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.
