I did it again. I'm in a discord call with a bunch of people only to start talking about stupid stuff and be told to shut up because I'm annoying. I thought I was doing fine. Every time this happens. I find a place I like to be in with people I actually like to talk to and the more I'm there the more my autism sips through and the more I make people hate me. I don't have any real irl friends so being in a community of spergs like that is basically the only thing that keeps me going. I mean I have my parents but without chatting with people about stuff I really want to talk about I'm going to fucking break. Why do I always fuck up and break the goodwill I've built with people? Why am I so fucking autistic and retarded FUCK
I'm not usually depressed but fuck if I lose that I might actually end it.
with me the problem is not that I can't empathize with people. That works fine, too good even. It's just that I can't present myself in a manner that invites them to like me. I just can't do it. My non verbal skills are shit, my body movements are clumsy and forced and I can be thick as dogshit when it comes to practical stuff. I don't understand myself at all. Sometimes I'm the smartest guy in the room, the next moment I'm the dumbest guy. Psychologists called it a "disharmonious intelligence profile" or st like that. It's causing a fuckton of frustration and self doubt, that's for sure
Parker Martin
Yea same happens to me pretty much. I think it's because we have bad social skills, we don't know what's appropriate to say or how to say it so we offend or annoy people.
How much have you discorded? I'm very new to it.
Jeremiah Lopez
a lot. it's how I do most of my social interactions these days. I'm currently active in a pretty big discord where pretty much nothing is off limits (besides a few very specific things) I like it there. I'ts the kind of discord where we post disgusting shit just to annoy newfags and normies. It's fun, and I really like the people there. But I tend to get complacent when it comes to my position and the people I know, and more and more I start to subconsciously discard my self-imposed autism-limiters. A lot of people there are a bit autistic, and talk about non-normie stuff, and I really like it. I just don't want to ever become that one person noone wants to interact with. That's like a personal nightmare for me.
Kayden Sanchez
I know what you mean, sounds like you're better than me at social interaction though, I can hardly do it at all.. I guess we just have to work on our social skills.
What was it like for your when you started, anxious? Did you improve your social skills if so how? I'm trying to figure out how, now I just listen and observe people so I can learn, eventually I will need to practice talking more.
Can you give examples of how you mess up? Maybe study your mistakes.
Ethan Scott
Surely there's enough discord servers you could just move to other ones indefinitely every time a server dislikes your presence? I'm more the opposite, people piss me off to the point I just leave without saying a word and disappear entirely, even in closeknit groups and servers I moderated.
IMO the best thing you can do is keep going until you find people who will atleast tolerate you no matter what. There are way too many servers run and populated by total faggots who simply aren't worth your time, if you have to find a bunch of autists to have a conversation so be it. I personally love those people with no filter who just shit up servers and don't give a fuck, find them
Elijah White
What are you saying? Tbfwy it sounds like you just want people to suck you off for being that kid But what are you really saying or doing that would warrant such a reaction
Carson Rivera
not really. This server I'm on has jaded me a bit and humor that was funny to me before now looks to me like normie garbage. I'm talking about being unnecessarily edgy, people thinking they are ''trolling'' or even those post-ironic memes I've gotten tired of at this point. Every server besides a few dead ones I just join vc and want to die immediately due to excessive autism. And I don't mean the autism I have, I mean FUCKING AUTISM. The haha eks dee kind of autism. I just can't stand it anymore.
Oliver Martin
What sort of "stupid stuff" were you talking about?
Henry Carter
nothing specifically, it's just sometimes I start talking, and talking, and talking, and the more I call a place ''home'', the more I tend to disable the anti-autism software. Everything I mention I've been doing better every year, but sometimes I still feel like I have to talk about something for the sake of it. I don't like being in a conversation and bringing absolutely nothing to it like I'm not even there, and sometimes I begin to comment on stupid shit or talk about really lame stuff. Irl I talk too little, online I talk too much.
Caleb Davis
you sound annoying, have you thought about not talking as much or being such a little bitch?
Hunter Butler
commenting on something mundane that happened which litterally noone cared about, I tend to lose track how interesting a given topic is the more I talk. I find it hard to figure out when it's time to stop talking and move on
Luke Murphy
nigger that's my entire problem, are you retarded? I get exited way too easily and sometimes mistakenly take a silence in conversation as a que to get it going again only to silence the convo even harder by saying autistic shit
Gabriel Lewis
Yeah i used to feel like this too, it's all about control and slowly increasing the autism over time as you get to know the other person and vice versa
Ryder Torres
Have some sessions where you can work through social issues and learn how to communicate normally. This sounds like something that should have happened earlier in your life and it's unfortunate that it hasn't, but you need to learn when to back off and pick your moments to talk about certain things.
Michael Taylor
i've given up on trying to make friends. I'm not cut out for it.
Carter Jackson
I know that feel. The only thing we can do is trying to learn from it and keep practicing. I believe in you user. We'll both make it.
William Morales
Kek I get it user, usually my problem is when I do say something retarded I'll try to explain it and I end up making it worse instead of just letting it go and letting the awkward moment pass.... I havnt talked to people in 8 years tho so I'm using discord to get back on the social horse, so far going better then I thought honestly.
How the hell do you guys even find discord servers to begin with?
Nicholas Cook
discordlist dot me , if you want a bunch of servers to sift through or just jewgle [interest] discord and you'll find links quality not guaranteed
Dylan Collins
It's better to be a sperg with no self-awareness that just rambles on even though nobody gives a shit about it than to be a robot who's too self-conscious and never speaks at all because he's worried that he's not contributing well enough.
A sperg can at least socialize and make friends with other spergs, or with normies that can tolerate him. A robot pushes everyone away and remains alone.
Aiden Ward
these spergs, THESE FUCKING SPERGS
am i notice a pattern in people in discord either trolling or noticeably mental illness?
Grayson Jones
What's your tag? I'll let you talk with no interruption. Girl here btw.
Julian White
stay away from reddit servers. these will always have any of these group: >redditor mods who hate EVERYTHING and EVERYONE except the following group. These will always find any excuse they can to abuse their powers and get away with it. why? because ego is the worst aspect of the human psyche. >the popular group of the "cool kidz", these are ALWAYS online and post constantly and all the time. they're so quirky xDD so funny when in reality they're just normies. that's it. they're just normies who use discord because their PC is on and whatsapp is kinda boring. you can recognize those when you post an offensive or weird meme and they will not know how to react to it. >the women. The Tumblr. the SJWs. Every reddit server has these and there will ALWAYS BE beta orbiters who'll defend everything they do no matter how dumb. (and some of them are mods too so you'll better watch out you incel nazi!) stay. away. from reddit discords. join discords from /vg/ and other less popular Jow Forums boards and talk with people in those. DON'T STAY ON DISCORD WITH LESS THAN 100 PEOPLE SPECIALLY IF IT'S FROM Jow Forums. Reiko is from the 4craft server and he's always online and always there. stay away from 4craft.
join discords with people who think like you and practice your social skills and ask for advice. just STAY THE FUCK AWAY from reddit discords
Jaxon Turner
Post discord link I'm a Chad Normie so want to hear how you communicate
Kevin Lee
Join our discord we will be nice MgeeAMh
Ryder Reed
4craft!
rChdptu
Tyler Reed
TBENaeN old sft server
Robert Gomez
Don't use discord except for small groups of friends. Discord is basically normie central, and encourages shitty cliques.
Anthony Powell
I don't even know how to find discord servers At least you guys have the chance
