Try volunteering somewhere.
People are just happy enough that you're donating your time and effort that you can be more sure they won't mind your self-perceived inadequacies, even if you think they're noticeable.
Having repeated positive interactions in a pretty reliable context like that can help give you a better subconscious ideation of what new people think of you. Volunteering will also improve your self concept as a good person who is likable, and worthy of being treated well.
- dczm 5y agoThanks, will put this on my to do list this week.
- dehrmann 5y agoJust please commit to it. I suspect organizations that use volunteers would rather have someone reliably there than someone who shows up a few times and quits.
- derangedHorse 5y agoThat shouldn't matter unless the organization gives a clear expectation of the commitment level the volunteer would need to provide. Most places prefer any/all volunteers they can get (remember it's free labor and typically spawned by a person wanting to do something good for a community)
- dehrmann 5y agoThey still don't like spending half the time training people just to have them not come back. No one like a rotating cast of tech workers who show up just to make themselves feel better.
