not me tho i will continue to make useless conversations with others in the same situations as me even if it pains my anxiety really bad. my job has made me better at that at least
one time i tried to make friendly conversation with an older couple getting on the same train as me and the old man immediately made a joke about "identifying as" something to his wife instead of engaging with me whatsoever . everyone is evil and mean and antisocial now
When I talk to younger people in public now, there’s always this brief window where they seem completely shocked by what’s happening, like they hadn’t realized that someone talking to them here was an option
Some will be excited and get over it quickly while others will take 2-3 minutes to process what’s happening
these guys, also been told that my face is so fucked that i don't have a celebrity look alike. there is also a regular at my job who tells me i resemble a man he knew whose legal birth name is Johnny Disco. the 4th one makes me want to kill myself but it's one i get TOO OFTEN
