Hi! Im Anoushka. You can call me Anu or Ana or whatever is easiest for you. Im 18f and I'm here because I've always had a hard time making and keeping friendships especially now that I'm not in school anymore and I'm not seeing people every day. Im not sure exactly how this works but I'd like to get know some people with similar interests and problems, so please feel free to reach out and know that if I say something weird or rude- I probably didn't mean to, and if you bring it up w me I'll change it.

Potatopotahtoxxx, Welcome to Wrong Planet.

After reading your introduction, I didn't know if you were in the right place. So I dug a little deeper.

You have Asperger's Syndrome or Aspie for short. I have that condition. So yes, you are in the right place. So your information that you placed on the site was interesting. You wrote about your interest:

Reading, writing, art, learning, swimming, badminton, football, music,
random 4 hour YouTube video essays about topics I'd previously never heard of,
procrastinating( more of a passion really), doom scrolling,
human behavior and interpersonal communication because I cannot for the life of me grasp it.
I think I missed a class or something?

O.K. back to your introduction. You are not broken, you are just different. So believe in yourself and your hidden capabilities.

You wrote, "I'm not in school anymore and I'm not seeing people every day." It seems that you are lonely and want friends.

O.K. There are many people that are similar to us. We all have our differences. Many of us stay at home, buried away from society. But we are there. So you mentioned some of your hobbies. You wrote that you like "swimming, badminton, football, music". These are good hobbies, these are the ropes that can be used to find new friends and sometimes you will meet people like yourself and they will become your forever real friends.

Welcome to WP! I hope you decide it is a good place to keep visiting.

And, I encourage you to explore WP. You might find an area intended for folk with interests similar to yours.

Or, at least, you might find some pleasant ways to "waste" a little bit of time. (I don't think it is really a waste if it makes you happier, though!)
