking emotional trauma?

>>18174650
Zounds!!!! I feel like you should think about some medication. Like cannabis.

Honestly OP, people are always mean. There is no such thing as a person that can't potentially hurt you.

I suggest to deal with your trauma first, make enough progress so that you can trust normal people again.
Try not to shy away from social occasions meanwhile. Some trains stop only one time.

OP, I didn't leave my house for almost a year my PTSD got so bad. I'm almost out of the woods now though. Here's some things that really, really helped.

-Expose yourself to social situations in whatever degree you can handle. Maybe grocery shopping or just going to a park. Do whatever you can handle.
-Good Diet, excercise and take a supplement called 5 HTP. 5HTP increases seratonin naturally, which will help a ton with anxiety and also with your trauma in general.
-Make friends by playing video games. This helped me because it let me socialize in an environment that I felt comfortable in.

Good luck!~
