Learning social skills =/= masking

Some people tend to call too many things masking. Some things are just communication skills. Unmasking doesn't have to mean you suck at social life.

I talk too much and my rule is only say one out of three things I think of to say.

(this is gonna be a long winded self rant, but I don't do it very often) )yeah I've been struggling with masking, and especially ADHD, I'm hoping if I can get on ADHD medication it helps with motivation to do stuff and similar things. one thing I feel with my autism is I'm in this constant state of overthinking, I overthink because of the autism/social ineptness which in turn feeds into a feedback loop, and overthinking about interactions that reminds me I need to try to get a new therapist, that's also something I've found, is I feel like is no therapist has actually really helped me, I went to this last one for a year and while she's been the best one I really feel no better and I feel bad I'm basically ghosting my therapist right now under the Guise of I'm busy with moving and a vacation I went on( which is true but still) I also find it hard to go out, I know I don't have to only go drinking, or only go partying, but whether it be because I don't like driving a lot, or the excuse of idk what to do, or that I'm tired from work, I just don't go out even though a part of me wants too and I mean, as much as I used to think I was incapable of making friends, I've made a lot of friends though my current job I've had, I mean sheesh I just went on a cross country vacay with 6 of them, but I also still struggle to connect with new people. and for very valid reasons them all being non autistic get irritated with me on how i view myself. every day I'm trying tho

Wait a minute is there a correlation between this and people only forgetting someone’s names

I learned how to not feel like I'm masking by just not masking. I'm bad at all social interactions and that's alright.

This is exactly what my goal is! I just want to develop better social skills since mine have regressed from working at home. Without my nervous system feeling burned out

this is an amazing testimony, I just want to add that finding only a few things to pay attention to is hard to do without trying really hard to understand things for a while first

I'll just medicate myself and start improving social skills because there ain't no way I'm doing it natty, it will just stress me too much and cause rejection dysphoria
