How do people connect with people, emotionally? Like, I know I'm capable of it, because I have a friend with whom I connect (my partner); but, I never seem to be able to do it with most people. Like I can be friendly, and have amicable acquaintances, but I don't know how to make/have friends. I can communicate very superficially pretty well, but idunno. I make a post like this every now and then, and people always provide what I must assume are reasonable answers, but I just don't get it

@fcktheworld587 Not an uncommon issue, especially with folks even minimally on the autism spectrum (imo anyone with dyslexia, ADHD etc who is not neurotypical). Don’t know if all that is medically accurate, just my sense of it. I know people who’ve had friends since elementary school, but besides my wife and family members, I seem unable to stay connected. Since retirement it’s much more difficult to find even superficial friends, but my wife has an easier time of it.

@fcktheworld587 my experiance is I seem to be able to muddle through when my social battery is full.... Not sure how, but it does seem to work... Then there are days like today where I am drained post christmas and just nothing works. Good luck 🍀

@fcktheworld587 you have to share more of your human experience than feels easy, or comfortable. When you're willing to be vulnerable, other people can resonate with you on your frequency, and the people that resonate on your frequency become yours. The rest aren't for you, and that's okay.
