Venting Making friends as a mentalcel is basically impossible

[MacheteRape]

For context, I’m a diagnosed autistic and diagnosed with ADHD. I probably have depression and borderline, but I’m not diagnosed for either. Whenever I try to converse with someone in real life, the other person more often than not just up and leaves after a while. I’m never told directly what I did wrong, what social cue I missed, nothing.

Conversations (that I always initiate btw) just dry up because I don’t know how to talk about filler shit. I’m a sort of floater in irl friend groups, be they at my old high school or now at work, it’s the same shit. Never really getting close with anyone because nobody puts as much effort into the friendship as me. Only true friends I’ve ever made have been online.

I agree. I don't have much to add other than an affirmation, because this also happens to me and has followed me like an spectre, I never been good at making friends.

Being mentalcel is brutal you can never fit even if you want to and being yourself is social suicide. It won't get better.
