Nobody starts out knowing what they’re doing.
You have to practice and suck for a while, living is all a process of trial and error. Don’t blame your lack of practice and skill on other people if you haven’t gone out of your comfort zone to learn.
You said women assume the worst when you approach them. Use that pattern recognition all humans have and run some tests instead of assuming all women will react the same way to you. Because they’re not reacting to you, they’re reacting to your behaviour.
Ask yourself why and try a few different things. You’re gonna fail, but you have to learn to move on from that to build your confidence.
If you want to build connection, you have to learn to be comfortable with vulnerability.
I’m autistic and am no stranger to misinterpreted signals. Just because I’m a woman doesn’t mean my social interactions are all fine and dandy. I flip between thinking everyone is crushing on me and everyone hates me, and this is a normal human experience that everybody goes through. You have to learn to let go of people sometimes and learn which interactions tend to lead to better connection, but you will get nowhere if you do not try, and you will get nowhere faster if you don’t try and you avoid social interactions because of an outcome you are assuming will happen.
I will reiterate. I am diagnosed autistic. I STILL do not know how to socialize as a normal person, and I have accepted that I never will. It is time you also accept you will never know what is normal, and figure out what works for you through trial and error and vulnerability.
Here’s hoping you find your confidence. Godspeed 🫡


What I’m hearing from you is that it’s not other people that aren’t giving you the time of day, it’s you that is not interested in other people.
That’s totally fine, to each their own, but I just don’t understand why one would complain on the internet that they’re not having successful interactions with women when they’re not really attempting to have interactions with women.
