I dunno if this'll help, but almost everyone you compare yourself to doesn't have all their shit together and are trying to figure things out too. Nobody's got a perfect life, some are just better at hiding it than others.
Also, see if you can sniff out some other neurodivergent people. My best friendships have come from neurodivergent people. Might be easier to navigate friendships that way.
That is what my therapist says. It's true, and it's rational way of looking at things.
But damn. When I think about living alone, and I see and hear so many people who live with their s/o or roommates, I don't care in how many other ways their life may be a dumpster fire. Some needs are just basic and common to practically everyone (even if they don't realize that). Just one example - my life has many... deficiencies.
I'm working on it. Tomorrow I meet a local trans woman who I might move in with as a roommate <3
