>library whore starts addressing me by my first name

>>11939638
I just had a short conversation with another human being for the first time in over 3 years. I talk to people every now and then but it’s usually about pointless stuff like the weather or some work we have to get done. This was probably the first time I got to talk to someone about my interests. It was mostly boring small talk about movies, vidya, etc. but I enjoyed it. However a heavy wave of anxious depression washed over me a few minutes after the conversation was over. I started over analyzing everything I said and began to regret ever having that conversation. I guess I was content to live my life in seclusion and isolation but now I’ve gotten a taste of human connection and can’t help but want more. Like I’ve been starving myself for years and my mind is expecting a feast instead of a morsel. This mundane, useless conversation is probably going to be floating around in my mind for a long time, long after that person has forgotten about it if they haven’t already. I should probably just avoid talking to people. I’ve been depressed for the past 10 years and at this point I hardly feel anything. Just a constant fuzzy sadness. Now it truly stings again.

Okay, so how do I actually get better at writing? Does it just come down to writing a lot or is there more to it? Like if I write a short story every day for a year will I just have 365 shitty short stories or will I actually improve?
