Could barely talk a year ago. I was very depressed and lonely. Have went to stay at psychiatric clinics a couple of times. Only just recently got out again, but this time it was shorter than usua, only a couple of days. I’ve made some progress and now i can actually form a coherent sentence. Still incredibly afraid to talk to people. Still, after all this time I really don’t know the basics of social interaction How do you initiate a conversation with someone? How do you make friends?
Lol well yes, use your best judgement. But if you see people regularly, as in, you commute in the same space every morning, or in my case, sit quietly while your kids do dance for 45 min every week, at some point you can just inject yourself into the conversation. You’re not a total stranger at that point.
