>tfw you sperg out and get super uncomfortable completely whenever you're around new people
>tfw brothers bring their gfs for family get-together so u just sit there, unable to answer any questions with more than a single word, not partaking in the conversation. Mom keeps asking if ur alright, dads giving you the "get ur shit together"-look. Everyone's having a good time and ur just sitting there cold sweating like a retard, staring into thin air, trying not to come across as a creep altho you definitely are, wishing you were at home working on your monitor tan
How do I do it brobots? How do I hold a normal conversation with people? How do I open up and give from myself? I've tried drinking before situations where I have to step out of my comfort zone and it made me panic like FUCK, tried smoking weed and it made me paranoid like SHIT.
I just can't relax around strangers man, can anyone relate?
Like everything, practice.
But fuck that just avoid social situations like the plague.
well as the other anon said practice or you knnow
dont be a degenerate autist and talkt to people because unless you cant hold a conversation for more than 2 minutes they wont eat you
>can anyone relate?
Completely, and I imagine most people that actually belong here can as well.
I never really figured out how to not be completely socially inept, I just refuse to put put myself in social situations in the first place

Glenn is rolling in his grave after that post.
You just haven't been chosen to be socially conditioned. Someone should have walked up to you and talked to you.
They just chose not to. That's their mark, via plausible deniability, of branding you as a social reject. They refuse to give you the social proof necessary to participate in even the most banal of family activities. Not even worth bring in on the family gossip.
Sorry but your best option is suicide.

This new cute started at my job and I feel like this is exactly how I am any time she's around
>tfw everyone thinks you like her but it's literally because she new
I used to be like that but I learned how to do it. Lean on your back, ask questions, make eye contact, speak with a deep voice, it may seem hard if you're too shy but just detach yourself completely from your body. I do everything manually, like giving a game an input so your character does the desired action.
I watched a lot of movies and series to imitate the actors. They usually make a pause before they speak and give short answers. Yeah you'll be unable to make a connection with people but at least you'll feel like you're above them instead of below.

How do I practice if I find myself incapable of opening my mouth to string a sentence together?
>>36140738
Thank you, your suggestion has been duly noted.
>>36140853
I do a similar thing to function at work already, somehow it just doesn't translate well outside of that

me too. I thought it would relax me, and it did for a moment but then I got paranoid as fuck.
>tfw it's another office party and you've already made up every possible excuse previously so you're stuck going

You really really should try dxm. Like really, unironcally it does wonders for anxiety because its a dissociative so you feel detatched. I use to have this very same problem with socializing with people, but dxm has changed my personality and my life. Im not afraid to converse with anybody now. Its beautiful.

Doesn't matter, bullshit them, they'll say no and if they say yes you can be like "sorry I can't got stuff to do" and make them your bitch.
As for the movie part, not many people are like that. That's a particularly hostile person, most people actually enjoy talking about themselves and having conversations (specially women).

I can't function in most social contexts, I just get anxious and I can barely talk to my friends.
Today I went to some sort of local comic con for the first time ever and I felt awkward af.
I've never been attracted to comics or vidya so I kinda felt out of place.
However I admired the people there: no matter how insecure they looked, they had the courage to pursue their passion and a huge amount of dedication.
I never thought I'd say something like this but damn, I envy those nerds.
