As someone who has an easy time making friends(currently juggling like 5), it's really not hard to make them. Basically, introduce yourself to someone, have a conversation with them, add them on social media, I usually go for snapchat, and then wait. Sometimes, they'll hit u up first, that's a sign that they want to hang out or you can hit them up first. This also applies to dating.

That’s sweet anon it’s ok. Don’t go up and ask to be someone’s friend. It’ll most likely freak them out. Maybe you could compliment someone’s shirt or gear and make some small talk. From there you hang out with them a bit at the convention. If here’s a cafeteria/food like area, you could always find someone eating by themselves and asking if the seat by them is taken, and you can talk from there. Be proud of yourself for going out there and trying. Also, don’t be upset if people say no or don’t want to hang out afterwards. That’s just life. Good luck anon. I believe in you.

Yeah but that falls under the "fake friend".
What if someone just genuinely asked to be friends just because he might like what you do or whatever?
Rejecting a person just based on paranoia doesn't seem humane to me.
And if the person has the autism, shouldn't you just try to make their existence a little easier?

If you take the right approach, you can make friends with someone. Again, you don't directly ask someone who never met you before to be their friend. Take a different approach

There's an oldern day saying, "you can't con an honest john," and it means that if there's no desire or guile on your part to ply, you can't be taken advantage of. No one can get over on you what you don't freely give them. And the flip side is you might be wrecking something genuine that's just awkwardly trying to find common ground to build off of, or show appreciation. And that sucks. Especially in the competitive art world where it's a relative rarity. I've had it happen and that cynicism is just an automatic death sentence to anything personal. But I guess if it's just business, this all doesn't apply.

Not an argument. The cashier is getting paid to do a specific task. It's a choice to be polite and nice to the customers but it also shows the discipline and values of that person.

Because these artists are technically sales person trying to sell their merch. The least they need to do is be polite and nice to a potential customer. What's confusing about that.

I'm not that guy, though maybe as awkward and outgoing in different ways.

And people may take what they are able to, but it's an endless well on this side, while what they accomplish is trivial.

There are some religions who have a belief that has pretty cool knock on effects if you think about it. The belief amounts to, if someone has a want or need, you oblige it at cost to you. Because the cost to you is null. And the effects of the humility of allowing for human nature far outweigh any loss.

Corrupt, selfish, and one sided? Doesn't matter in the end, there's only one way to solve it- and it starts, and maybe ends, with doing so internally first.

i understand where you're coming from; i'm not saying "don't be nice to anyone ever" (being polite is good!) but "you can't expect someone who you don't know to be your friend right off the bat".
however i don't think the cost is null. time is valuable, and wasting it on a conversation you know isn't going to go anywhere feels like pulling teeth. also, first impressions are very important, so when you go up to someone and say "h-hey :) can we be friends?" you've gone and wasted your chance to have a normal conversation with them--you look clingy and weak and alarms go off in their head as they think "hmm this person is a weirdo who can't make friends the normal way".
i guess what you're saying is that one should listen to people who do that and just be the bigger person, but you have to remember that everyone has their own problems they have to deal with and expecting people to drop everything and entertain someone they aren't obligated to care about in the first place is silly. part of empathy, and being a good person, is understanding and respecting that.

You can only estimate this, and in so doing only simply prejudice yourself. Appearances do not matter, the most wretched clusterfuck could turn out to enrich your life more than you could imagine.
>first impressions are very important, so when you go up to someone and say "h-hey :) can we be friends?" you've gone and wasted your chance to have a normal conversation with them
Image is unimportant, again, trivial, shallow. Else places like here wouldn't be devoted to trying to get people to change their own image. But THAT is the wasted effort involved here, much more than what amounts to appeasing prejudices.
>everyone has their own problems they have to deal with and expecting people to drop everything and entertain someone they aren't obligated to care about in the first place is silly. part of empathy, and being a good person, is understanding and respecting that.
It's nonsense if you consider the well of self sacrifice boundless. Only physical limitations exist, and much of the time they can be countered or at least partially alleviated especially with other people's help. An attitude at the outset of expecting anything else is selfish. Expect the best, always. If I cared about you(which I do) I would tell you to do so, carefully, modestly, for yourself. And I would also tell you to treat absolutely everyone else the same.
Done the right way, no one is taking your time- or anything else. They at worst share in it with you. And should be of the mindset to help if anything.
It goes far beyond being the bigger man, it's realizing that all the problems, concerns, fears, even to the worst extremes are hugely self correcting when pretense is dropped.

But I am that stupid ass who would go out of my way just for the sake of making a stupidly awesome gesture. It's very sad few people are accepting of even modest gestures. That is selfishness to me- deprives both parties and all observers.

Your strawman isn't far off in reality. Having the open attitude towards the possibilities is far better than the alternative despair which so many people wallow in.

But besides that, how cool would it be if your pick up line was " Hey, so uh, ya wanna get married?" and it actually worked?

Never underestimate the complexity people are capable of, or that may be hidden, especially from your own eyes. And it doesn't take away from the end result if you create common ground through being open. Some people may really come to find value in your perspective. To overlook this potential is a real waste.
But in any case, the only real answer is to celebrate what you've got- no matter what. Literally. Throw a party.

>> No.3972197

>>3972173
Yeah, you could avoid danger, being physically or emotionally hurt.

Or you could be open to the negative possibilities too, and use precautions.

It's okay to be afraid anon, overcoming that is called courage. But don't exercise the wrong philosophy ignorantly believing your self limitations are also the hard limits of understanding.

Not cool. I want to know a person before I want to marry or befriend them; I want to make sure they are worthy of my time, attention, favours. Which is the simple point that seems to be too far beyond the capabilities of the feeble, seriously ill mind of at least one person on this thread.
Maybe it'd be cool for losers who normally repel people with their awkwardness, obnoxiousness, weirdness to be able to trap people into a relationship before others find out how annoying they are.

No, it's reduction fallacy.

Of course you want to know someone you autist, the conversation isn't two lines, "let's get married" and "I do."

Your argument boils down to being fatalistic to a very finely honed and intricate degree. As such you may argue in favor of the pragmatism therein, but I challenge that notion as wrong. And it's more than superficially wrong, it's wrong to a tragic degree. But it's something you will not see until you can truly let go. Try it. Not for my sake but for yours.

Everyone is a stranger to a degree, and yes, some people vastly prefer erring on the side of goodwill, cautious or not.

Do you honestly wish to make it more foolhardy to let people into your home? Because that is the effect of your insular, misanthropic perspective.
Yes, invite an insane crazy to dinner, and yes carry a gun doing so if need be.

But in every case, do not focus on the negative; it's a trap.
