Hey, anons. Can you guys please give me some advice with socializing with people? I really need to learn to socialize to avoid looking like a complete freak against other people. Thanks in advance - ;3

Why cant you socialize ?
Whats making you anxious?
I'm afraid of people thinking I'm a complete weirdo. - ;3
Another fact is that some people say that I have a completely different sense of humor.. - ;3

Practice. Get out of your comfort zone as much as possible. As long as you don't avoid people, and you're not a total asshole, most people will be down to socialize if you ask them. If they have scheduling issues, don't take it personally. Just keep trying and eventually it will become less scary and more enjoyable.

So I should simply try to ignore the fact that I might seem like a complete weirdo to them? This kinda effects my self-image in a negative way, since literally all interactions I have end up in a weird way, and I believe since I pervieve myself as beeing weird in these situations I become even weirder in the next interaction. You know what I mean?.. - ;3

Weird to me just seems like a relative term. What it usually comes down is weather a person or group likes or dislikes or is compatible your "weird". Try and find people that are similar to you and if it turns out they don't like your weird personality, keep on trying until you find someone that does. I have been in the same situation myself and when you find people that accept you, you start to not feel so weird with social interaction.

Just pretend to be the host of your own talk show.
Mostly just get people to talk about themselves they fucking love that.

It's probably that whinny attitude no one likes. Gotta be confident in yourself . Be positive to attract other positive people. Negative people push each other away. How it works ,yo.

There is no such thing as normal .You are a weirdo. You have to own that shit.

Rock more than just one sense of humour. You can like anything from puns to dark as fuck humour I know I do.Then you can see what humour fits with who. Tell me a joke or post something funny let's get a taste of this humour.
Take these things into consideration but not too seriously don't try to hard. take it easy on yourself, you are only human. Who cares what people thing anyways . They are all judgement pricks.

You are experiencing what I used to before i got a social worker.... Chances are the people you are sociallizing with don't think you're weird it's you who think you're weird the trick is to have a positive attitude about your self and gain more cofindence you're the only one that's holding your self back OP
So, In a nutshell I should just be myself and don't give a single fuck about others opinion, right? - ;3
