>>15267803 (OP)im not autistic and i can tell (You) that most normie friendships are deeply shallow, superficial and based only on wanting to climb the social hierarchy and keeping up appearances. unless it's somebody you've literally went to war with and known since childhood, real life friendships are nothing like the movies tell you they are. most conversations you'll have with people are banal, meaningless and feel more like a chore than anything. you'll be talking a lot, but you won't be saying anything (oh my talking headserino). it's all a game where you have to constantly be on the lookout and watch what you say and who you say what to and none of it is truly fun, especially when you get to the stage where most conversations are just reminiscing on the past.
<the only reason i ever pursued friendships, at least when i was in highschool, was because i thought it would give me a sense of connection that i couldn't have elsewhere and i thought having friends would be a good deterrent from being bullied. the latter was right, to a notable extent, but the former wasnt. in short: don't feel like you missed out on anything, because you didn't really. o algo
