being raised by psychologists is obviously inherently bad but among other things it comes with the interesting effect where i was raised to know exactly how people work and what action results in what outcome when it comes to relationships and communication and how those can be optimalised which sounds like a perk but it literally fucking sucks because whenever i do them (consciously or unconsciously) i feel like a fucking social interaction machine and also any advice on how to overcome social anxiety is completely useless because i ALREADY KNOW these things i just have a mental illness that makes me too nervous to do them. tldr how tf do you just approach a stranger with the intent of befriending them i'd rather set myself on fire

#like i already know all the mechanics of it and i have a lot of friends irl but i #literally have no idea how I'm meant to just approach people. i cant even #say ''im so bad at it'' bc I'm not anything at it. i just don't do it #again i know exactly what I'd need to do like mentally but i have like a #billion different issues bc /redacted/ i cant just do this!!!!!!!!! guh #yeah this is all bc i tried looking up how to overcome the very specific #anxiety of not daring to go up to people and just got a bunch of #psychology shit that I've known since i was like old enough to breathe #im not proposing a solution there rly isnt one it's just frustrating that this #isn't something i can find any further answers to bc I've had all the information #in my mind for years i'm just too fucked up to do anything to get better #barking
