What really? You don't talk to anybody other than your parents? Ever?
How are you ever going to survive in the future? You have to talk to people sometime
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
really though: i'm working on it really, really slowly
i'm still not able to actually talk to strangers but i'm starting to get more comfortable just being around them
like today i was buying a thing and i handed the person the money (well my mom was paying for it so i guess technically i didn't "buy" it but yknow)
and that doesn't sound like an accomplishment at all but it was for me, since i actually interacted with a complete stranger and i didn't panic
so if i keep doing small things like that where i interact with people in some way i'll eventually get more comfortable and hopefully i'll be able to talk to people by the time that i need to
i know some people say i shouldn't do that because it's too slow/they don't think it'll work and that i should just like. go on a stage and give a speech in front of 1000 people or something
but i do think i'm improving by just taking small steps
this post probably doesn't make any sense
i tried wording it differently but it didn't help any so i just gave up
