M23 | struggling to connect with people bcs trauma ig?

currently on a waitlist to get back into therapy!

i feel like i struggle to connect with people because i cannot relate to so many things and get embarassed easily if asked about things like hobbies, music tastes, and interests. got treated like a little helper robot as a child and am only now learning to accept "frivolous" activities and conversation topics. its pretty isolating to only have a few "safe" people to talk to and to be paralyzed by anxiety otherwise. i miss being a more fun and lighthearted person.

im very left/woke/politically correct so if thats not your cup of tea i dont think wed get along much

i think i still have decent conversation skills!

would love to just get a random story or whatever is on your mind currently, i think that gets a conversation going better than "what do you like". otherwise i can tell you random stories lol
