Due to my neurodivergence I never had real life friends (age 21). I am extremely introverted and in the rare cases I had people "befriend" me I would feel dread when they would call me or knock my door because they would obliterate my routine, so I would eventually do anything under the sun to get them to leave me alone.I tried to socialize with my university peers and tried to chat and socialize with them on Whatsapp but I sperged out, offended someone greatly and risked getting my ass whooped due to my misunderstood remark (they failed a course and I kek'd at it and the girls laugh - they got offended).However, everyone and I mean everyone went Reddit-mode on me, doing the equivalent of -521 downvotes and calling me an asshole for what really was a misunderstood sperg that I did not intend or mean to be offensive.Now everyone treats me like I am satan but unironically these normies are not the saints they make themselves to be. I've seen times and times these normies mock disabled people on campus and do shit so I can't let them to act all holy on me.What to do now? I feel like I am becoming a misanthrope.
>>34591216There are two ways to have a social life as an autist:You are interesting enough that people want to be around you and forgive you for your ""eccentricities""You spend a lot of time thinking about social interaction, train a lot and become a neurotic high functioooner If you are / can do neither of those you're out of luck mate. It isn't their fault or yours, just the way things work
Normies are the cruelest people on Earth, they don't have empathy, they're psychopaths, the only reason they don't commit crimes is because there's punishment, if they could commit crimes without being punished they would absolutely do it. They're hypocrites. Said that, avoid them at all cost, you can still make neurodivergent friends, and knowing they probably have the same issues as you, you guys can just mark a day and an hour to hand out every week. This way, your anxiety won't be triggered. Truth be told, humans need interactions, even neurodivergent people, and they need it in a regular basis, if you don't have it, you will seek it through cope mechanisms (anonymous boards...)
