Little victories with social anxiety be like...

"Man, I'm proud of myself for being comfortable with telling coworkers they have beautiful hair."

Does anyone else feel this way? Where you're just talking about a special interest of yours and you look up and realize you've been rambling for the last 10 minutes and you've gone on 5 different tangents. Then you realize the person you're talking to has this look of "Get me outta here." or "Dude, you need help."

Literally I never get the same joy and fulfillment out of conversations unless there are at least 3 different topics in the loop and I can bounce from one to the other and back again.

If I have to stick on the same track and follow the flow of "normal" conversation then it feels like I'm having to hold myself back all the time. I can never really get out what I want to say because I have to literally reorder things in my head.

(Yes, I will continue to meme Lucifer, because he is adorable and my spirit animal)

Pretty sure it's just societal pressure nagging me that I should feel guilty for wanting to be home watching a stream rather than socializing (read: enduring loud crowds, incapable of conversing) in person right now.

At least, that's what I'm telling myself. For the next two hours. 😣

Applied for a job. Now have to live with the fear they might invite me for an interview.
