At the end of the day if you do genuinely come across as a loser... well all that has happened is a stranger thought you were kind of a loser. That doesn't actually matter much at the end of the day. We're all kinda awkward sometimes; some of us much more often than others, and sometimes it's because of autism or similar, but in a random small talk interaction you can at least take comfort in that you've not hurt anyone or damaged anything, you just had a somewhat bad short conversation

I know a lot of people like to be able say "the usual". I never liked that. No real reason, just always felt like it's something I should avoid. A therapist would probably tell my why if I had one.

I don’t have enough disposable income to be a ‘regular’ anywhere but my kitchen.

Your bartender will also take care of you by not charging you for every drink. The general rule i followed back then was 20% on drinks they charged you for and 50% of drinks they didn't charge you for. They make more, you pay less.

"I like the smell of your shampoo."

Because they probably look like tgey eat a lot of cheesecake.

Same, although it was 4 bars. I was at all of them often enough to be a regular regardless.

When I was recovering from a broken femur, my physical therapist was just down the street from an awesome diner. Needless to say we went there multiple times a week for a couple of months; the waiter who was there in the afternoons had our drink order memorized and congratulated me when I graduated from walker to cane.
