My SA is a negative self fulfilling prophecy
Posted 25th September 2016 at 21:58 by Amara 94
Imagine having no idea of how to react when someone looks at you. Not being certain on how to respond to certain situations that involve random interaction. Not knowing how to do humourous small talk. Getting weird or negative looks from other people for accidentally staring too long or not giving off the expected body language. Being criticised for coming off in a way not expected in social situations.
Well I suppose some SA people don't have to imagine this as they have experienced it.
How the hell can you enjoy socialising if your experience of socialising is exactly what I have described above?
I believe that from the amount of negative social experiences that I have encountered, I subconsciously believe that most people don't like me. I don't want to believe it but honestly I do believe it and in turn I am avoidant to social situations. I don't even try 100% in social situations as I don't expect much good to come out of them. And then I end up feeling pathetic for being a man who is clueless on where to look in public places and how to react to anything said.
