I talked to someone new in real life
| That's pretty good.
| That... sounds like a very troublesome disorder. Congrats though. Good luck in your continued efforts.
| OP kept stuttering and the other person was trying to finish their sentences for them.
| Cute
| Why did you?
| Aw. It'll get easier over time! I promise.
| It may have exhausted you, but I hope you found it fun. If not, I hope you can find it fun the next time.
| >>841634 there was a lot of me stuttering, yeah. but also there was him complimenting me a lot but mostly just saying "you're cute" or "you're rich" or "you're white" which I didn't like. I think he was flirting with me just because he likes the way I look and we're both bisexual. there was also also him pressuring me on every question. if I didn't have an answer to something he asked (mostly about sex) he would say "don't hide it from me!"
| and he also asked me why I was shy like twelve times. I don't fucking know! fuck off! also also also he grabbed my hand without asking which I really didn't like. so he kinda sucked. but mostly, I hated feeling like I had to let him be in charge. I felt like I need help getting to know people cause I'm a useless hikki. so I let him walk all over my boundaries. also I was probably too stuttery to say anything about that that anyone would respect lol.
| fuck, I feel so easy to use. and of course that's all on top of the normal amount of stuttery and bad at socializing I normally am, which I feel bad about too.
BUT somebody in real life did call me cute so still a win.
thanks for the words of encouragement. I assume the next time I try this it won't be this awful.
| Damn. Hope your next irl conversation is with anyone but that cunt. People like that are absolute trash.
Good luck in the future! The more you talk the easier it'll get, and the more people you meet the more good ones you'll encounter.

Wha? Whoever that was, he sounds like an asshole. Don't blame yourself for feeling uncomfortable. There are better people out there, I swear
| >>1bfada I would be exhausted too if I had to talk to a knobhead like that. Feel free to practice your assertiveness next time someone makes you feel uncomfortable. Or disengage at your earliest convenience. Hope the next person you meet is of the lovely sort.
| Aw, this is sad to hear, g/u/rl. I hope the next time you talk to another human it'll be with someone who respects you more than that nimrod. But more in the present, I hope you feel better than you did when you posted the OP.
| >>841880 I do. it took all day and it's made my finals week a lot harder but I do feel a lot better now. I think I'm still going to take a break to stay in my room and not talk to anyone outside of class for a while though. I've had my fill of socialization.
| what's really frustrating though is that this person lives in my building so I'm not gonna be able to just avoid them forever. at some point I'm gonna have to tell them off :/
| >>1bfada
Yeah taking a break is fair, it's really draining especially when it goes poorly. When/if it does come to having to tell him off though... Damn, good luck with that.

| holy FUCK it's so hard to do this shit. it was only 90 minutes!! and I feel like I've lost a whole year of my lifespan!! I unironically hate this shit and I'm not going to do it again for a month if I can help it. I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep now.
