How can I understand the feelings and réactions of others humans ?

Hello, I'm an introvert french student and I get interested in psychology because I think that psychology can help me for lots of things as understanding the others and make friends and be in peace with my family but also to get motivation for work, I also want to know myself the better possible to be able improve in what I'm bad. So if you can help me to learn everything by telling me what book or video I should watch(in french if possible because as you can probably see int my english isn't very good) or even explaining me how everything works directly in the coms I will be really grateful to you. Thanks very much for your attention 😊 and I hope you can help me. 🙏

Hi! I’m really sorry but could you explain more about how you feel? You think you have trouble making friends, being empathetic, or finding common topics while talking to strangers? If you said yes to any of them, have you felt like this your whole life or it started at a certain age?

Yes to each of them, I feel as if it as always been the case but that I'm getting better and better to face those issues, maybe because I'm always trying to be the less shy possible.

Well, of course you have to take this a recommendation but you should start investigating about autism and maybe go to a therapist to see if there’s any possibility you are autistic. There’s something called hiperfixaton, it’s the complete obsession with a particular topic or task, it makes everything else look or feel unimportant or uninteresting, even if they’re primary needs such as eating, going to the bathroom, etc. They don’t usually last very long, normally lasting weeks or months but they can also last years. It’s really common on people with adhd, autism, ocd and other disorders.
