It’s insane to me that someone who has trouble socializing would force themselves to go to parties. Maybe it’s something I’m too autistic to understand. Disabilities are suppose to get you out of doing shit. For example I use my epilepsy to never step foot in a club cuz lights. I’m not even photosensitive 😂
For the longest time I would try to push myself out of my comfort zone. I thought eventually my feelings about doing “normal people stuff” would change. They did not.
Just tell people you don’t like dancing, or karaoke, or whatever enough times and eventually they internalize it. I spent years cultivating a reputation with my friends and now I can just vanish for an hour at any party and nobody bats an eye. Need my “me time”. New people sometimes think I’m cold or don’t like them but they either learn and that’s cool or I don’t see them again and it doesn’t matter.
Because sometimes I can have a lot of fun if I’m feeling up to it. It just depends on my mood or whatever at the time, I can’t really predict or explain it.

I felt this in my soul. Never seen anyone else express this so thanks for helping me feel less alone in that department
