i havent had any irl friends in years and it gets pretty lonely not having anybody to talk to face to face and i was wondering how people make friends. im 16X and im disabled, autistic, and agoraphobic, i live in a small town, and i go to online school so pretty much all the odds are against me lmao. so how do i even make friends when im a social reject who cant meet people through school or clubs?
ive tried meeting people at school when i still went in person, ive tried clubs and other social activities, ive tried meeting people through online school, ive tried going to some public places i feel comfortable and talking to people. but none of those have worked for me. so what do i do? do i continue trying? do i find a different approach? is there some kind of secret to making friends?
