Seriously. I’m asocial and depressed. Also, I like spending time with people and how they’re there for me when I need it, but I also have several mental illnesses and no empathy.

I’m not obligated to give you something back when you buy something for me. I want it, and you’re nice enough to get it for me. Why do I have to give you something back? I don’t know what you want. I can guess but I can’t really tune into other people that well.

And when people ask how I am, I just say “Fine”. Why do I have to ask how they are? They never told me to ask how they are, they asked how I was. Also, what’s so wrong with “Nothing/Nun” when they ask what I did? Genuinely, I didn’t do much, there’s nothing to talk about.

It also feels easier to talk to men because they don’t seem to compete with me or expect much from me, how can I fix that so I can talk to my own gender?

    Spend some time thinking about the people you care about. If you think of something that makes them happy or will make their life easier do it for them and don’t make a big deal about it.

    The whole social experience revolves around understand them and what is important to them, and when you can, helping them.

    If you don’t know what is important to them, then you need to spend more time with them. Ask about their day and pay attention to the things they do.
