I had problems throughout school where I thought I had a bunch of friends but I was just really bad at telling friends from acquaintances and I actually didn't really have friends.

I'm really worried that I'm in that position again. A lot of people only message me when they want something from me, and I don't get invited to do things with anyone. And people who do things and invite people I thought were friends but not me don't respond when *I* try to set something up and invite them.

@NovaSquirrel a lot of your friends are also neurodivergent and may not really talk unless talked to and may be wondering exactly all of this to themselves too. They haven't reached out to you for the same reason you haven't reached out to them. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself.
