i thought I was getting better, but I’m falling apart. I feel like a clown, I interact with people, they laugh and then turn their backs. At the end of the day I’m back here, alone, and I’m so sick.

    I dealt with feeling like this for a long while. What helped me was trying to make everyone I interacted with a little happier for having seen me.

    The actual advice: people want to talk about themselves. Prompt them to, then remember a detail to ask about next time.

    It’s not that easy, but it is pretty simple. Your brain will try to make it seem hard. It’s literally just showing interest in others, and it’s simple and don’t let your brain make it complicated.

    Now go draw the rest of the owl.
