Many of us on platforms like this are introverts, or autistic, or have social anxiety, or for whatever reason, have trouble meeting new people or engaging with strangers. If someone wanted to engage you in conversation, what topic would you be happiest to talk about?

    In this post: dozens of people not understanding the assignment and discussing ways they get out of talking to others.

    People, this is why you’re depressed and anxious all the time. This isn’t identity and character, this is avoidant behavior.

      i am not depressed or anxious.

      i still don’t like talking to people, because they are boring and really selfish. I like talking to people who aren’t selfish and who are doing interesting things, but those people are very rare.

      What little inner peace I have once the constant negative thoughts are confirmed by talking to other people.
