If I didn't have my girlfriend, I wouldn't have interacted with any person irl for the last seven years. I do have one online "acquaintance" who sometimes talks to me out of pity, but we ran out of stuff to talk about like a month ago.I've been trying for years to build up enough confidence to make friends, but it's not working out. When people don't reply or never ask me questions or only give single sentence responses or never initiate anything, it clearly shows me they're not interested. Nobody has ever approached me in public, even at supposed decent meeting places like punk shows, pride parades, coffee shops, the gym, library, whatever. The few times I've tried to make conversation with other people, it's been completely shut down.This is not in my head. I'm too boring and ugly to be anyone's friend, but safe and responsible enough to be a romantic partner I guess. I can't even blame it on being a tranny either since plenty of trannies are cool and have tons of friends.
I know how you feel but I also give single sentence responses because of autism so I'm my own worst enemy....
my girlfriend dumped me and my online acquaintences have discarded me, so at least it could be worse. i also find it frustrating that nobody ever seems to ask personal questions even though i got very good at being spontaneously social for a year. it never gets better
>>43061683Maybe that's a part of it when I try to befriend autistic trannies. It'd be easier in person to read body language and stuff. Online, it comes across as me annoying them
>>43062327:( I'm sorry to hear that. The work has to pay off someday, right?
>>43062629never ever.

>>43062715i've been trying, talked to around 100 people in meaningful depth over the last 1.5yr from like servers, dating apps and going out to events and clubs for a year to put myself out there. i got a lot of nice attention but like i'll probably never talk to a single person again because i'm always memoryholedtrying to develop a friendship always feels one sided which i put the effort in knowing nobody has to be my friend which im okay with, i sorta am conventionally attractive enough to have my pick of people to talk with and like would go to a major city with a varied quality pool of matches and i am able to make conversation, but ultimately it never goes anywhere i guess people say they can tell when you're desperately lonely. i get people are busy i'm not offended but trying just feels pointless because it's hard to imagine how could i ever be a person someone wants to talk to anyways now because idk i know my topics about work stuff and i know about like movies and shows... even like a few people where i've hung out with them for like an entire afternoon or night and it felt like we had such a natural flowing deep conversation still barely respond to anything after i don't know what sort of signs i'm looking for or where i'm failing, and i feel like its only getting harder
>>43061087do you live in the us? if so what state? i wsnt to make freinds with people who live near enough to hangout with.. im very similar to you t.autist with a fiancee but no friends
