Dear creatures,
How do you deal with the overwhelming surroundings and social stuff? What can I do to be able to attend and enjoy without constant breakdown?

Until I solved my problem I will be with you in my thoughts 💜✨ and online. Miss you!!!
#autism #39c3

In the last few years it became more and more impossible for me to attend the event because it's way too crowded/loud while there was also the strong wish to interact with as many of you as possible ✨🌈.
Don't want to just spend the whole 4 days constantly in #c3auti space 🥲 (the space is amazing and helpful, not complaining about c3auti).
@kiwobin I do not know for myself too and am scared because of that, but ... "interact with as many of you as possible" will sure lead to be overwhelmed. It is okay to be at a quiet corner 90% of the time. Try not to maximize your congress experience at the expense of your own comfort and health.
@kiwobin Also, if you're feeling anxious about acting wrong in any situation ("social stuff"): You'll not be the only weird entity there. I am there too and have done that way too often. There is no problem to solve there, I think?
@thoto thanks. My mind still won't stop spiralling about social things. It's not just that 😵😵 I know I'm not the only weird one there... Hihi
@kiwobin Oh, yeah, for me it is at least a week already. But I am slowly recovering, so... maybe it will be not that hard the next days? Also a lot of imposter syndrome for me.
