Club/ Extracurricular Socialization

Post Reply New Topic

At school, I do an extracurricular/club (whatever you want to call it) and I would like of you socialize with these people on a normal basis.

For the one I do, the people in that club only talk to me when they need to and after that, they do not talk to me. They just ignore me like they usually do.

I facilitate an Aspergers support group at my HS but being the neurotypicals most of my HS are, they just ignore me BUT the club is going well with low membership.

I know how you feel. There really isn't any magic situation that you can get into where you will automatically make friends. Even in a club (where you would think the task would be easier). In my situation the problems stems from a different set of priorities. I tend to judge my compatibility with others on our common intelligence level, interests, and temperament. I'm lead to believe that other people tend to put more emphasis on looks, body language, and sociability. Failing their checklist is usually the end of the story. Rarely am I in a position to make the final judgement.

That's the part though, once the club is done for the year, they pretty much ignore me.
