my mom is an autistic ipad adult and my dad is a shut in so all i really know about social life comes from the tv. im in college for an engineering degree so that takes up a lot of my time but i feel like everyone else has friend groups and they do stuff together outside of classes.
im great at talking to people and being friendly while we are in the same room but my phone is always dry. people seem to like me in person and if they dont then i go somewhere else, but everyone seems to be closer with eachother than me. i dont think i smell or am rude to anyone. theres a guy i see in a class every day as well as a club and we seem to be friendly but he wont even text me about our group project.
am i overthinking? or do i need to be more agressive? what does that look like. its hard to believe everyone else is having the same worries as me and i dont want to spend another summer at my desk.
