I’m one of those people who plans out interactions with others cause I’m naturally a bit awkward.
I script a bit of the interaction, create a few different scenarios. Sometimes I’ll have a few talking points prepared catered to people for these moments. So I know they like some show I’ll bring it up as soon as it gets awkward. It works though they’re immediately distracted by stuff like this and I’m in the clear 😅
Typing this out made me realize how much I study and prepare for social interactions sometimes and every allegation about me being on the spectrum is correct.

i have a hard time talking to new people especially when i don’t know what their personality is like. the first twenty minutes of me talking to them is me trying to get a grasp of what they like, what they think is funny, topics to avoid, etc.
even if it’s someone i will never see again, i’m constantly wondering if i’m saying too much, not enough, if i’m being funny, and so on.
its ESPECIALLY bad if i want to be friends with them. then every sentence i say is pre-planned 5 minutes before i say it. i plan out every word and even begin to pick up their vocabulary.
is anyone else like this or am i just a psycho??

i find myself being increasingly awkward and overthinking every single conversation these days. i guess my “go to move” would be just saying the first thing that comes to my mind. talking about a meme or a funny encounter i’ve had recently and pray the conversation keeps going from there!

That mostly helps save the convo like a fun q&a or a cute compliment, idk, whatever the context is, I always manage to pull something out of my ass n’ say something nice when things are awkward.

Sure it has a few funny bits but it’s well past its prime. I haven’t seen an actually funny sketch in ages.
Can we talk about how they’ve been milking that terrible Domingo sketch for months now? Where is the joke?
Not to mention that terrible white lotus bit making fun of Aimee Lou Wood’s teeth. Tasteless.
