How do I learn the general expectations, boundaries, etc in a friendship?
Before I start, I DO ACKNOWLEDGE that the boundaries and expectations vary by people.
Regardless, I need a rough guideline to start with. I had a pretty isolating middle-high school experience, and I have no idea how to manage a friendship. I found that shows and movies are extremely unrealistic when it comes to this matter. I tried "just talking to other people" but I ended up hurting them because my expectations and theirs differed a lot, and I'd like to minimize that as much as I can.
