I don't get social anxiety, but sometimes I dont want to talk. Just through in some "yeah, that's right" and "Oh yeah?". They can just talk while you think about the next loot drop you'll get in your favorite game.
They won't know the difference.
Alternatively, if you're sick of people talking to you. Just break the convo and start trying to sell them stuff. People shut up real quick.
You're already asking too much from someone with social anxiety.
Again, what use is this advice to someone who will spend the rest of the week losing sleep over whether that "yeah, that's right" was used appropriately or not?
If you can't say 3 words to someone and blow off convos. How can you even survive in the workplace? Social anxiety, sure, but too much for an "Oh yeah?" Come on.
How will you interact with co-workers or customers?
I go through the “oh for real?” “Damn that’s crazy” “lol wow” “I get that”
People say I’m really good at listening and a great conversationalist 🤷♂️
Problem is being on autopilot and then someone asks you about it later or something specific and you gotta zone back in and play it off.
🤣 this is true!
