Making friends is hard
I'm autistic and I personally have pretty alright social skills, I am very articulate but that doesn't mean much when I would like to make friends. I have friends but when I think about how I've been with them for years I can't recall "how" I managed to connect with them. Making friends for many of us is sometimes just a product of coincidence, the law of attraction, a natural flow of action and time. But how do we make friends at will? It kind of just "happens" . I've seen many folks throughout my life act to fearless and confident when they speak to others, their security in themselves captivates the listener and manages to form a connection of sorts. I wish I could harness that from myself, I love to speak to people, I love to make friends but it's so foreign to me sometimes. You know? (edited)

Just try and be the closest to the most charismatic version of who you truly are. It sounds like you're a good friend to have. Be exactly who you are while still being concerned for others comfort and safety. Anyone who doesn't respond to that was never a friend worth having. Seemingly random, but my three favorite songs about friendship are; what was missing, from Adventure Time, the loser wins, by atmosphere, and deep fried friends, written and performed by MF Doom. I think this is a good combination and more eloquent versions of the point I am trying to make.

I would say formed through shared experience but needs to be cultivated through communication which is aided by common interests.

I have been introduced to people who seemed to suit me and not connected at all. Two of my best friends are people I asked about D&D on public busses. All you can do is engage with people and hope you share an interest. :) Sometimes you'll struggle to find connection, but there's people in the world who will understand you.

my hobbies: 1
I love getting people drunk. listening to a person’s problems, seeing how he pours out his soul sobbingly, gets up but falls, grabs onto things but lets go...they are helpless and sweet. They give off a hateful smell of alcohol, but it’s tolerable. They can kindle anger, but not out of malice.... read more
