How to know how to be normal (lemmygrad.ml)

It seems everyone is in on a secret I've been excluded from. I don't know how to understand tone or anything of the sort, I don't know how I come across. People get frustrated and angry at me. I am unsure how to be normal. What do I do? I have no idea.

I don’t really have any advice, but I wanted to commiserate with you. And to send you that emoji of those two cute yellow cats hugging. But I still don't know how emojis work. Just image I sent that emoji instead. Oh, and imagine I gave you really good advice or said something that made you feel better and gave you lots of money.

For real though, one of thing only things that has really helped me with social anxiety has been, unfortunately, getting older. The older I get the more other things have mattered to me than being liked by my peers. Still hard though, especially in groups or when I need to get someone’s attention. Sometimes not caring helps. Sometimes it’s isolating.

Cats hugging emoji again.

I understand individually each of the words you've typed, but taken together as a whole it is completely incomprehensible to me.
