It was not entirely about being socially anxious in a general sense. It was more about comparing my quiet lifestyle with busy-bees at my job. Do you know what I mean?
In general, my overall social skills seem to be intact with people that I know well in my life. And that's all that matters for now. I am not inept in social situations, btw. Upon reflection, most people at my job didn't realize I was shy until I told them...lolololol. I suppose my acting chops were in order in my previous career.  |
I'm sorry, I did misunderstand. But I still understand what you are going through. My work is the same way. People ask what I did on the weekend, and I'm like I slept. That's what I did. And they had all these fun things they went and did.
I just don't have the energy to keep up.
I have no advice other than don't be judgmental or harsh on yourself. You have a disability, go easy on yourself.
