Were poor communication skills modeled for you as a child? Were you left to figure out how to do it on your own? Or were you shamed for not getting it right but never taught how to not get it wrong?
Reframe socializing as "it’s not just that I’m bad at this peopling thing, it’s that I was never taught how to do it well”.
