I wouldnt count work-related stuff as socialising. Only if people want to talk to ME and not with me about something. I love socialising and making friends, it fills my heart so much. Even just thinking about it. However, I have come to accept that people are human with flawed prejudgement. And many people have reacted negatively to me talking. So I usually let others make the move if theyre interested. Been pretty lonely but I have found some people who are really genuine (or they found me lol). I often go days to weeks without talking to anybody. And yeah, kinda depressing.
