How To Be Social When You Are Really Fucking Weird

Not being narcissistic, but many people have told me to my face, yea, you have always been weird.

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I can’t stand socializing! I am weird, so that doesn’t help any.

The idea always sounds great. The idea of going out having in-depth conversations with someone.

Actually talking about something that is meaningful. Or something I am interested in.

Except for my idealist world of socializing does not exist.

Or does it?

I think the worst part about socializing is that many people bore the fuck out of me.

This honestly is a total me problem.

Is it because I am smarter or at a different level than anyone else?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

I am not interesting or intriguing. I do not even drink alcohol, so I am usually the boring one who doesn’t drink or talk to anyone.

Mainly because without alcohol, I have horribly crippling social anxiety on top of being an introvert and an Empath.

I am not the life of the party, but living in society, being social, is part of life…
