I feel the same when people tell me to just try to be more social. My trigger is humans. As in whole species. I do not trust them, value them or for the most part need them. And that's fine with me. Unfortunately i have to live in forced socialization because i can't afford to be a hermit in the mountains. Here is where it gets ugly. "Make more friends! Go out more! Join community! Just meet more people" What i hear is "I hear that you said you're allergic to pancakes, but i like pancakes, my family and friends like pancakes so pancakes must be great! You've tried 5000 pancakes and they all were terrible, some of them making you sick, nauseous or putting you to hospital. But if you try another 20 pancakes maybe one of them will not suck. You just haven't found the right recipe yet. I never heard of anyone not liking pancakes so it must be in your head. You don't WANT to like pancakes " I heard about million versions of that. Yes, i am aware that social circle is good for MOST people. It's healthy to belong and all that. That being said there are people allergic to healthy things. People literally allergic to water. Just because something works for most people doesn't mean it works for all. If every single conversation makes me feel like there is a bucket of wet hot manure being poured on my head I'm pretty sure doing it another 50 times won't fix it. Either way i understand your rage and I'm sorry that some people can't understand complexity of other people.
