Social Woes

[unspeakablehorror]

A constant source of stress for me is that I want to treat others how they want to be treated when talking with them (as long as that doesn't conflict with my personal boundaries or with my other ethical priorities), but there's also a lot of things that there doesn't seem to be any polite way to ask about, like a lot of social rules are just, you have to *know* what the other person expects without asking and without them telling you, and I just...don't really feel I do.

This is why I avoid certain types of social interaction a lot of the time.
