yesterday i had subs in two different classes. and because my teachers don’t leave them enough information about me, bad things happened. both tried to force me to speak, make eye contact, and take off my headphones. the first came up to me and started POKING ME IN THE ARM TO GET MY ATTENTION. WE ARE STRANGERS, TOUCHING IS IN NO WAY APPROPRIATE (sorry for the caps, still very upset and disturbed by it). the second wrote down a note for my teacher to tell her that i was misbehaving or something. the teacher apologized and said that next time the sub will be told to just leave me alone in class, so at least i have that victory. i had to go home early because of this, and ended up having a huge, ugly crying panic attack where i told my mom i never wanted to go back to school because of how terrible the day was.

i'm. honestly so fucking jealous of people who have friends. people who can just. fucking talk to others and not want to die on the spot once they decide to say something.

Has anyone else seen the site succeedsocially.com ? I’ve been using it since I was 15 and it’s been super helpful. Gives you tips and advice on how to socialise without seeming clingy or weird. It goes over basics without assuming the reader knows the “rules” of social interaction
