I think I'm socially inept

[Rudol Von Stroheim]

I used to be heavily introverted. Like a goodie-two shoes kind of kid. Back then I was reading whatever kind of books and liked educational shows. Didn't have much for company back then. My dad was like, my bff.

Since grade 7 though I met the special people that turned me retarded. Basically, I became more talkative and "bolder" because the stuf they did rubbed onto me. Laughed more. Talked to guys more. People and actions that I used to look down on as plebian offensive material became normal banter. Most of it consisted of laughing at stupid and offensive shit. I became more invasive of people's personal spaces too as this continued (the running joke is that I was secretly a crazy rapist [because I looked and acted the most likely to be one ]). We also like to swear and make these inside jokes when having a conversation.

So now I feel like this way of talking is starting to rub off onto how I talk to other people and I'm just looking retarded because of it. I make no sense now to the older religious people around me now whenever I talk. I feel like I'm swearing at any moment when I'm talking. I sometimes I do random shit and my dad goes ape-shit and gets all triggered even though it just feels like pointless stupid stuff to me.

Now I'm starting to think I've become socially inept in the exact opposite way I used to be. Back then I couldn't talk to people. Sure, I sometimes act like that now but now I'm normally just creeping people out into thinking I'm mentally retarded. I feel like if I had a job interview I'd mess it up royally by saying something or acting in a certain way that I shouldn't have.

Anyone else feeling abnormal

Anime gave me confidence. Maybe you should try it.

What would you do if your child was born acoustic

[Allura]

Well you might have to learn to censor some parts of your personality in serious scenarios.

I don't think you used to be introverted. You either are or you are not. Could be that you are extravert but you were shy. Or you are introvert but was unhappy and decided to change your behavior. But that won't change what gives you energy and what costs energy.

I think the fact you are aware of your "problem" is already a great step in the right direction. Maybe set a goal of what kind of person you'd like to be? What principals to follow etc. Could help you

You probably just don't have enough exposure to social situations, you should go out of your comfort zone more.

You're coming to general looking for serious answers, which really confuses me.

If you actually feel like you're fucked in the head or something go talk to your parents not fucking general.
