I dunno what to say other than me too.
I think you're pretty cool, for what it's worth.

you've always been cooler you're a very likeable person
You're both very likeable 
Same here and every attempt to connect with other people leaves me hurt. I have friends but we're not that close and I've only been in two relationships that both ended due to communication breakdown—and both those people were also ND! I just have the bad autism that makes people hate you or something.
Yes the bad autism that makes me feel lonely among my own people. An outcast among outcasts I am not anyone's special person. What did I do wrong? I just want to be nice to people
you have to keep being yourself and pursuing your interests and hobbies genuinely, it's that plus luck. i used to be really lonely and isolated and i tried to change to be more normal, and then i found the right people and have so much regret over trying to iron out the weird parts. nobody in the world gets you, until someone does. go on the internet and talk about what interests you, if you're nice to people that's basically all you need
Everyone has waaaay too much h going on to give a shit if youre being weird, and if anything they're happy to see someone is out there doing it.
Basically how I feel hanging out with a bunch of creatives. I don’t understand why you think bauhaus dance movement is important, why you are typing out cringe worthy poetry on a typewriter to read as spoken word, how half assedly making a gaming cabinet will enhance a rave (in the end I had to build that one as everyone else was too zonked), why you are so excited by finding dead rodents and birds to use for furniture or how you think weaving moss is an important statement, but whatever you go do your thing. Happy someone is out there doing it.
they suddenly care a lot if you try to talk to them, if you can even find an appropriate venue to do so.
I'm sitting here wondering why it is so many others feel this way, because I'm right there with you. I never know what I'm doing wrong but for some reason everyone treats me like a nuisance or like I'm evil when I just want to spread love and see people filled with joy. Hugs to you, stranger, sorry things are so heavy.
If you don't fit into the employed, healthy, 2.4 kids mould, people think you're trash. No-one even talks to me any more since I became disabled and unemployed.
Maybe it really is just horrible punching down on others by the majority. It's hard not to get all doomer about it. Shit really isn't okay for too many people and for no sensible reason. For what it's worth, I don't think you or anyone else deserves such awful treatment just for existing and surviving. We shouldn't have to struggle or be forced into isolation to such extremes. I'm kinda rambling, sorry. This varied suffering feels so forced and deliberately cruel.
Thank you. People really do punch down a lot. I get the impression most people choose to believe that if they work hard, this (disability, unemployment, poverty, etc) can never happen to them, as a kind of defence mechanism because deep down they're worried it might happen to them. But this of course means that people who do suffer these things deserve them, because they didn't try hard enough. So they treat less fortunate people badly. It's the same way they choose to believe that there is so much help out there, like benefits being easy to obtain and food banks being easy to access, when the reality is very different. Poor people have it easy, you can get anything you need for free, right? They choose to believe this because they want to have a good opinion of themselves and if they admitted that they choose to keep voting for parties who are hard on the poor (slashing benefits, closing down food banks etc) they'd have to admit that they're a selfish person who doesn't care about others.
real that's why you're my doppelganger.
