Very real question here from someone that’s desperate. 25M
I’ve got a good life, professionally. I have my own company in renovation and real estate which is pretty successful. I have a lovely family with supporting parents and brothers.
But socially something doesn’t sit right with me. Everytime I interact with someone I just can’t seem to be myself. And I can’t hide that. People steer away from me. When I talk with people they always have this expression on their face like they’re smelling something or are in pain. It’s the reflection they have of my expression which is just very uneasy and uncomfortable. I try to hide it with smiling, but that doesn’t help.
I have the feeling it comes from deep inside of me. It really affects my relationships. I don’t have any friends. Which I used to have a lot all my life.
Where do I fix this? Therapy? Or get better at speaking?
