>selective mutismany anons have any experience doing this?i'm tired of talking, just wanna shut up and do the things i'm supposed to be doing
I never really thought of it as mutism, I'm just too exhausted to pretend to want to talk about anything. I've probably spoken less than a thousand words out loud this year, and most of those were spent on a work phone call a month back.
>>83088348Sometimes im thinking about how i want to have hot steamy sex with jar jar binks that have a giant asshole but then i remember its degenerate because its not necrophilia so i digress
>>83088348I genuinely have this, it's a real disorder and extremely rare. Funny enough it triggers mostly with family, only rarely with other people unless I'm in a bad place
>>83088348probablyI just have nothing to say to people I don't wanna talk to, or wanna build a relationship with
>>83088551diagnosed and all?how do you cope with day-to-day life?
I had it as a child and teenager. Sometimes I would feel unable to speak, even if I really wanted to. It made other people really angry and they assumed I did it deliberately. I never knew what selective mutism was until I was 26. I only assume it's gone now because it hasn't happened ever since dropping out of high school 14 years ago, but there's an issue with that assumption. I never tried to get a job, driver's license, friends, or anything during these 14 years. It has all been spent on my computer in my room in a house owned by family members who have barely talked to me at all throughout my whole life. In other words, I haven't actually tested to see if I still selectively mute after dropping out of high school.
>>83088551you are almost me, im pretty much unable to talk to my family at all but strangers and friends are fine; dad thinks im mute for everyone for some reason, thoi think i make my family look bad in public because of it, so i cant blame them if they hate me for itsince im around family 99% of the time, though, my speaking skills have atrophied a bit and i havent been able to pursue some things i wanted to do, like singing, youtubing, or just talking with online friendswish they would have put me up for adoption or disowned or accidentally killed me out of rage and frustration or something, fucking hate being the dumb retard of my family
life would be easier if born a mute
