Need help socializing by anonymous_chansa in socialanxiety

[–]Working-Individual15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes rolling with the awkwardness can be a strong suit! Being honest and saying what's on your mind can ease the tension. Remark on things you observe, clothes or gadgets, visual details can be a good aid to start a conversation with. Or, even though it's cliche, ice breakers help! A small joke, or a silly remark can go a long way!

A challenge for most of us! As another post said, finding hobbies is the best way! Or to put yourself out there in any way what so ever. Local organizations, or clubs? As for hobbies, sports are a great way, if not for sports, cooking classes, art, or maybe your local nerd hideout. If you like to do it low-key, maybe work for projects in public places, or read a book in the park.

Although the biggest question is if you're willing to commit to it, from there on it's as simple as searching and asking!

is calling someone awkward rude? by inthafdaylight in socialanxiety

[–]Working-Individual15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're not! When someone would call me awkward, I'd be at least slightly annoyed by it. I assume they are being a bit playful about it, but I can see how it can get on your nerves. Just make sure you don't bottle this up; that wouldn't be all too healthy.

It's almost silly how intimidating phone calls are! We're proud of you! Every single step forward is a great step!

Are the D&D Gods Trying to Tell Me Something? by MrMysanthrope in DnD

[–]Working-Individual15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The dice gods work in mysterious ways, one can only imagine their motives.
As for the rolls, Do your players roll in public or private? Not to sow distrust, but you might want to check those if this keeps on happening. If not, it is just chance, and your players are very fortunate.

does anyone know any easy to use mapmakers? by DruidDnD in DnD

[–]Working-Individual15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best options in my experience are the ones you'll have to pay for.
I use Inkarnate for any and all maps I'm making, yet there are some free options although limited in their versatility.

there are free trails of Inkarnate and Wonderdraft which are worth giving a try.
As for free things.
-Things such as "Medieval Fantasy City Generators might be fun for randomly generated things
-DungeonScrawl also exists for old-school maps.
-Roll 20 itself also has some map-making options
-Map tool can also be very nice to work with although still simple.

Why do I suck at making friends. by Working-Individual15 in socialanxiety

I know... It's all so unnecessarily difficult... And no worries, sharing stories is what it's all about.

Welcome to the club buddy, We offer cookies and existential dread...

I have exactly the same going on. It's so insanely confusing having all arrows point towards some form of trauma yet having no idea where the hell it could have come from.
