Sometimes I slip into this state of feeling really nervous about interacting with others, especially those I do not know well, sometimes to the point of feeling downright panicky. Other times I am not at all afraid but I just cannot manage to hold a conversation or talk to anyone at all and would really rather just be left alone until my brain starts functioning normally again. I've always felt like there's something about social interaction that I've never quite gotten, like everyone else was given the instructions booklet at a young age but I wasn't and I've just been winging it this whole time which mostly works except something's missing. Something's off. And I don't know how to explain this properly.
Apologies for the rant/vent/whatever. Stuff's confusing.
