genuinely think i must have developed the least attractive combination of personality traits, its insane how quickly anyone who talks to me loses enthusiasm as soon as i get past whatever joke or conversational hook i initiated with. get okay amount of matches on dating apps etc but literally 0 interest past the first conversation. this applies doubly to non romantic relationships, i have maybe 2 long term friends who i rarely message and thats genuinely all i’ve managed to keep a hold of. it just hurts because i see even the most struggling people manage to find communities and such whilst for me its genuinely just a fantasy.

ok shite vent post over sorry i just needed somewhere to put my slop

    have you tried continuously asking questions and never talking about yourself? People seem to love that

    its honestly an effect of just being sort of behind in development. same story, people just drop me like crazy, and i think its because they assume im some sort of projected person in their heads until they actually react with me. i am honestly thankful my friends remember me sometimes but it also feels like a reminder of just how fucked things are.
