What’s your drama?

My drama is I'm socially awkward, seriously shy, and bad with the communicating with people in the outside world in general. Usually people mistake my shyness for me being snobby or stuck up. Which makes me feel even more nervous about talking to others. If anyone responds to this, I'll most likely start freaking out internally and wonder what to do, how not to offend anyone, come up with several responses, and then choose not to respond at all because I'll be too worried that I'll end up starting some kind of internet fight, saying something dumb, or something I'll regret in the future, and then by choosing to take no action I'll start to wonder if people think I'm being rude and ignoring them. Eventually, in about a week, I might decide to like any and all responses, without saying anything back, because if I did respond, what I said would probably be misinterpreted, and I'd end up feeling awful for upsetting someone, or because my words were misunderstood entirely (S.O.M.L.). I'm probably the most socially awkward person you'll ever meet. Which is a shame because I usually like people once I get to know them, and this has sometimes resulted in me going years without having friends in the immediate outside world. Currently I have two, because I had a weird day where I was feeling super social and confident...which almost never happens. (This is awkwardly long now so I'm going to stop typing...awkwardly.)

I have basically no friends because I inevitability end up asking questions that are too personal/insensitive or end up saying something annoying.

I have one IRL friend (god knows why) and I even cancel plans on them most of the time for no reason other than being social is exhausting.

I'll make it easy though, I expect a response to this, even just a smiley face, or I'm going to regret making a serious post.

You're okay. What you describe isn't much different to how most people feel. Sounds like you don't fake the social exchanges you do have, which is a good thing.

I am socially awkward. I will talk about the weather and some form of pooping in the same small talk.

I think the poopoo topic has become the new small talk.

Well that makes sense... it was all my family could talk about for a good 20 minutes this past weekend on the day my niece decided to bring her boyfriend over for the first time. I was mortified and decided right then and there that I will NEVER bring a boyfriend home to meet them 😂😫😂
