Soooo I basically have no irl friends, havent for a while. I often find myself wanting to approach people “in the wild” but whenever I do, it’s… idk. It feels wrong.
My friends/family tell me “go out and meet people.” yes but how? How do I initiate??
“Just walk up to them and say hi.”
If I do that, people tell me I’m creepy and coming off really desperate.
The only times I’ve been capable of making friends are in a school/hospital setting, which definitely isn’t similar to being at a mall or walking down the street.
Yes I am on the spectrum and sometimes I don’t understand that I come across as “desperate”
