Glad I'm not the only one struggling to interact socially.
just got out of another social gathering for this holiday weekend. At all 3 of the meets, I expected everyone to be talking more to each other, but instead most of the focus was on me.
That's fine, I love talking about me! lol. It's a struggle to talk about others. I never genuinely want to know, but I know I should and I have to. Which makes it even harder.
Most of my angst comes from my mother and sisters. They used to always ride my ass about asking other people questions and if I missed something, they'd never miss a chance to berate me over it. Which just exacerbated my distain for social interaction.
I'm lucky to just remember everyone's names. I do find new cultures interesting, but there's bunny hills like listening/hearing about it, and then there's actually asking about it, which is like a whole mountain to get over, to me.
I feel too.... everything bad to ask others.
It's definitely a mental hang-up for me, because of THEM.
