I’m 22 and I can’t for the life of me talk to people in a meaningful way. I can be polite and say excuse me ect but when it comes to cracking a joke or talking about myself my mind becomes literally tv static.

Exposure, exposure, exposure. Everyday do something small socially. Look people in the eyes, smile, acknowledge people. The barista, the mail person, ect. After a while you’ll be so comfortable, it’ll be second nature. Then you can move onto conversations. It’s small steps.

Serving/bartending will sharpen your social skills so fast! I did it for 10 years as an introvert and I feel like I can be put in any room and start a convo

Yup. When you miss out on key developmental milestones in your formative years its actually over. Thats something our parents don’t understand when they say bs like “you’re still young”. No amount of physical improvement or career advancement can compensate for that.

The woman leading my last apartment tour was exactly my age (26) and assumed I was significantly younger than her. I feel like I am 16 in comparison to other adults. My behavior has often been compared to cat valentine from victorious and Alice in wonderland. Just ditzy and stupid 😐 which I know I’m not; it might be mostly low confidence and lack of social experience

as a 19 yr old woman, I feel like a 12 year old in the literal sense. im too smiley. I get excited over little things. im awkward with men and am JUST NOW having my first boyfriend. I have an overprotective, controlling family and I have a bad habit of complaining about them. I can get pretty shy and ppl often infantilize me. 💔

Is it okay that I’m like this but I don’t want to change? Socialising is exhausting and I feel like it will be no matter how much I try and appear to be confident. I feel like I should just accept that I’m quieter and not as talkative as others

You are young, you’re 24! I didn’t start going out till I was 30. Now at 36 I’ve travelled the world and done a lot. Your also thin, white and attractive. You’re FINE! It’s not gonna happen in a couple months but keep working at it week by week and please don’t get bitter and resentful! That’ll kill your progress more than anything

Bro it is brutal but trust once you learn to accept and understand YOU'RE TRYING you will get into a natural flow state and learn who you are and the kinds of people you want to be around
