I’ve been thinking of playing again, but performance/optimization has always been terrible for me, and I even upgraded most of my components from 2016 era to 2022.

Yeah, I get that as well. I think most people have some kind of sensory ick. Mine is definitely overstimulation in a public environment. Sure, some drugs are not good for that type of problem, but others are. Not that I am condoning drugs as a necessary solution.

As for the edit, I am trying to remain self aware and non opinionated. Hopefully my ratio improves. I am a pleaser haha.

I hate being seen as well. The worst thing is when someone sees me having fun, though. I don’t think it’s a problem to hate socializing at events where there’s not much of anything going on. That’s easy to get sick of.

As long as there’s some desire to do your hobbies and maybe once in a while do them with people who you’re close with, I see no problem.

I hosted an in person meet up of strangers today for 3 hours. You have to work it like a muscle. Also, drugs help.

I am very much like this, though. You have to want it enough. How do you want it, you ask? Dopamine detox.

Edit: I just realized I posted this useless advice to the autism community. This probably will work for socially awkward shut ins, not autistic people. Sorry for the confusion.
