It seems like antisocial (not asocial, antisocial!) people often want to be my friend or girlfriend. I usually figure out what's wrong with them, and ultimately distance myself, if there isn't some ugly falling-out early on.
This leaves me alone, wondering why I'm so fucked up that normal people smile and chat with me, but never form any sort of bond. I could get in a fucked up relationship with a sicky who wants me around most of the time, who wants to be "bffs" or even get married, but I can't take a normal person out for coffee.
Maybe I just don't know how to interact with people who are socially functioning. I'm gonna make more money to perhaps buy concert tickets and do other activities...but part of me is afraid that a functioning person will never care for me.
Advice? Feedback? Relate?
You have to put in effort too. People aren't going to bend over backwards for you. If someone spends time with you and you like that person's company, you have to ask them to hang out as well.
What do you mean when you say you can't take a normal person out for coffee?

You're right. Nobody is gonna break down the door and sex me.
>What do you mean you can't take a normal person out for coffee?
It's just that the people I can relate to most are all misbehaved wrecks, many of whom don't even believe in finding peace. I felt like a grey sheep when I was a kid, but definitely like a black sheep now...after all of the coming-of-age insanity.

If you want to spend time with "someone normal", there must be something appealing about that person that makes you want to hang with them. I think things will be better if you just adopt a more carefree attitude.

Maybe you're right there too. I've been sorting financial things out...finally moving on to a school/work focus. Making friends is supposed to be lighter and more carefree. Maybe I just need to loosten up and socialize better, like it's no big deal or something.

That's it m8. I was in the same mindset as you but now I'm more carefree and chill on the outside and I've made friends and have had a great time. Leave all the deep thoughts for sleepless nights.
