I am rarely on the same page with others.I rarely connect with others, even those with similar interests.I am rarely vibing with someone when talking.I rarely 'pass' as a normal dude rather than an odd weirdo.I rarely am sought after as a conversational partner despite my efforts to conform.I, in turn, rarely seek out interaction with people; preferring time where I won't either awkwardly stand by listening to the convo or try to add to the convo and still fail the quick time event.Even in text, I can rarely fit in on autistic discord servers and am rejected by others online.On the rare occasion everything goes right for me, it is neither consistent nor the true me. I wholeheartedly feel locked out of human connection.
go to a social place where it's okay to have 2 or 3 units of alcohol and you'll figure it out
>>32605877Wow, this is me.
>>32605877Start talking to old people. You will find that they are always happy to talk to you, and they are usually great conversationists. The fact that they are old will take some pressure off you too. It's not like they are cute girls, right?Eventually their conversation style will rub off on you and you will communicate better with everyone. And you will also get used to speaking without social anxiety or "trying" to say the "right" thing.
>>32605877Good to hear other guys are struggling with this too even though I don't have any solution. I have had trouble connecting with people and establishing rapport my whole life. I blame years of being on the internet instead of outside. If my only source of entertainment was being outside and talking to my peers for hte past 20 years, instead of being online, maybe I would have developed some better skills.
They don't know I'm human just like them.I have memories, dreams, intent, a soul. To outsiders I am nothing but Oddball Joe with something off about him, so let's just steer clear or poke fun at him.One day I'd like to open a Cafe for college students and artists alike to socialize amongst each other.

>>32605989>Upon receiving Maj. Jones' phone call at Division Headquarters, Lt. Col. Ned Moore entered Brig. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe's sleeping quarters adjacent to the communications center. Moore wakened McAulliffe and told him, "The Germans have sent some people forward to take our surrender." Moore recalled that Brig. Gen. McAuliffe, still half asleep, said "Nuts!" and started to climb out of his sleeping bag.
>>32605877If your face is normal looking, then it's easy for you to just pretend to be normal
>>32606500That's not a good long term solution for an autist honestly. It eventually wears you down until you break down all at once.[spoiler]Speaking from experience.[/spoiler]
life sucks
