How do you make friends when your mental struggles and pain and trauma keeps making it harder?

[WilliamPamer446]

I have autism and ADHD, but thats not the big reason for my mental struggles, I think its my OCD depression anxiety and others I won't disclose but the ones I won't disclose are the ones that make it harder. And its other people that hurt me and the patterns I see in people that trigger the mental struggles.

Like I hate hypocrisy and uptightness.

Any advice

I think I’m on spectrum aswell, I find it difficult to make friends or keep friends, and I’ve never been the type to betray or do people dirty I’m just too socially awkward that I stop talking to people randomly and then become too shy to talk to them again if it’s been a long time

I’m sorry I can’t, I have a boyfriend, therefore I can’t talk to men, I can only share my opinions in questions though, please, don’t take it offensive I’m not trying to be mean I just have to respect some boundaries.

69% of high-functioning autistic teens want relationships, but almost none are successful.

why is that

that was a negative help

i asked how can I do it, but the statistics.

obviously those 69% tried something and it didn't work.

now we gotta make new ideas for how it to work.

What Im looking for is good casual environments which would be friendly to me and good social strategies.

it was neurotypical ignorance that probably ended most of them. considering what autistic people actually do in relationship and how humble they can actually be.

[misogynistic_pig]

44.6% of high-functioning adult autistic men remain virgins, despite a high sexual/relationship drive.

The lower sexual success of autistic men compared to women may be because autism reduces an individual's capacity for emotional interaction, but normal men crave emotional interaction less than normal women, so this will disproportionately affect an autistic man's attempts to find a relationship versus a partner. autistic woman

Bro really. You're not answering my question and its starting to piss me off I was trying to be patient. My question was I want you to help me specifically make friends. Not tell me the statistics on how my group is going with social and relationships. I already know that the statistics aren't good enough and we gotta keep trying.
