everyone: you should use your 20s to get to know as many people as you can! spend your college years making friends and connections! you cannot live a successful life without a widespread people network!!

me, autistic + loveless apl: I should do what now

#autistic: don't know how to befriend (new) ppl #loveless apl: not interested in befriending (new) ppl #this advice seems sound conceptually but like #do you have any idea how HARD it is to make connections like this #it's like trying to study for a subject u don't understand nor care for #it's a hassle w too high energy demand & too low payoff #dont get me wrong it would be nice to have a support network #just wish it could be done w/o the agonizing social dance of friendship #autism #autistic #actually autistic #neurodivergent #actually neurodivergent #aplatonic #loveless apl
