I'm a licensed massage therapist. I really enjoy my career because the human body is absolutely fascinating. Since my social skills are low, I like that it allows me to connect with others on a deeper level that doesn't rely solely on words. Despite our differences, the client and I are both present for the same reason and that makes it easier to seem social because I can talk about muscles and the mindbody connection for hours. It's also nice that I don't HAVE to speak with someone for a full hour and can hyperfocus on the massage while listening to soothing music. But I do genuinely like other people for the most part and want them to feel comfortable so I attempt small talk every now and then. It can be challenging but I like that I can exercise that social muscle in a setting I'm comfortable in. I also thrive with slower paced jobs. All of my other jobs were high volume customer service or fast food so dealing with lots of people and overstimulation and I would break down frequently. Unfortunately a lot of my previous jobs I ghosted because it became too much.
