Once I had more freedom and distance from my parents my social skills improved a huge amount. [...] Ironically my parent’s overbearing pressure to be a ‘normal kid’ probably prevented me from having a social life until I got a little independence.
I guess, pretending to be a normie when you are not, is not really going to fool anyone; the normies have a keen sense to recognize their own. If you are being yourself instead, it makes you authentic, and interesting for some people (and the remaining ones would probably not be impressed with your normie roleplaying either).
I wonder how much the secret to successful social life is finding your bubble. For the outliers, the answer seems obvious. But even people in the middle probably feel better with other people in the middle… it’s just that being in the middle usually isn’t called a “bubble”, and their bubble is larger and easier to find.
Even at thirty years old I cannot handle getting up early; I rarely wake before nine-thirty.
Does it depend on when you go to sleep? Or is it impossible for you to fall asleep sooner?
Wow, this was… intense.
