Er der ikke også noget med at man kan linke direkte med !nyheder@feddit.dk ?

I’m not so keen on the recipes that use yoghurt, I feel that it gives me the wrong texture, so I’ve settled on this recipe that I think gives great flavor and great texture for very low effort.

Thank you, that's a helpful analogy. I'm self taught in most of the things that I enjoy, but since this is something that I don't enjoy, I might try to find myself a coach for this one. :)

That's a good point. I should change my ambitions and join something more local and regular instead of trying to break through instantly at a thing with 2000+ people.

You're making a lot of sense. I also struggle with phone calls, and the only way that I've found to make them work is to take out something that I can take notes on (or I will forget what was said during the conversation), and then just dial the number before I even have time to think about it.

It can be hard to remember in the moment, but I try to remind myself that the other person probably also wants the conversation to succeed.

Thank you. Looking at my own progression, it actually makes a lot of sense that practice without feeling anxious won't help (apart from training on what to say, or for example spotting when people lose interest because a story becomes too detailed.) I can talk all I want with those people I feel comfortable with, or in situations that I know how to navigate. As soon as someone I'm not comfortable with shows up, I still go numb.

So the only way to break down the barrier is to deliberately and repeatedly set it up and punch through it. I think I have something that could work for that, which happens regularly and which I have sort of wished that I could be a part of. Do you think it's possible for me to practice by myself, or do I need a therapist in the mix?

 

I just got back from two days at a giant conference. Every year I go, and my dream is to join in the community that it is a part of, and every year I come back, having talked to no one at all.

I can plan things to say, and then just shut down when the opportunity comes. I can also plan too far and figure that I won't have anything more to say after the initial contact, so why bother?

I've read various books on social anxiety and the old "How to win friends", but I just don't feel like they're helpful. Does anyone know of any resources that take autism and selective mutism into consideration?
