I agree. Its crazy. I think all one can try is do their best. After nearly 40 years, all I can suggest is join groups of people that share your interests and maybe your struggles and be open when approached.

On the other hand, you can just exist and have a good time alone. If you cant do that, try and befriend yourself first because you camt get rid of them.

Honestly I would forget everything anyone has ever taught you.

Just be yourself and treat others with dignity and respect. What I’ve found is that you will slowly run into people you get along with. When it happens keep in contact with them.

Also don’t be fooled by people telling you that you need to have a big social life. You can spend as much time alone as you want.
