    I get the feeling that shit like this is part of the reason why I'm never able to talk to anyone in person. Like there are no examples of media online of losers every talking to anyone in real space and not being shut down, treated with disgust or mocked for the very idea.

      I think the best remedy against this is that you have to understand that a lot of other people look or feel like losers, and they still manage to talk to other people just fine. No stranger really cares enough to want to mock you. If you’re nice that’s enough for most people, you know?

        It also doesn't help that a family member instilled in me the mental state that I should never reveal anything or talk about any of my interests, because that will be used against you to mock and criticize you over your failures. I still have trouble speaking unless spoken too and saying anything besides reacting to what people say.
