I find that the best course of action is to just be so socially inept that it's painful to talk to you. Don't talk in the silences, make faces that don't match the expected reaction, be negative, or be doing something else on the side to really nail in that you aren't interested. It's avoidant but it does the trick.

Sometimes the best thing to do is just embrace the awkwardness. sometimes a Conversation gets awkward and the more you try to avoid that, the more the conversation becomes artificial and dis genuine. its normal to have awkward moments, and the best way to embrace it is to acknowledge it. if an awkward silence occurs maybe say “that got awkwardly quiet“ sometimes when things get awkward it’s a sign to switch subjects. ALWAYS try to find common ground when talking to new people. Ask them what they’re interested in, it’s fine to ask questions. Lastly if You draw a blank on what to say, if your brain freezes and you suddenly can’t think anymore, Make sounds until they’re words. The most awkward thing to do is nothing, so just do something

pretending like the awkwardness isn’t happening until theres a spark again — and if there isn’t , there isn’t. 🤷♀️ sometimes you match a person, and other times you don’t!

I used to spend every night sitting outside looking up into the night sky trying to find constellations. I used to be so obsessed that I got my Mom to take me to a viewing conservatory with a giant telescope every week so I could see Mars in 4K. When that wasn't enough my mom got me a million and one books on constellations, moons and stars, and how to identify them along with a shiny new high tech telescope.
I haven't used a lot of that stuff in years after we moved unfortunately. I learned very quickly that light pollution is a big issue once you move away from the trailer parks and into the suburbs, and any chance at seeing stars is squashed under someone's giganormous TV shining brighter than a Ford F150's headlights. Straight up archangel Michael coming to take me away during the rapture kind of brightness that these people are using.
However I am nothing if not stubborn! I will find a way to use that big ol' telescope I have and I swear I'm gonna find every constellation, star and planet that passes overhead if it's the last thing I do!
