Socially inept?

[Anonymous]

I just need some advice regarding my socialization issues, I H A T E talking to people, I always say the wrong thing, I don’t know what to say, I’m second guessing everything and anything I said for hours after little interactions, thinking I said something dumb, or weird. I want to just go to work and do my job and not shoot the shits, chit chat and talk, I hate it so much it drains all of my life away, but I’m forced to, I have to talk to important people, bosses, make them all like me, not even just at work but every human interaction and I’m done with it, I just want to not have to talk to people at all ever. I don't know when to talk, what to say how to say it, what do I do.

Find someone to practice with and work in Abby steps to get better! This won't get fixed over night but months of small steps.

I found that after I took a college course in Public Speaking, things became easier for me interacting with people.

Don't overthink it. It's good to have self reflection but too much isn't good.

you get over yourself and start engaging in people. Quit overthinking.
