User blog:Frostyfeathers101/another post but I rant about my inept social skills

I am not very good at many things but the thing I am the worst at is socializing. In the real world, where you use these flapping things called mouths, I find it really hard to approach people I don't know or make conversation to people I do know. My words get all jumbled up and I either don't say anything or produce an incomprehensible mess of noises. Also the thought of talking to a complete stranger, even though I know it's safe, gives me the creeps. Online, the whole 'anonymity' thing dissolves the approachability problem but it opens up an entire new problem of overthinking every word I type down. There are times where it took me nearly ten minutes to type to someone because I kept rephrasing everything. Sometimes, it feels like I'm pushing away people because I'm trying too hard to be likable. I am an introvert at heart but it gets lonely sometimes.

I can't talk in real life.

I can't talk online.

This really is a catch-22, huh?
