The other day at work I approached some dude that was wearing merch for my favourite band. I’m autistic but I’ve been trying to force myself out of my comfort zone but I still feel like an alien failing to blend in. He didn’t seem interested in talking to me about the band and it was kind of awkward from his end. I went home and told my mum about the interaction because I always overthink and nitpick what I can do better next time. Well my mum knows the dudes friend and brought the interaction up to him. Now I feel like a weird pervert. Not only am I approaching a stranger but I’m also telling my mum about it. I’ve never had an irl boyfriend and I don’t have irl friends either. How do I stop feeling like such a socially inept weirdo? The only human interaction i get is briefly with coworkers, my mum and grandma. I’m 18 years old and I feel like such a loser
