I really loved A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers.

It hit me right at a time when I needed it, and made me feel that change might actually be ok.

DAE Feel the Urge to Connect with an Old Friend Again but at the Same Time Feel Afraid/Relunctant? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

At my age, this has happened more times than I care to admit. With some people, it’s like no time passed at all, and everything is great.

With others, it has become very evident why we lost touch.

I haven’t discovered a way of seeing who is what type without just trying to reconnect and seeing what happens.

How to connect? (lemmy.world)

I just got back from two days at a giant conference. Every year I go, and my dream is to join in the community that it is a part of, and every year I come back, having talked to no one at all.

I can plan things to say, and then just shut down when the opportunity comes. I can also plan too far and figure that I won't have anything more to say after the initial contact, so why bother?

I've read various books on social anxiety and the old "How to win friends", but I just don't feel like they're helpful. Does anyone know of any resources that take autism and selective mutism into consideration?
