at best, you can just relate with him to make him feel at least comfortable like what notsid's doing and subtly give him encouragement

i can't say i often agree with you, but now seems to be one of those rare times

at least, that's how it was with me when i was at my lowest. straight-up "advice" usually just annoyed me, particularly from people who seemingly didn't much understand me in the first place. that's what it felt like when i was in middle school as well.

actually, i think it was 9th grade, so high school.

Apparently so differently that it bothered you.

I smiled.

Also who says you have to be comfortable around people in social situations all the time? What some term 'social anxiety' I see as self awareness. It's not a phase or a problem, just a personality perception thing.

Not Being on the COmputer / watching tv / playing videeogames All the time Literally helps your brain w/ social Shit like that.

I'm not saying that I have to be comfortable, I just feel uncomfortable in most social situations. I was at a party 2 weeks ago and I almost couldn't handle it. There were so many people that I didn't know and I was too scared to try to talk to anyone.

Then you're just a pussy if you can't even enjoy yourself in a crowd.

[Snowy]

ok

I didn't think a single word could affect me that much.

I could see how that could be, but the blunt it not the issue here. It's OK if you're marginalized in a so called 'party' which are in themselves cesspools for degenerates, mostly, at least at this age group and with this social crowd. So it's not anything important. But still Snowy, you should just be able to hang around, watch things, think things, and be alright with it in your own way.

I don't understand why there's this automatic fucking need to diagnose a dry spell as some kind of inherent and treatable flaw. Call it a dry spell and keep walking in one direction.

Everybody has shitty days and shitty weeks and even shitty months. Instead of trying to find definition, find some results.

you're just rationalizing now, which won't help reach what snowy wants
he can either:
1) devalue socialization
or
2) learn skills to handle with socialization that will grant him more opportunities

i dunno i guess diagnoses are mildly helpful in helping to find those specific list of actions needed to create good results
they shouldn't really dictate anything, which what contemporary psychiatric practices do anyways


also yeah, i remember you have problems with being pushed over by kids
and something vaguely about bullying?
what do you feel when you meet a stranger in a room?
and what do you usually think when you do?
