I have never driven a car. I have never went to camping. I have never went on a trip. I have never went beyond middle school. I have never went to prom. I have never had real friends after reaching teenage. I had never had a girlfriend. I never had sex. I have never lived by my own. I have never travelled alone. I have never been in a concert. I haven’t felt genuine happiness since I’ve became a teenager.

So, what are yours? I won’t judge you.

    My parents divorced, moving in with my grandparents, never learned how to make friends, failing at math, going from home to school and nothing else.

      As someone with this problem, I’ve always been conflicted at the notion of oneself not being able to make friends. I myself can relate to those words in a way, often drawing a blank at knowing what things to say in a conversation to keep it alive and this seems like it would make things underwhelming for most people. But on the other hand, knowing I myself have the power not to mind is like a reminder to me that there are no universal rules one must follow in friendship maintenance. Socialization is just a standard, and so are most of the things people typically expect out of others. I would imbue faith in the goal of finding these more easy people if it was easy, but I know it’s not, though I can still offer myself and do offer myself. I’m very ubiquitous (there are many who know this well) if you ever want a lady friend to talk to, and it would make me feel good if I can help you build up. I’m sorry about your parental situation, I certainly cannot fully replace anyone’s parents but hope I can be good for what’s important. Also, I probably suck at math more than you.
