Being an incel is difficult enough, now imagine also being non-nt. I suffer from severe Anxiety and I'm also on the Autism spectrum; basic conversation puts my fight-flight response on overdrive and thus makes socializing very difficult for me. I also have a tendency to overanalyze previous conversations I've had to see where I missed any social cues or responded in a way that would be upsetting /offensive to whoever I was speaking with. All of this affects almost every aspect of my life, from social settings to the workplace. The only time I'm comfortable is when I'm either alone or with my family. The only thing that seems to alleviate my anxiety is drugs, primarily weed and Alcohol, which I've recently had to put a stop to due to my health. I'm always left in a state of wonder whenever I see people enjoying themselves in conversation, like a foreigner unfamiliar with a language watching two native speakers conversate.
