Big time difference in communication between strangers and even people very close to me where there’s nothing to hide from now to 3-5 years ago. I have read that it could be depression/social anxiety but I don’t feel depressed, just basic comms in the moment have become a lot more of a challenge. Anything that I can do to help this at least decrease I would be grateful. Love you guys

I find farting loudly then looking at the person as if they did it and I can’t believe they’d fart like that in front of me as I walk away usually helps them avoid conversation with me for the rest of the social gathering.

Yes, I overcame it through AA. That’s probably not much help, but that’s what did it. I still get it from time to time but it’s much better.

Yes. I figured out that drinking made me more sociable, so I started drinking all day everyday. Problem solved.

I think realizing that everyone feels that to some extent helps me.

That does help. But you can’t really express these thoughts without further judgment. Only the OT or if you choose to commit to therapy
