Throughout my life I had undiagnosed adhd and mild autism, had a few friends until I moved into a new area for middle and high school. I was a weirdo, I preferred being alone and never bothered trying to fit in. So I never really developed social skills or how to connect with others.I am in my third year of college and I still don't have any friends. I joined clubs, had roommates, I was friendly with them and exchanged numbers, but that was it. After we parted ways we never talked again, even when I reached out, it was clear it was one sided, there was no real connection. Every interaction I have with people is just dull politeness, "Hi, how's it going" or worse, it feels like i'm just the guy you like to hang around when you have nothing to do or just an tagalong who's there.desu I don't really care, but my parents are worried and I don't wish to stress them out. But all my attempts just feel pointless

>>34461263In my experience you eventually learn how to live life without a lot of social support. The best thing I ever read on /adv/ is that it's okay to be an introvert, just know that you have to hold yourself more accountable to make up for a lack of other people checking on you.3 years ago I was still actively trying to make friends to the point of asking random classmates if they want to eat lunch together or exchange numbers. I tried out a few hobbies and social events and eventually it all came to nothing, except for a few friends I made by pure chance. Like, in hindsight the few friends I made appeared completely randomly into my life. I didn't look for them, it was simply a small subset of the people I had met over the years and naturally stayed in touch somehow.Don't make friends to try to make your parents think you're okay. Just live your life and keep taking opportunities to meet people.
