    Why does nobody click with me

    I'm sorry, it often happens by accident for me. It's sometimes hard for me to know which details are important to mention and which are not. Good to learn about "lying by omission" though. I did not know this (intentional) action actually has an official name

    Why does nobody click with me

    I'm not trying to bounce it back, I really don't understand how neither the studying statement nor this message: Was vibe-killing.

    Why does nobody click with me

    I also don't understand how asking why studying is not a skill that can be useful "vibe-killing". It was for clarification

    Why does nobody click with me

    I did not want to make anyone who's trying to be helpful sad - I also did not intend to come off as closed. It might all be a result of being excluded all my life, now also possible trauma due to recently getting out of an abusive relationship. I do try to find professional help but it is almost...

    So with classmates, there won't be any more chances now?

    Why does nobody click with me

    How does studying not benefit others? Considering we are in college and people often study together

    Why does nobody click with me

    The issue is not even that I don't click with anyone. I try to make friends everywhere, talk to everyone, but everyone just tells me we do not click or that they do not vibe with me. And by everyone I mean literally EVERYONE. I had the same thing in elementary school, middle school, high school...

    Anyone else who can form surface level connections, but not deeper connections?

    What is the difference between the former and the latter? It sounds like you described close friends in both cases. Not being dismissive but I find it hard to tell differences between the levels :/

    Same here. I have been told "maybe you are more autistic than you think", "maybe your IQ/EQ is lower than you think". These are harmful and very black-and-white assumptions.

    Anyone else who can form surface level connections, but not deeper connections?

    By "deeper" I mean actually friends rather than acquaintances But that is what I am doing all the time. I also go to meet ups or events. But I end up ghosted by everyone I message afterwards, hence why I said that the most common advice does not work for me

    Anyone else who can form surface level connections, but not deeper connections?

    Aside from that, that most of the tips that you get for making deep connections don't ever work on you? I can make myself fit in with most groups, but it will never lead to any deeper connections. Even if I try to ask questions, even if I try to invite to do things. I still never manage take my...

    It is impossible for me to make friends

    I am scared we won't have things in common and that they will have other things to do

    It is impossible for me to make friends

    There are barely any support groups for autistic people of all genders. If there are, most people there are 30+ so we can't be friends
