How do you socialize, as an adult, having been an introvert all your life?
I have noticed that my social skills are beyond underdeveloped. I was somewhat brought up by myself, as both my parents were working. I spent 90% of my childhood by myself, even in social settings, having no vocabulary to communicate with people, if there was a professional or pre-discussed agenda.
Now, being forced into reculsion due to circumstances, has made me desperate, because I feel stressed, being by myself all day. My ADHD makes me impulsive, and my self-assessment of my social interactions makes me feel like I am coming across way too strongly.
I am emotionally intelligent, but I do not have social skills. I struggle to fit in clubs and bars, and most upbeat events, and the slower ones do not interest me.
I am neither able to make friends nor date.
What do I do? I could use any help
