>all my characters are variations of me
How do I fix this problem? I'm autistic so meeting people/making friends isn't an option.

don't worry, Kafka did that in literally all his works and they're great. Although it may depend what kind of person you are

Learn to use your imagination. Read more books, ones that aren't crap.

Make imaginary friends. Once they start disagreeing with you, then you start getting a character.

>As he is not officially part of my life I am fine with our simply spending our time hanging out... He spends hours talking about my friend. And he talks about his problems. He talks about his feelings and he may be part of a completely different world (I reason that writers should know about different worlds and all kinds of different people) but I find I empathize with him. I'm listening to his stories and I'm learning something about his world from his stories and I empathize with his feelings. I don't get at all his relationship with my girlfriend, I don't get his culture and his interests, but I empathize with his talking about his feelings.
