>>83407Now I only have friends from school and i haven't experienced other places enough to really have a good standpoint, but if you look into why school works you could maybe try to find similar places. The only reason why even a loser chud who isn't insanely extroverted is able to make friends in school is because :
- school is boring as shit
- you aren't allowed to just leave or go on your phone
- you are forced into close proximity with random people repeatedly
This combination means that people are desperate to do something more entertaining than school, have very limited choices in what to do, being daydreaming, talking to someone or maybe doodling, and cannot pick who they can talk to, they are stuck with the people around them. This means that out of boredom and lack of other choice people will talk to those around them at least a little bit. With a lot of classes, and seating plans changing, this conveyor belt of forced interaction means that eventually the vast majority of people, including the socially inept or those in niche interest groups, will find somebody to bond to or talk to.
The only place I can think of other than school that could be like this is work, except people are incentivised to actually do the main objective of the place because they are getting payed, people are mostly likely older than you by a noticeable amount and they have an excuse to ignore you by saying they need to get back to work
maybe hobby clubs could help, has to be something you are autistically interested in, this ensures you have at least one talking point with the people there, and by doing something together you have something to distract from awkward moments that isn't pulling out your phone
