>25>Made my own music solo since I was a kid and played many shows albeit with not much traction>Always get good feedback about stage presence and playing ability and apparently I'm charismatic in conversation>have band who play songs I write while I sing>When it comes to talking to people I'm retardedBasically didn't get into the local scene clique in late teens and early twenties due to being a degen drunk who embarrassed himself because of insecurity and social anxiety. Now I'm sober three years and there's a music networking event next week with loads of small bands. Its definitely worth going but both my band members are busy so it'd be me going alone. I do know one guy but he's the type who darts around constantly doing his own thing so I cant really follow him around, plus he's five years younger than me lmao.I've done this at parties and other events in the past, unless there's someone with me I cant introduce myself and talk to people without being hyperfixated on being a sperg. So I literally do the meme of standing in the corner alone.I'm getting older, I'm already a lot older than I wish I was when it comes to music production. I have to make a move now and at least get my foot in the door, but I always get anxious when going to events like this. At gigs I'm fine because I have a reason to be there. At somewhere like this, I will just get in my head about being a weird incel guy (which I am). WTF do I do bros?
>>128807678Fed bot threadFuck you disgusting faggotNo musical discussion herePoster only wants to talk about political subjectsDo not engageAbandon thread
>>128807697Also note the incorrect syntax in the title and other placesClearly a brown post
>>128807707I'm definitely not brown just mildly dyslexic and retarded.
>>128807697What on earth makes you think I want to talk about politics you fucking moron?
>>128807737i knoW that feel bro
>>128807737>>128807678Do a bit of acid. Could help not sperg out and find joy in the moment for some time
>>128807751I havent done acid for almost 10 years now. Fucking loved it tbf even if I almost fell into a bad spiral during it since I was smoking weed also. I definitely experienced living in the moment and euphoria. lying in my mate's living room listening to Bob Marley. Good days man, feels like a lifetime ago now.
Yeah man you sound like a failure. You were never gonna make it. Either nut up or give up, dumbshit
>>128807745Fun times my man
>>128807781Yeah I am a failure nigga, that's why I'm here. "Nut up" you got any real advice or are you just a cunt?
>hurr im a sperg and can only sperg out>how do i not be myselfFuck you and your retarded fake thread dipshitBe a fucking man, be funny, personable, have an attracting personality. or give up
>>128807808Clearly you're the retard here. I'm literally autistic pal... Got the diagnosis and everything, what a stupid reply. Bet youve never had any problems being social have you cunt?
>>128807829Maybe you should ask the therapist who convinced you you're mentally ill how to behave?
>>128807678What do you do? You go and network, moron. It's not about the cool kids letting you sit at their cafeteria table you drooling fucking autist. It's about meeting people who can help you entertain people for money.
>>128807842Therapy? Are you stupid man because ever since I was forced into it as a kid I've detested it. I despise it as a concept.
>>128807849They are quite like that from memory. Since most of them are around early 20s anyway. I appreciate it though cunt. I am a drooling autist and at least I accept that now.
>will not man up>will not seek help of medical professionals>will whine on 4chan and ask literal brown people on how to behave like a personYeah you were never gonna make it
>>128807861Why do you assume the majority are brown?
>>128807873Post wrist, cockroach
>>128807876Nigger I'm paler than you I guarantee it
Fine you're not brown.You gonna man up now and not be a bitch and talk to people about dumb unimportant shit and be funny about it and get laid and have a music career?
>>128807857Guarantee you you're making it about that. If you have something good going you will attract people even if you're a little awkward. Your energy even ITT feels very validation craving. I don't believe in you frankly. Sorry. I don't think you're serious about music, I think you just wanna be cool.
>>128807894I fucking want to mate lmao. Its been more than half a decade since I last shagged so. Probably need to get on that since I'm useless on dating apps.
>>128807896I understand why you think that but it's really all I love to do. Sure I want to get paid and laid etc but I love making music. What in your mind would make me "serious" about music?
Post your music
>>128807908Because you're hyperfixating on yourself and people's perceptions of you, rather than your goals in networking.
>>128807947Its more that I've observed a pattern in my behavior over a number of years and am convinced that will happen again in the same environment. Maybe you're right, I know I should go.
>>128808053>you're hyperfixating on yourself>no, i've hyperfixated enough to know it's not what im doingNigga
>>128808060Alright fair lmao. I'm neurotic as fuck
>>128807829you're autistic. that means by definition you cannot act normal. all you have is being yourself. the other anon is right, stop being fake.
>>128808066It sounds like you know what mistakes to not repeat. Just go and network, do your best
>>128807678this all reads like you care way too much what other people think and are out to please everyone instead of being yourself and letting that naturally filter the room
>>128807678>WTF do I do bros?Do the following.Download the audiobook for picrel.Download the pdf/epub for picrel.Listen to the audiobook while reading picrel, one hour per day.When you finish that book, pick another one with a similar flavour: books that focus on social interactions and what's going on inside the character's heads.Do this till you die.Maybe you won't fix your autism (and dyslexia) entirely, but it'll make it easier for you to live a more normal life.
Quit being a dork and get in the pit.https://youtu.be/SO_PW5yU6Ug
