I'm supposed to be working at a gas station this week and I love drinking and I'm afraid the other 30 year old employees will make fun of my social anxiety.

Aside from the whole "working at a gas station" thing, I'm not exactly sure what the problem is.

Like, in addition to your regular job, or you just worked long enough to buy her that gift and then went back to being completely useless?

I used to work at a gas station and literally everyone except for the 65+ year old overnight lifer, from the manager on down, was a functioning alcoholic

I don't think in what state it ignites is what defines it.

Not a chemist either but gasoline never enters a gaseous state, it always remains heavier than air..fuel injectors spray it as a finely controlled mist and mix it with a finely controlled amount of air before it's all ignited together. It can be ignited in whatever form you want, that just wouldn't be effective at powering an engine.

I think this thought simplifies chronic social anxiety and is incredibly patronizing. As if people with social anxiety are unaware of how they perceive others and are unable to estimate how others perceive them by simple extrapolation.

this is really hard at my work. like 3/4 of them are old fogeys or young people with kids so the topics i'm well versed in, video games and masturbation, don't tend to go over well. ironically, most of the few people who those topics do go over well with, are people that you don't want to talk to because they are insufferable (like, people who will recap an entire bizzaro bullshit anime series in great detail unprovoked). i like english second language immigrants, you can talk about anything/stare off into space and they are just grateful that somebody is talking/sitting with them. other people you have to talk about sports or their kids to hold their attention.

lol, i don't care that much. politics aren't really that hot at my work anyway. a little talk about guns and why they are the greatest and gun control is the worst and how obama is a coward, but it doesn't get too political. sports is the real goldmine. people follow pro football like it's a second job. i don't wish to do the same just to make conversation.

OP post situations that you've been in so we can help and remember there is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, OP, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.
