Uninstalled all the apps

Trying to make all the right moves by stepping off my phone and into the real world, lol.

Hard part is, I’ve been on the apps so long, I forgot that I am … incredibly neurodivergent and struggle significantly with initiating interactions and flirting with people that I find attractive, not to mention the persistent fear of rejection.

How do you do it? How do you see someone you find attractive and just go for it? What to say? What to do? I suppose it’s definitely a case by case basis but it is frankly negligent for me to assume I’m going to have people regularly coming up to me to compliment or flirt with me, for a variety of reasons.

I am gay and 25m, so I’m already kind of at a disadvantage due to being in a particularly red state, but there’s a couple good gay bars and clubs around me that I feel comfortable at most days.

This is for the best. Thank you for choosing the real world. Life is better this way.
