That’s a book I just tossed out the window.
I’d have better luck reading some enigmatic scroll by Donald Knuth or the battered remains of a Sumerian clay tablet before I understand neurotypical social nuance…
Obsessing over clay tablets seems like a very Autistic thing to do

I have more or less given up even hoping for friendship. It seems so astronomically unobtainable for me
Honestly I would forget everything anyone has ever taught you.
Just be yourself and treat others with dignity and respect. What I've found is that you will slowly run into people you get along with. When it happens keep in contact with them.
Also don't be fooled by people telling you that you need to have a big social life. You can spend as much time alone as you want.
You see the problem is I am myself. I appreciate your gesture of kindness but It simply doesn't apply to me. I have always been true to myself as much as i can be. But my family doesn't understand me, people who i thought were friends turn their backs on me over stupid mis(or lack of on their part)communication more than once. The same not fitting in misunderstanding inability to socialize right BS has lost me several jobs and the rest I quit because I don't enjoy being fucked with. I am constantly tormented by life so i have more or less given up any hope for anything to come of my life than to drag on in suffering and silence
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 😉
