Bloody skin contact, stuff gives me the creeps.

People have no right to touch you unless you're comfortable and its wanted. Dont be afraid to let people know this either 😊

Good point, people are just bad at remembering when they don't have a reason, and I hate having to explain why to people who either dont care or I know will forget

People just dont understand, I dont think they're being malicious, they just havent experienced life through your eyes and they get complacent about things they view as normal.

Yeah true. But it's kinda hard to tell them off when social anxiety tells you they'll make fun of you.

Plus it's mostly my classmates so I'll have to work with them afterwards

Any advice on going to events alone?

Absolutely! Give me a little more information, what sort of event? Are you going alone by choice or are your friends not interested?

Like live shows or museums! I get too self conscious seeing everyone with other people. My friends don't have the same taste.

Why am I afraid of everything? (Eg. Asking a question in class,will I ever get a job, I can't drive so I always think I'll probably crash the car or something if I learn to drive, trying to interact with classmates etc. ) Even writing this question was nerve wreaking and kinda scary.
