>>967031I feel you bud. But social interaction is like every other skill, the more you do it, the easier it comes to you. I know its hard, but just fucking get out there and do shit that requires group interaction (take bicycle maintenance classes, for example, or any night class for something that interests you). Strike up some small talk when your at the store, or every/any chance you get. Go volunteer, which is perfect opportunity to have a positive impact on others and for yourself, or anything that requires you to be interacting with people. Who cares if you think you sounded stupid or "autistic" during some minor social interaction the first 50 times? Your the only one replaying it constantly in your head. Also, your on the right track cycling, but work out more, eat right, and get enough sleep. It makes a world of difference.
Just keep at it bud.
And remember....
YOU'RE MY BOY, BLUE!
