Any youtube channel which teaches how to integrate into society if you didn't learn from your parents?
>>
Trying to learn social skills past your developmental years is going to be rough due to unmet expectations of an adult. Some would say you are fucked, but good luck.

Same situation as you buddy.
I could learn whittling from YouTube as well, but i have no wood and will make a lot of mistakes compared to learning from someone who's an expert at this face to face.
Youtube will give generic advice. They don't consider the diversity of characters and their interactions. Also people react, and if you're not mature enough it'll hurt. People aren't mature either and won't help you. We need a one to one teacher who cares.
Sadly our case is like Feminism in the pre suffrage era. Our situation is taken as "weird" for pointing out that people don't react the way they to do generic scenarios that normies build while giving advice.

On that note. What do you define as integrating into society? What works for me temporarily is nothing down the various roles that I've to play. And based on those roles, I've seen other people behave, made mental notes of the same and basically copy their acting. It works until a completely new scenario comes up.

I want friends and maybe a gf. Not performative, but people that actually care about me

How about look up some craig ferguson and how he behaves around both male and female guests. As far as I've learned, the topic of conversations are like an onion. The outer onions you talk generic things, nothing too personal just barely like what you do and where you come from. And as these people come to know you, you place them on various inner layers the closer they're the more personal the topic with generics a a spice.
Going the friend route works because men of our disposition tend to put them in a pedestal. So make friends first, both genders, break any illusion you have of treating anyone special. Learn how there's a very unique way of not letting anyone walk over you. The witty ones know how to. Otherwise what I do is I point out the exact thing they said and say I don't appreciate it and that was rude, and with a smile I saying sing think I want to be a part of this" and with a smile you walk away. Never lend money to anyone. Remember when you watch Craig, don't get distracted, observe and just see how the conversation is flowing

Craig Ferguson is fine but that's just one technical aspect of it.

I get no feedback when I'm trying things out, so all I get are shit experiences and what do I do with that? At glance I've "done nothing wrong" but I really don't do what it takes to be something for people, can't get past the stranger phase, don't know how to hang out. Because there's nothing but negative experiences tainting even moments where you should have been happy, you always stress over whether you're doing things right this time, and the stress buildup also makes you stop thinking beyond assessing danger.

So far the only thing I've learned is that you have no choice, so you must make conscious effort to stay positive knowing you will get heaps of shit anyway. Antidepressants are counterproductive, therapy bullshit wasn't designed to approach adult development and just tells you to cope with being an autistic retard and that you should meet other annoying broken autists as a consolation prize. The only direction forward is to keep being lost in the heaps of shit you will keep facing, and that one of us will find the path eventually. Patience and Hope.

Do you mean like facial expressions and body language, or even tone of voice?
