Btw that's the type of person who says that they'll "punch nazis"

Yeah. It's always been hilarious to have a snowflake reel off a list of disabilities and anxiety issues, real or adopted for social cachet, then threaten to kill me. For bonus comedy they tend towards outlandish descriptions of what they'll do, as if their experience of fighting comes entirely from Hollywood and their impotent rage fantasies.

Well, maybe so but maybe not. I wasn't far off from the person described in this post at one point in the not so distant past. I suspect having spent my entire childhood reading books and playing video games is the reason I was pretty useless in the most basic of social situations.

Thankfully however the drive to get with women is extremely powerful and I certainly wasn't asking a girl on a date if I couldn't order a sandwich. So I started with the sandwiches, slowly, and moved up the chain. Now I'm married and posting on Saidit, truly the peak of human accomplishment.

I still get that feeling of wild anxiety sometimes, particularly when I'm about to cold call someone for work, but I ignore it these days.
