So i recently got into game dvelopment, and was looking onto things i need, i have a computer, goals, but no friends to help me. I do not want to "hire" someoen or make them "work for me", because it lacks the sense of connection i need, and, speaking from experience, framing something as "work" makes you more likely to not do it. I need a crystal ball i can consult, a person i can spitball ideas with, and they can spitball ideas back.
​
Ive asked for advice on discord servers and all the advice boiled down to "go to large gatherings in real life", which i cant because i live in the middle if nowhere and i do not have a car.
​
This leaves me only with discord as a way to make friends, which is not going quite well. Whenever i join a new server and try to talk i get ivershadowed by other people. Even if i wait 5 minutes before posting my message i still get ignored. I tried doing what neurotypical people do, and instead of daying "i want x" i drop hints of wanting x, in this case, i dropped hints that i have no friends and that i wnat some, but nobody has picked up on it.
​
How can i improve my behavior or make myself more capable of making friends? Any and all feedback will be appreciated #relationships source
