>>95952183i struggled a lot for the first 18 years of my life, because i genuinely never understood how socialization works, so i could never make meaningful friendships outside the internet. it was until i went to college and met the nicest dude ever who became my best friend that i simply "learned" socializing by mimicking him, and then just learned to accept what works and what doesn't when interacting with people at face value instead of trying to understand it, because i'm 99.9% sure i'm physically unable to.
