yoyo trp ima newly unplugged guy and have read a ton of articels and stuff. One issue i have though: how do i get selfconcerned or self amused? I have a really hard time not caring and dropping my ego and stuff. I think it comes down to that i still try to get validation when interacting with people. Im to in my head and trying to not screw up conversations. So what are your opinion about this? Is there any way i can practically work on getting more selfconcerned and selfamused and not care so much what people think of me?

Edit: sometimes i think of a funny/cool thing to say but then i hesitate and dont say it because i think the person might not think its fun/cool.
