I don't know how to connect with people socially so I stay isolated
Listen I need help. I want to make more friends sometimes. I have 2 people that I know but they are disabled neighbors, they are nice though. I have asperger syndrome and depression. I get anxiety trying to communicate with people, it get so uncomfortable that I just give up social events and isolate the past 2 or 3 years of life. I sit home every single weekend since then because I don't know what to do otherwise :(
I interrupt in convos because not sure when it is my turn to talk, take things too literally and 'miss' jokes and sarcasm that happen during the convos. Also I have a bad temper; I don't understand people constantly saying "humans basic needs are sex and affection." Apparently not. I am a 31 yr. Old virgin who never had a date. So they say: "Make friends at outdoor activities or classes" or "You need to be more outgoing." OK ! I don't get invited to anything and I don't know HOW to change my attitude and "look" appealing to potential friends or men. Men just ignore me like I am invisible and maybe I am or may as well be at this point.
What are some ways I can learn be comfortable around people and or ways to be more accepting of the fact I will not likely find a mate because of my mental and social restrictions? I just want to be happy like everyone else and not commit suicide, seems there's no other way around that though. Thank you.
