So, to meet lovely ladies like Joy irl, my best bet is to meet them online via dating apps (ugh) or Call of Duty lobbies (double ugh). It will be worth it, though!
Also, I relate to this so much myself. I can't hold a conversation in face-to-face interactions, but I've frequently been criticized for posting "walls of text" especially on the Newgrounds forums. Unfortunately, the "Boomers" in my life might have actually had a point when they've told me video games stunt my social skills...
