Ben: ((Looked down for a moment before looking back up to the camera)) I know, but I still feel like a burden to you. I mean, I go to the gym but that's about it. So maybe something other than that. I just hate doing things alone. I feel like people are looking at me. Like 'why is he by himself? That's weird'. You know? that's why I Don't go to restaurants or anything.
Coty: ((Watching their little brother intently, Coty kept themselves completely enveloped with Benji. He needed a listener, obviously, so that's what Coty was going to be for him.)) That whole stigma of people going places 'alone' is all malarky, okay? You can do whatever you want with zero other people or not. No one's looking at you weird for being alone. That's why social anxiety can be so hard for people to handle on their own because it makes them feel like everyone's looking at them when no one really is. Try starting off small, go to Central Park by yourself for a bit, and you can always get a pet, too, Benji. Like if you got a dog? You could take it to dog parks and meet other dog parents. It'd be fun!
