How do you make friends? (endlesstalk.org)

I have mid-high ADD and small talks just make my brain jump off all the time and get bored, and then if i continue talking i have no idea what to say, just change topic all the time.

I do like being in a community, but its hard to find people that wanna do the same as you. But is it easier to make friends with similar diagnose? I can join adhd groups, but no idea how much i will get out from it?

Any tips? Thank you!

I found that online games that force communication and cooperation are a great way to practice talking to new people. PULSAR: Lost Colony, Void Crew, and Jump Space are where I've made most of my friends.

The downside is that most of your friends will live in different countries. The upside is that the practice really does help, and you get to meet people in a low pressure environment where you can leave whenever you want.

yee, i joined esport teams, and forced me to talk with others, had no issue, but maybe my selfesteem is so bad, that i dont want anyone to be freinds with me.
