Say you're in conversation with friends or family, and you need to leave, so you wait for a break in the talking (which may be a while) and then state you need to leave so that you're sure everyone heard. Now imagine that that's either not acknowledged at all or is only barely acknowledged, and then the conversation you are/were part of restarts and continues on as if you hadn't said anything. What do you do/is the polite thing to do?

Happy #Easter.

I didn't make it to church.

I really freaking hate #ADHD and #RSD sometimes.

#SociallyAwkward

I should really sign up for the next class they're doing it in my church, so that I have, you know, a reason to go there.

I know that's gotta sound really awkward to anybody who doesn't have ADHD, but anybody who does have ADHD will instantly understand what I'm saying.

Addendum: Structure is everything to the ADHD brain. Just going somewhere, even if you know people, is freaking terrifying. But if there's a class or something with structure, suddenly, you're in your element again.

Hi, everyone! :blobcat_box:

I'm Willa. I work as a med historian and pharmacy assistant at a hospital, but I almost never post about that. I do post a lot of nature pictures, often fungi or insects. I have a degree in #mathematics which I currently only use recreationally. I'm #transgender, #neurodivergent, #GenX, and #SociallyAwkward. Interests include #Minecraft, #nature, #RProgramming, #tidyverse, #hiking, #IndianFood, #VegetarianCooking, #science, #SciFi, and #cats. I make quirky #music that you can listen to on Bandcamp (#electronica, #indietronica, #hyperpop, #ElectronicClassical).

Even though I struggle with social things, I do enjoy being online. I've had a few blogs throughout the years, the current one has been quite active since I started on December 14th 2019... I've been sharing a post every day for almost 4 years now! It's kind of an addiction :ablobcatangel:

I share many toots here. I love sharing pictures and AI stuffs to the Pixelfed site as well.

The thing I do struggle with a lot is: being active towards others.

I can share my things. I can answer people's replies to my posts and toots. I can like toots and posts by others. But...

As I previously mentioned here, I struggle with replying to other's posts/toots and with boosting their content. Somehow, a like feels less "intrusive". I can do it more from a lurking position... If that makes any sense... 🤔

There is no real wrong way to be on Masto, is you're kind and all... You can Toot, like, boost, mute and block as you see fit. And that's wonderful! :dancingbanana:

But some days I feel I should be more active towards toots by my friends. And I am trying. :blobcatblush2:

Maybe you've seen more boosts by me. If I boost too much, just visit my profile and turn off the visibility of the things I boost (another cool Masto option!). I try to engage more. But I'm often scared I may type "the wrong thing" or get misunderstood. As that's happend many times before... :blobcatsadpleading:

If you ever see me boost/reply something that I "could have done better", please send me a kind DM. 😊 I'm trying to learn and some things I guess I'll never fully be able to master... But I love to learn!

I wish I was braver when faced with meeting people. I tried to go to a quilting social event today. I got there, made myself a cup of tea and went to sit with the one lady I recognised. But I couldn’t find her. All the tables were full of people laughing and talking. I put my cup of tea down on a side table and left. I just didn’t know how to join in. I’ve been in tears since because it is just so frustrating? embarrassing? debilitating? not being able to do something so basic. #shyness #sociallyawkward

I’m reflecting on what I want to post on my #Mastodon account.

Soliloquising doesn't seem to be my thing; "soliloquy” being what I’m using to describe what we do when we post on social media. Could be part of #ComplexTrauma, being an #introvert / #ambivert or #neurodivergence.

As awkward as I feel to join in a conversation, it feels easier than thinking about what to post. Perhaps I'll get more comfortable with this after interacting with more people here.

@neversosimple aww the doggo looks awesome!

I totally understand. I do engage if someone expressly wants me to; if I can't tell what's going on, I simply move on :)

Now that I think of it, I tend to walk very fast, and I'd bet that most of the time when my neighbours see me, they assume I'm in a terrible hurry and not really available for small talk. Now, if I end up sharing the same lift with someone, I'll just stand there like frozen 🧊

Is anyone else in the late-twenties/mid-thirties range struggling to make friends IRL after spending most of their teenage years and early adulthood just... Adding folks on #socialmedia within hours of meeting?
Or am I just being particularly #sociallyawkward ?

I don't even know how to talk to my neighbours, or how to invite people to grab lunch and catch up without the assistance of giant corporate-owned directories.
