Advice for someone with autism struggling to make real lasting friendships?
Ive recently started university and have been struggling to make real friendships. I can’t seem to make it past the basic small talk phase and I feel like I end up boring whoever I’m trying to befriend, especially as I run out of topics to talk about. Even happens with friends I’ve known for years ;-;
In my current friend group I often end up being the odd one out, as I’m kinds terrible at making jokes on the fly and contributing to conversations without it being some uninteresting comment. Usually ends with me becoming somewhat isolated sadly which has been quite discouraging haha
I’m only managing to keep somewhat of an active part in the convo if I’m talking with someone else who’s socially awkward or we have something specific to discuss like a group project with set things to discuss
Any advice for this kind of situation? Always felt like I’ve had an extremely dry personality, but really wanna change that :(
