Making friends for spectrumites

Post Reply New Topic

it seems that a book on how to make friends for the general public would not completely apply to me.
a big problem is what if you are not interested in what the other person is saying.
I've been joining some groups that suit my interests on meetup.com.
hopefully that helps.

how do you all make friends?

I don't know about making 'friends'. I have found that most people don't expect you to be interested in everything & you may be able to say so. Do make some effort to take some interest, if you can - if you want others to do so with you. Or you might be able to not really pay too much attention to it - all depends what works for you! I can usually get away with saying, fairly quickly, if somebody's into football that I'm not & they don't, usually, mind.
Otherwise, try to find a conversation you have some interest in but don't jump straight in & do let others make their points, too! No really clever tricks & you've probably heard it all before!
