Who /selective mutism/ here? Everyday at work is a shameful

>>36811209
Sometimes I say thank you or hello so low that I'm sure I don't actually make any sounds at all

i got in trouble in highschool for not talking

>>36811209
>has a job

nice try normie

I haven't initiated a conversation with anyone at work in the past 3 months

What the fuck is wrong with me?

I just don't know what to say, i cant even say "good morning"

It's an awful minimum wage job, and as I said nobody there likes me because of my autism.

>>36811269
lel had a similar situation
find new work

>>36811287
I plan on it, though there's a good chance I'll end up on the same rut as I am at my current job. I might have a few shots before my first day to be more sociable and get myself comfortable with the people.

>tfw clocking out and you realize that you literally haven't spoken to your coworker at all in the past eight hours

i quit my last one, just didn't show up. the manager was some fucking total bitch who would dismiss anything i said when i tried to explain myself on whatever she'd yell at me for. i'm getting a comfy ice cream job now though with a sweetheart of a manager.
:)

I'm not really shy or anxious or anything.
But it just feels like talking is a lot of effort sometimes.

It feels like standing up from a really soft recliner chair, I have to kind of "swing" myself into it.

I don't know how else to explain it.

How the hell did you get a job

>>36811739
I presented myself well at the interview.

I haven't been fired because I am a hard worker and generally an asset to the company.

I know what you mean. I overheard an assistant manager and a shift lead talking about how creepy I am and how the GM had asked corporate if she could cut my hours, but corporate said no since I was such a help to all the other stores in the area.

kek, this is me as well. When I went for my yearly review I was so meek my manager literally asked how the fuck I managed to pass the initial interview (I'd run through practice interviews with a psychologist) and that I really needed to fix myself up or I'd go nowhere.

>>36812283
reading that really pissed me off
damnit dude

>>36812326
oh and she gave me a raise because I'm a hard worker and she feels bad for me. Pretty good outcome honestly.

>>36811209
I'm 32. I went my whole life not really talking to anyone.

I tried to voice chat and my voice gets fatigued after like 1 minute of talking. Also I'm not sure how to breathe when talking. Like I'll often say a sentence and I'll run out of breath trying to say the sentence. Then everyone else on voice chat talks so well and I get depressed as fuck.

I wish I was making this shit up.

you just gotta keep doing it man
speaking like anything else is a skill that you have to refine.

She seems like a nice lady.

I thought it was funny. The idea that everyone else was as unhappy about me being there as I was is comforting.

In high school there were a couple write-in "most likely to" categories. I won "most likely to be a successful serial killer" by a serious margin.

>>36812558
Yeah she's really good. I lucked out honestly because all I ever here about other people's jobs is how shit the people are. Gonna stay here for a while.
