Hi anon.

I am 24 and I feel extremely similarly and have the same thoughts often. However I am not a father.

I feel I have no intuitive social skills, but I’ve successfully been able to learn. For example, I avoided eye contact (and was not aware) until I was 12. I still struggle with basic social interactions. Yet, I’ve been told multiple times I have great social skills. I think I just try really hard, and it’s exhausting. What most people seem to do intuitively, I have to concentrate on intensely.

Is there anyone you’re very comfortable with? Are your social skills improved when you’re with someone you love and trust?

Hey thanks for sharing.

I understand you.

Well I’m comfortable with my family.

My wife helps me a lot. I can just ask her when I don’t know how to react. Or she reminds me when I need to thank someone.

When I’m exhausted of social interacting I can just chill and she guides me.

But I’m sure anyone can help you when you trust the person.
