Why is interacting with people so painful and exhausting, even

Because you're an introvert.

Because you have shit self esteem. Once you're comfortable with yourself it's a lot easier to be comfortable around others and you can socialize naturally.

my self esteem isn't that bad, when I'm outside I'm not thinking "im a failure" or whatever. I'm actually pretty fearless, I approach people most would be intimidated by

im totally relaxed, and im enjoying this other persons company, but nothing comes out of my mouth

it reaches a point where i start having to think about what i can say. and there the awkwardness starts

my head is just empty, it's bereft of things to say

i have ADHD if that explains anything

Because you need to learn how to enjoy other people's company on an impersonal level and find people who you genuinly like to spend time with. The pain and exhaustion never goes away, but if you don't go out there to find those people who you can be ok with you'll always be melancholy.
