I agree. Its crazy. I think all one can try is do their best. After nearly 40 years, all I can suggest is join groups of people that share your interests and maybe your struggles and be open when approached.
On the other hand, you can just exist and have a good time alone. If you cant do that, try and befriend yourself first because you camt get rid of them.
Thankfully there are spheres like this one though. There’s a comfort in meeting other neurodivergent minds.
We can all bask in each other’s hyperfixations 😉
