🤝🌟 Making New Friends: Building Meaningful Connections 🌈💫

Making new friends can be an exciting and rewarding experience. Here are some tips to help you create meaningful connections and build new friendships:

1️⃣ Be Open and Approachable: Approach new social situations with an open and friendly attitude. Smile, make eye contact, and be approachable. Show genuine interest in getting to know others and be open to new experiences.

2️⃣ Seek Common Interests: Look for opportunities to meet people who share similar interests or hobbies. Join clubs, organizations, or attend events where you can connect with others who have similar passions. Shared activities create a natural bond and provide a platform for building friendships.

3️⃣ Be a Good Listener: Practice active listening by giving your full attention to the person you're talking to. Show genuine curiosity and ask open-ended questions to encourage deeper conversations. Listening attentively shows that you value and respect others.

4️⃣ Show Authenticity: Be yourself and let your true personality shine. Authenticity attracts like-minded people who appreciate you for who you are. Don't be afraid to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Vulnerability can help foster deeper connections.

5️⃣ Step Out of Your Comfort Zone: Be willing to step out of your comfort zone and initiate conversations or activities with new people. Take the initiative to invite someone for a coffee or suggest a social outing. Putting yourself out there opens doors to new friendships.

6️⃣ Be Kind and Supportive: Show kindness, compassion, and support to others. Be a good friend by offering encouragement, lending a listening ear, and being there during both the ups and downs. Acts of kindness can create strong bonds and foster lasting friendships.

7️⃣ Follow Up and Stay Connected: Take the initiative to follow up with people you meet. Exchange contact information and make an effort to stay connected. Reach out to arrange meetups or catch up on a regular basis. Consistency and effort are key in nurturing new friendships.

8️⃣ Be Patient and Give it Time: Building friendships takes time and effort. Be patient and give your friendships the space to grow naturally. Not all connections will turn into lifelong friendships, and that's okay. Focus on quality over quantity and enjoy the journey.

Remember, building new friendships is a two-way street. It's important to invest time and energy into cultivating relationships, but also be mindful of your own boundaries and needs. With an open heart and a willingness to connect, you can create meaningful friendships that enrich your life. 🤝🌈💫

I’m such an emotional mess

I’ve been saying a lot less

every time I get in my car I want to cry

texts + people, I could reply

but I just sit on my bed and stare at the wall

excuses excuses I always recall

“I don’t have friends”

my lie ends

I see my phone and the texts

which always suggests

it’s not them it’s me

more alone time I foresee

I can’t get the energy to reply

but I always retry

“I’m sorry I’ve been MIA”

I’m sorry for being this way

echoes in my brain

how do I begin to explain

the feelings I get

that make me upset

can’t move from my bed

feeling like I’m dead

but the texts aren’t from friends

my heart sways and bends

they’re from people who don’t care

aren’t even aware

that I’m crying in the shower

sobbing on and on by the hour

I wipe my tears and turn the water off

if people saw they would scoff

I think they would sneer

so I wipe my tears and disappear

paint on a smile

change up my style

because I’m just a clown in a circus

with no other purpose

they don’t want to know my woes

they just want to see the shows

they want entertainment and fun

they leave once it’s done

I swear I won’t put on shows anymore

but I’ve said that before

I know tomorrow I’ll put my red nose back on

attempting to make a bond

I’ll do my best to make it work

even daring to change my quirks

making all the conversation

open communication

I’m tired of trying

when inside I’m dying

-s.m.

Question: What do you do to overcome the feeling of being socially isolated from neurotypical people?

Someone in a Facebook group asked the following question recently:

What do you do to overcome the feeling of being socially isolated from neurotypical people? I do my best but I still feel like an outsider.

Here is my answer:

In my experience it helps to find groups or social situations where people are accepting and inclusive of diversity, regardless of whether people are NT or ND. When I used to be religious, I found churches with a mix of different cultures/ethnic groups were often a lot more welcoming and accepting than all white/Caucasian churches. Even as a white/Caucasian person myself, I found this made a big difference. I am not religious any more, but I find this principle often holds true in other groups as well.

I generally find it helps to connect with people outside my immediate peer group in terms of age/demographic too, as there's less of a competitive vibe and people aren't going to attempt to jostle for social status as much. I've found groups with people who are older than me are often more welcoming and supportive than groups of people the same age. Of course there's exceptions - I usually find LGBT meetups are friendly and welcoming regardless of age, but there tends to be a high percentage of ND people in those spaces anyway.

So yeah, I find looking outside your usual peer group demographic (whether in terms of age, culture, ethnic group, or otherwise) tends to make a big difference. I find if I put myself in a position where I'm not threatening anyone's place in the social hierarchy, things are easier and go more smoothly for the most part. For what it’s worth, I suspect this issue is a big part of the reason why ND people often say they get along better with the opposite sex. They aren't directly competing for status in the same way.

As well as that, trying too hard to fit in by masking excessively can sometimes backfire. If people don’t like me as I am, it’s unlikely that masking is going to suddenly win them over. Of course, do your best to be polite, respectful and considerate of others. Avoid saying things that are rude or inappropriate. However, I find if people don't accept me as I am, performing to win their approval isn't going to suddenly make them like or accept me.
