>>15348029 (OP)normies say that keeping your distance with people when you don't have to talk to them is le bad because then they can't farm information and blakmail to use against you in future altercations. im neurotypical and can communicate with people to a decent level but i will usually avoid conversations or talking to people unless i have no other choice, in which i will perform fine in, with maybe a few small faux pas or awkward silences. it just isn't that fun in most cases and it feels like it can go wrong more often than it can ever go right. the only upside is that you feel less vulnerable than if you're on your own when in an environment like school ( i haven't held a job for a meaningful amount of time so i can't say if it applies to working too) where people will look for anyone they can attack, physically or verbally, if they can get away with it.
< i like being on my own in my room, even if it's a bit boring, just because i know nothing truly bad can happen to me aside from someone calling me mean nigger words on the interwebs
