Can these people think for themselves or is everything a personal slight?

these prank videos are retarded and staged

if you think doing this for real would improve your social skills you're probably autistic

The point is that you have to be so willing to fail/be autistic that nothing can stop you any more in real situations.

you don't get better at handling people by acting like an idiot in public, you get better by talking to people normally

>>38722899
as an addendum I'm not saying that actually following through with it wouldn't be autistic, but if you're a couple states away then you have nothing to lose in the end

I like bale and all but, I don't feel like he'd match the same bateman that's perceived in the book.

But that's ok. Movies aren't meant to follow source material 100% anyways.

Most people with crippling anxiety in public act like idiots anyways. Doing outrageous shit like the OP is a leap out of the comfort zone whether you like to admit it or not because it literally involves approaching someone which most autists would never do otherwise.

this. doing it for a youtube video is one thing, doing it because you can't maintain a normal conversation without feeling awkward is just cringeworthy.

Most """autists"" could maintain a normal conversation if they alleviated fear.
>social prowess solely involves the act of maintaining conversation
Obviously a key tenant but there's other factors.

I don't not agree with you, but I'm curious what you propose in terms of alleviating the fear of approaching people.

>>38722969
more likely you'll be so embarrassed your anxiety will get worse

there's no miracle solution to being asocial, just take baby steps

>>38723024
Approach people, dipshit?

go to events where you have no choice but to interact without people without it being weird and forced. join a club or a group or something. just go out and socialise geez
