@ItsSheVee Had a friend who often complained about not having enough friends.
*Real* friends, not numbers on a page. People who 'get' him; 2 talk 2, connect, &hang out.
I advised that what both of us should do (since I'm not great at socializing either ^^;; ) is look for spaces where weird/neurodivergent/neuroatypical/awkward people are. Stop trying to fit in where we don't fit, and find the rare spaces where we do.
So now I'm here looking. Taking it slow, but. Taking my own advice ffs. :3
