(Anonymous) 2023-07-23 01:18 am (UTC)(link)1. Phone calls. I have to do them at work. I hate the awkward silences where they can't see me smiling or gesturing, mishearing stuff, misunderstanding them especially if the line is bad or crackly and hearing them get frustrated with me, worrying about getting details wrong and fucking up an order, panicking and babbling and mixing up my words, how incredibly overbearing I get out of sheer panic (AWESOME, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, HAVE A LOVELY DAY, TAKE CARE, BYE, BYE, THANK YOU, BYE)
2. Public transport. What if I get off at the wrong stop? What if I fuck up scanning my ticket and the driver gets annoyed at me? What if my card doesn't work and I hold other people up and THEY get annoyed? What if I stumble going down the aisle and knock into someone or just trip and look like an idiot?
3. Just, seeing people I know in the street. While I would be happy to go over and say hi, I often pretend I haven't seen them at all because I'm convinced they don't really like me or want to speak to me, and I don't want them to talk to me because they feel they have to.
tldr; I don't function too good.

(Anonymous) 2023-07-23 09:37 am (UTC)(link)ToT Feeling this so hard. Am I supposed to say hi first? Do I wait for them to say hi? If I'm supposed to say hi, what if they don't want to talk to me? What if they don't say hi back? What if I talk too much? What if they talk too much and I don't know how to exit out of the conversation? If they don't say hi, does that mean they don't like me? Will I spend an unnecessary time going over in my head why they might have not have said hi?
To avoid all of that, I just. don't. want. to. run. into. people. I. know. And when it happens, I bolt out of there.
