I realize the only socially accepted way of thinking romantically these days is to be meeting new people over & over; I live with what seems to be enough ASD troubles to more or less always prevent me from doing so. I always have. Thusly I've just been ashamedly avoiding talking about my (nonexistent) love life for at least a year lately. I think that just makes everyone uncomfortable anyway. I'm really tired of unwritten rules & other people's expectations getting in the way.

I feel like I'm somehow asking too much just by contacting some friends in the first place. It's like I strictly just know all the wrong ways to start a conversation. In a perfect world as far as I can see, I would just be a bit closer to loved ones every day. I'm afraid it's usually the opposite happening.

the people you make uncomfortable are not worth your time.
Is anyone comfortable talking about anything in the context of ASD anyway?

I have some really good friends & some really bad anxiety.

For all I know maybe it's more just a hangup on my part.

I got to wish my best female friend happy new year. 
I don't see her much & we both work a lot too, I'm thankful she's in my life to say the least though.
@auntblabby: I'm unsure of my factory warranty terms.
