ppl will get online and be like ‘today a customer ASKED ME A QUESTION, what a fucking dumb idiot i hate them’ and its not even a crazy question and then it makes my social anxiety even worse that i might come across someone who thinks like that.
I’m going to a college graduation soon and I have no idea what to wear. I haven’t been to a graduation since I was a kid. I don’t wear skirts or dresses. I don’t need to be very fancy, but I still want to look nice. I’m 21 if that matters and I dress more masc most the time. Lmao I wish it was winter cause it’s so easy for a sweater to look nice.
Had no idea how to word the title but here goes. I'm 21 now. I was homeschooled K-12. I didn't really have much interaction with anyone who wasn't a relative for a lot of my life. The church I went to only had 2 families, who were also homeschoolers, so I had like one or two girls I would talk to sometimes. But generally, I never really had friends or even the opportunity to have any.
My problem now, I have some suspicions that I might be autistic. But I have no idea if I'm totally off base, and my social struggles are just because of my upbringing. I have other reasons for suspecting it (sensory issues, repetitive behaviors, etc), but social is the biggest. What makes me think it is something more than just my childhood is that I have 7 siblings who were all raised the exact same way as me. And none of them seem to have any trouble making friends when given the opportunity.
I'm now in college, and I've made 0 friends, even though I'm a junior now. My whole life, I was looking forward to college because I thought I'd finally have the opportunity to make friends. I'm just heartbroken now. To me, it feels like everyone was born with these social rules ingrained in them, except for me.
