I used uber for the first time a few days ago and I mentioned to the guy that I had never used it before and I was nervous for no reason and he was joking like "oh don't worry I won't kill you".... like................ you can if u want

Anywayyyy I had never gotten an uber before because being alone with one other person is too much for me :') conversations are hard and I feel weird after have social interactions. Especially with men... 😬 idk why (yes I do) but I just can't stand to be around them. Even if I like them I still want nothing to do with them.... is that weird?

Well I survived my first uber. Yay... Ok bye I'm just writing this bc I'm bored and wasting time (but I would still appreciate comments 👉👈 maybe about ur thoughts on my men problems bc idk what that's about..)

    Probably just some discomfort, unless you've had some trauma in the past.

    I'm nearing 40 years old. I must have rode a bus for the first time without my mother around 12 or so. Scary stuff. JUmp to around 18, buses everyday, to and from work. Mind you, a third world country, buses full to the brim, sometimes in intense heat with no AC. Despite my psychological issues I was gifted with some intellect, so I always had work, but never became a boss or anything that demanded too much interaction outside my computer screen. Anyhow, around 25 I started earning more, and progressively started riding taxi cabs (no Uber back then). Way, way more comfortable, of course. But only physically: psychologically it was sometimes worse, because being alone with someone put a great burden on me, socially. Having to interact as not to be seen like a weirdo or rude, but my guts twisting every time he spoke or I spoke. Jump another 15 years. I must say it got better. Age certainly brings wisdom. I know nothing about you but I would assume there's a reasonable chance it will get easier for you too, as you grow older, especially because you sound kinda young. With that said, getting Ubers everyday still a psychological burden to me. Some dayus I get straight up anxious, on my best days I just get bored with the social aspect, since I have no interest in exchanging opinions with someone I'll never see again after 20 minutes. Yes everyone has something useful to share, but it's too much mental strain for me for little gain, so I avoid. That's it, just wanted to share my story with you. Wish it gets easier to ride or be anywhere to you. As for the men stuff, outside my expertise, I struggle to maintain friendships, relationships are alien to me. But wish you luck as well, whatever you do or do not.
