I'm 100% certain that if my sister hadn't bullied me in childhood and if my mother hadn't gaslit me

For getting bullied, I would have turned out a much different person i.e not socially awkward and able to maintain social connections, and maybe even have some charisma. But my mom actively separated me from social interactions. I do remember being normal. I was in pre-school and I used to have friends. I remember. I could talk to them. But all of it suddenly just got stunted. The others grew up, I'm still at the same level of interaction. I'm so fcked. Now I'm an adult, and I still can't keep connections. I'm far too dimwitted and far too lame to build up on a new networking opportunity, and to maintain new acquaintances. And I still can't hack the mystery of HOW. How do people click? How do they form these connections? Most importantly, HOW do they come up with humor right at the spot. How are they so funny? I can't think of anything DESPITE being comfortable in a conversation. I just am NOT funny and there's nothing likeable about me. I'm boring to be around.

Your problems are more common than you think. Alot of people have messed up social skills these days. Thats we come to places like this. Time heals alot. Just put yourself in the right places and have confidence in what your doing.
