I’m scared.

Of rejection. Of failure. Of making a mistake. Of fucking up.

And what do I do when I get scared?

I clam up. I say nothing. I try to take it all in.

It doesn’t really work.

I’m sure you all know by now about my Asperger’s - but that’s only half of it. I’ve also got a bit of a mild anxiety disorder. Basically, I get nervous over the littlest things.

Things like talking to a person about how I feel about them.

I tried tonight to tell someone how I feel about them. I didn’t quite manage it - only managed to say something somewhat related. I just clammed up.

Why?

I was scared of what they might have said back to me. And I don’t know if I’ll ever know what they think.

Well, I do, kind of, because a mutual friend (who I can’t thank enough) was able to tell me. But it was scary to me to even ask to talk to that mutual friend about this in the first place.

I got nervous again.

I wish I wasn’t like this. I hate not being able to express my emotions. I can’t do it, even in private, because I fear how I feel. I want to cry right now, but I physically can’t do it. I haven’t done so in months.

If anything, I’m getting more nervous by the day, just about life in general.

But the worst thing is not knowing how to act socially, and when I try, getting so nervous about it that I screw it up. It’s a vicious circle.

I fucking hate it.

If you’re reading this, and you know me from dancing, you probably know who I’m talking about, at least for one of them.

Either way, it doesn’t really matter.

It just compounds my unhappiness daily. I’d say I’m definitely more unhappy than happy. And I don’t like it.

If you are the person I clammed up to - I’m sorry. I wish I could say what I wanted to to you.

A bookmark and my mousepad.
I couldn’t even fight off one zombie with those items, let alone ten!

A GPS and a banana peel. Wow okay.

My headphones and my laptop cord.
I guess I could make the laptop cord a lasso or whip or something. 

Pencils and a stapler? That could actually work!

A tv remote and a cell phone. i’m screwed.

My dog and my remote. Oh.

HAHAHAHA! A coaster and headphones! Bring it!

A loaf of bread anddddd a banana! :0

Game of Thrones novel and my binder…could work as a delay!

Two hard drives. Yes, I’m a geek. They’re going straight through the heads. Heavy enough to have some heft to them, light enough I can lift them. I’ll be fine. :P

This is true. And it’s why I can’t talk to you. I’m just too nervous.

I’m sick of this.

Yes, I’ve fucked up. I’ve let a lot of people drift away from me, because I didn’t have the balls to be the one to start the conversation for once, or because I wasn’t sure what was happening, or because I just didn’t know how to stay in touch.

I accept that. I still am no good at keeping in touch with people. I can count on one hand the amount of friends I talk to on a regular basis, more than once a week or so.

But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt when people suddenly realize I existed at some point, and rectify that as they see fit.

School was never great at teaching me what I really should have been being taught - how to fit in would have served me better than all those science lessons. I might know how to analyze a book, but analyzing someone’s body language would be much more helpful right now.

it doesn’t help that I don’t have the same interests as most people. So, when I try to fit in, if I get knocked back, I don’t always go out and look for other options. And the original suggestions don’t come around too often.

Long story short, right now I’m actually living a pretty lonely existence. I barely even leave the house but for uni and dancing. The problem is, I just don’t know how to be social. I don’t know how to have a life. I don’t know how to have positive interactions with people.

And it’s making me pretty miserable.
