How can I learn to be more considerate to others?
All of my friends and social circles have been distancing themselves from me from the past few years. I can honestly say I only have 1 or 2 close friends left outside of family.
A few days ago a friend and I were drinking, and I ended up talking shit to him while playing some video games. Wasn't trying to be a dick or anything, just normal banter I thought. I knew he was going through some personal problems, so I guess it struck a nerve with him and he got up and left. Later he told me that I was being an asshole, even though I didn't mean anything personal by it. I've probably done this to a lot of friends before without realizing it.
Another case was about a month ago. A girl I was into had just gotten out of a relationship, and about a week later I asked her on a date. She said no, and later told mutual friends that she thought it was fucked up that I would ask her out right after a breakup because she was vulnerable or something.
At my job, a lot of my coworkers actively avoid me and think I'm rude. I always try to be courteous at work, but I don't really try to develop personal relationships with coworkers.
What can I do? It's hard for me to feel empathy for others, and I think for that reason, I'll probably end up dying alone or something
yeah i dont get this
people think I'm a dick for reasons unknown to me

>just dont think you are better than them
I think this might be part of the problem. I sort of have a superiority complex. I look down on people a lot.
>just become a leech
What do you mean by this?
