Please help
I actually don’t know what to do. I’m so socially awkward and anxious and just don’t ever know what to say or how to respond in conversations. Everyone I’m around knows exactly what to say and what to do except me. I never know what to say in conversations and never know how to respond either. I literally stood there like an idiot and said nothing when someone I knew said, “What’s up?” to me. I always stutter too and can’t even say my words properly anymore. I’m 19, and it’s so hard to make friends and be likable because I’m so socially awkward and have terrible social skills. All my “friends” are close to each other, and I’m just the side friend. No one texts me, calls me, or anything. I’m so awkward and my social skills are so bad that people literally get weird vibes from me and just leave. I just don’t know what to do. I feel like there is no way that I can be fixed. It’s affecting me when I work too. I’m so awkward, and my coworkers definitely think I’m weird. Even if I want to start a convo and want to get to know them, I just don’t know what to say. It’s actually so bad.
