Episode 7 ~ From Social Scripts to Improv Conversation

What happens when social interaction feels like a play where everyone else got the script except you?
Growing up autistic, I spent years trying to figure out the rules of conversation, dating, and connection. Every mistake became another rule. Every awkward interaction became something to troubleshoot. And for a while, scripts genuinely helped—but eventually, trying to find the “right” response started getting in the way of actually connecting with the person in front of me.
In this episode of Imperfectly Better, I talk about what helped that change: learning through failure, reflection, curiosity, and experience; becoming more comfortable saying “I don't know”; and eventually treating conversation less like something to solve and more like improv.
Along the way, we get a terrible teenage jazz-band romance idea, Data trying to engineer small talk on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Kaelynn Partlow's wonderful flying-dolphin analogy, five simultaneous baseball pitchers, and the realization that uncertainty doesn't have to mean you're doing something wrong.
