I've given up on trying to "hang out" with peers.
I know what you mean, me too. :(
Story time. :D
So, just around a year ago was when I went from a normal high school to online school, in 10th grade. I did so without saying anything to my friends (and I use the term "friend" loosely here), except one, while chatting and walking home from school, that I might be leaving the school. Coincidentally, the day after I said that to him (he was the friend I had the longest, since 1st grade) I was being moved into online school, so didn't go into school. No one contacted me, even though many had my cellphone number. A few months later, in summer I think, a close friend of who I'd called my best friend texted me, asking me where I went (it took you that long to figure out?? He was annoying and a douche, so he wasn't really my friend anyways), and talked to me a bit. He texted me on occasion until December when my "best friend" found out that he had been texting me a bit, and got my number from him since he lost it, I assume in an attempt to rekindle our friendship. We hung out about 2 times, and had planned to again to on winter break. On the day when he was going to pick me up (he got a car since I last saw and talked to him, but I don't have one), he never texted me or anything, even though we just talked to night before. Now, 3 months later, I haven't heard from him at all. Kinda sucks to realize all the people you thought were your friends hate you... Sucks, doesn't it?
I guess it is partly my fault though, as when I hang out with someone I never know what to do; I'm so boring compared to their other friends. But really that isn't my fault, it's freaking Asperger's, and I don't know all that social crap. >_>
