I know the feeling. I want to be left the hell alone. I am not good with people. When I MUST go out in public, or when I must work, I put on my mask and I power through the day, but it strains me after the normal eight hour shift to the point where the mask starts cracking and I come out, and I am not someone you want to socialize with. "But, Creed, you go out to nightclubs, you say, isn't THAT socializing?" No, it's hiding in plain sight, being alone in a crowd. I specifically avoid bars because they are not that; they are open invitations. Nightclubs, everything is anonymous, nobody cares who you are. I do not have to interact with people, they simply become environmental. But interacting with people? I don't do so good at that naturally. I had to learn, literally study, how to interact with people in order to be a somewhat functional individual of society.
I don't mean to say I am one of those weirdos talking to themselves on the street or making random hand gestures. I simply do NOT interact. I blank. I have nothing for other people.
And then of course everyone wants to tell me how I'm doing it wrong. "It's not healthy to be like this," some of more dimwitted ninnypoops I know say. Fuck you it's not healthy for me to interact with people don't fucking tell me what isn't fucking healthy.
So yeah. Take this as a "I get where you're coming from." Different symptoms, different reactions, same aversion to socializing.
