How the %π$@!? do I make good friends when it feels like everyone around me are those cactuses that look super soft and cuddly but actually will stab you if approached (self.neurodivergence)

It just feels exhausting and hopeless lately and I'm afraid I'll just end up being lonely forever.

/vent over, thank you, carry on. Please don't absorb my upset into your own heart.

Right there with you. It would be so awesome to find friends who are equally earnest and dedicated. I’m a shirt-off-my-back kind of person face-to-face and it’s like mooches and cluster Bs can smell me a mile away. Might have something to do with cPTSD or being neurodivergent in my case.

My spouse reflects my efforts 110% so I truly have no business complaining, but it’s nice to dream.
