Is it normal to make up “bits” to do in public or am I just a loser
Actually, don’t answer that last part.
idek if this question makes sense or not so if you have questions please let me know. I’m a little super duper autistic so I know I might not be thinking in a typical way.
But with that aside, does anyone else do this? Like sometimes I just have a funny idea for something to do or say in a certain situation and I’ll rehearse it in my head and then use it multiple times over and over again if it’s a good one?
Like, idk I have too many examples but I have a few that I can use when like just making small talk with people I don’t know that work out really well. I’ve got a couple really terrible puns and/or short stories about my unique name. I’ll use one of them depending on the vibe of the person.
Or like, I go to pro baseball games a lot. If I want to talk to somebody I’ll try and find someone who seems like they get my vibe and I’ll go “hey, which one’s yours?” and I’ll get a stupid laugh and that leads to a conversation. Dumbass shit like that.
I’m second guessing myself right now because I realize it sounds kinda disingenuous? I feel like I’m reading off of a script sometimes because I just autopilot into saying something I have before just because I know it “works”. Or am I overthinking this?
Sorry if this sounds super sad or anything. I’ve had really bad social anxiety until recently and I’ve only started going out of the house for the first time in years a couple weeks ago.
