My DIY Communication Cards

I've been using communication cards for about a year now, but I've only started using this set recently. My other ones were basically a bunch of paper cards that I kept in my pocket that eventually wore away after a few months. This time I got plastic holders for them and keep them on a lanyard so they're easier to use. Each card is themed on a specific fandom I'm in. It makes them prettier but it also makes it easier to remember which card is which while quickly flipping through them.

I'm still learning how to use these though. When someone tries to talk to me, I often freeze up and my brain stops working so I don't realize what I should do until after they've left. So far the only card I've actually used is the "I only understand English" one. That was until Thursday when I used my "Thank you!" card for the first time and haven't stopped cringing at the memory of it since even though I didn't do anything wrong. Social anxiety is fun. :')
