how do people?
The story
just moved to this new country and it's got me feeling a bit like an alien. everyone's out here talking, laughing, making connections like it's breathing or something but i'm just left here wondering what the heck am i missing? 🤔 sometimes i think there's some secret handshake that i never learned.
i try to chat with people at work or in social situations but it always feels forced. honestly, i can't tell if they're being polite or actually enjoying it. maybe it's because i overthink everything? who knows! still, it's crazy how they all seem to be on the same wavelength while i'm struggling just to catch up.
been thinking about this - do you ever feel like you're too awkward for your own good? that's where i'm at now lol. it's like everyone has a script except for me. guess i'll just keep trying and hope something eventually clicks 🤷
