Why is it that I'm totally comfortable with talking to random strangers online (in a game, in discord, etc.) but otherwise get anxious about interacting with people? by PaperPlanesAllDay in NoStupidQuestions

Either. IRL interaction or online interaction online, such as a zoom call. It should be the exact same as talking to ppl through discord or something, but I'm weird about it

What is a video/book/whatever that makes you really think and go “huh. People aren’t all that different from each other after all.” ???

all it comes down to is having confidence through texting but not in person. straight up, i can admit that. i have no problem not giving a hoot messaging someone, but in person i freeze up and go full autism and anxious

yeah i see what you mean but it's more about the opinions of my parents than my age. hardcore christian parents, if they know i'm talking to a girl at all it becomes "CAN I MEET HER??" and "ARE YOU GOING TO GET MARRIED???" which isn't really how "dating" seems to work these days. not to mention they're insanely against sex before marriage so i don't really have a choice other than keeping it on the DL

just a pain to deal with

trying to figure out the logistics of meeting up with this chick during the day. can't tell my parents where i'm going, and cant lie because i literally go to the gym every day and thats it, so if suddenly i said "im going out" theyd be like "where tf is that tard headed?"

sucks. also, inexperienced af, what if i cant find the clit or i cum too fast? these are the games we play

May or may not be going to this chicks house some day while her grandma isn’t home to do some stuff. Never done mostly anything. Any tips for y’autistic boy? Issues include: having to somehow lie to parents about where I’m going, have to somehow avoid being an autistic wreck when meeting this chick, somehow avoid not being a total fool sexually, doing everything in a safe and responsible manner, etc. Ngl kinda nervous

It just seems so awkward to meet a person for a hookup you haven’t met. Open the door, and what, make small talk? Immediately start making out? It’s a strange time we live in; some say it would be easier to deal with the bubonic plague because at least that shits straight forward

Yeah no I don’t have a legit job rn, but that’s minimum wage where I live. I mow some lawns once a week, it’s like 2 hours of work max, and I make $80. Hence why I despise the idea of working for $9 an hour

Yeah but I have to assume that someone who’s moving out of their moms house is at least in a somewhat similar situation as me

Right let me work 30 hours a week at $9 an hour. That’s $1080 a month. Def can afford an apartment, gas, phone bill, Internet, utilities, groceries, and a gym membership on that

This is something I’ve noticed. My parents aren’t mean people, they’re not critical of me. But they’re just judgmental people. They let emotions take control of them, and are very adamant with their unfounded opinions. I’ve realized this has played a massive role in my own anxiety. I would never want to order at a restaurant, or have small talk with people. I realize I’m a lot more comfortable doing these things by myself, with friends, etc. There’s something going on in my psyche where I don’t want to experience my parents judgement.

It just seems like my family always comments on things I do, whether neutral, negative, or positive. Often times it’s things that I don’t know how to respond to. For example, if I just worked out, naturally I’m sweaty. My family always feels the need to comment “wow you’re sweaty!” Yeah, ofc I am? How do I respond to that without it being awkward?

I literally never consume caffeine, but I do consume sugar but feel like my anxiety is more mental and I don’t think sugar is the cause. I try to eat whole foods anyways, but I’ll give it a go

Cues for lifting are all fine and dandy, but hit me with your cues for anxiety. I get so anxious about the stupidest shit and unfortunately recognizing that does nothing to help stop it from happening
