[Vent?] Is anyone else just terrified of social interaction? And I don’t mean I’m terrified of it as in I can’t talk to people, If someone comes up to me and starts a friendly conversation and wants to talk to me, I’ll take that scenario willingly I’m terrified in the fact that I don’t just wanna get silently put down everytime I walk into a big event. I watch people having fun, talking to their friends, joking, chasing each other around, each sharing the spotlight with each other, but I don’t ever seem to get included, and when I do, it’s in brief moments. I used to love funny chaotic situations including tons of people, but now when I look at them, I’m terrified because I feel like I’m always the last to get noticed in a crowded room. I wanna be a part of those funny, amazing moments so badly, but I’m scared to try and even bring attention to myself because I feel like if I do it too many times, they’ll get fed up and think I’m an attention seeker. I usually spend my time one on one with friends whether we’re playing alone, in a public server online, or out in the real world. It makes it easier when I have someone next to me who knows me and wants to talk to me and cares overall. But then there’s big group calls that I get dragged into or that I just throw myself into. Everyone there has a chosen friend that they care about a little more than the rest. They center their attention around those people and I’m left alone. I can go silent in a group call for a while without anyone really bothering to care, or even just leave and the most they’ll normally give is a “Oh, they left?” (anyways, top 10 reasons I’m scared to try SEWH or any other cosplayer filled game /hj)

@TurtleTheT8rtle I'm really sorry to hear you're feeling this way Turtle. I can imagine how tough it must be to feel left out and scared to reach out. I want you to know that you're not alone in this; I've been there too. It's okay to feel vulnerable and scared, but don't let those feelings define you. You deserve to be included and heard, and it's not about being an attention seeker – it's about being part of a community that cares. I'm here to listen, and even though we don't know each other well, I want you to know that I'm rooting for you. Take small steps if you need to, and don't be too hard on yourself. You're strong for facing these fears, and that's something to be proud of. Hang in there, and remember that you can take breaks when you need it (Sorry if I sound like a Ai I inherited from my friend)
