How do I keep a NT friend

[Gini]

How would I not say everything at once? I usually just end up adding more to what I plan to say or something. They are friends with the more socially acceptable version of me who always keeps to myself because I cant people well

How about this...Focus on listening. Ask questions about what she tells you. Then follow her lead..let her open up gradually and you reciprocate?

I'm not sure how to do things gradually its either all then or all later. But otherwise yeah

I usually don't tell my friends until I've known them for several years, unless I'm living with them, or they figure it out on their own.
I don't like the way many people change the way they treat me when I do tell them.
If I can't talk about my or their interests we don't remain friends - I and they find it's usually not worth the effort.

Remember to give them chances to tell you about things that interest them - ask questions about the topic even if you're not interested, it might change your mind.
