the social skills and making friends forum. Why is it here?

It's clear that no one here wants to make friends or their asperger's prevents it.

Looking at you fogman.

Some people do want to socialize and they come here for advice. I always have wanted friends I have had one or two in my life, and I need advice on how to socialize.

Maybe the OP means that socializing needs to be done out there, not on here. In any case, before you build a gazebo, you need to read the instruction manual.

Regardless of any help this section provides in actually improving social abilities, I find it's quite reassuring just to read that other people have similar problems. Plus reading how they tackled them can give some insight into improving your own difficulties.

because I'm pissed of at the dismissal of someone I was hoping could be a friend.

The Haven is the next forum up.

Sorry to hear about your potential friend.

If I came to The Haven and said 'Why does this forum exist, everyone knows aspies don't have emotions' I don't think it would be appreciated.

It's because I do want to have friends and I need tips on how to socialize.
