I've been invited to Halloween parties 3 times this week by coworkers, and turned them all down. Even though, deep down, I'd really love to go and have fun and feel like I have a real social life. I'm just terrified of failing at social interaction. Talking to my coworkers one on one is hard enough, I feel like whatever I say isn't interesting to them and feel like they think I'm weird, even though Checking The Facts shows me that isn't true. I even feel this way with friends I've known since middle school. Sometimes I feel like I'm on the autism spectrum because having conversations and making connections with potential "friends" just, eludes me. I'm fine with my S/O though, for the most part. Anyone else?
