Bros. how do i increase my social gains? My mother said something that struck me today, she said that i'm about to turn 17 and i'm wasting one of the most fun parts of my life by staying on my computer all weekends. I'm not diagnosed but i do suspect i have at least some autism in me. It's weird i have like 3 "friends" i hang out with at school yet we never do anything outside of school, except for playing videogames.
i have made a "Starting social strength" program, where i have to have at least 3 conversations a day in which i have to talk at least 5 times, and they have to have meaning; no yeah's or cool's or anything like that, and it can be anybody like a cashier, stranger or family member, no friends.
How do you all deal with your autism, any books, you can recommend, infographics or anything?
Relax and bee yourself. Start saying yea to Social things and be open to hanging with new ppl.

I feel you man. My best friend left my school a few months ago, and it was devastating, because a week prior I broke up with my girlfriend of five months. Take small steps, try to make it random people. If they ask you how your day is going, start a conversation. Don’t be afraid to let it end either, don’t force conversation.

lmao your mom was probably a roastie and/or a gains goblin when she was younger.
Live the way you want to live, and don't let her project her insecurities on to you user.

It's takes an overhaul of your surroundings. I know it sounds like a pain but you need to pick up two activities to do in your free time, one that's outdoors and one that's social. Start testing some stuff out and see what sticks, this will help you develop better social skills. Start inviting people to do things, turning colleagues into friends is the real challenge, not getting to know people. Lastly, clean yourself up. People respect people who respect themselves. Make sure you hygiene, health, and fashion are up to standard
The biggest test for me to see if Im making social gains is if I can comfortably insult someone and expect them not to get offended. That's the sign of a real friend

This but so many guys on this board would be better off if their parents did this for real.

i don't get invitied to any, when i do (once every 3 weeks at best) i try to go, not to parties tho since i suspect i have autism and i just sit in a corner like a retard. (also degenerate and gain robbing behaviour)

Your mother already fucked up by saying that to you now that you are 17 instead of urging you to socialize when you were a kid, or in early adolescence. At the same time, at least she's realizing her mistakes. Now it's time for you to do something. She is totally right, but not necessarily because of the social part, but because, LISTEN TO ME IN THIS: VIDEOGAMES ARE SHIT AND USELESS, STOP PLAYING AND DO SOMETHING USEFUL WITH YOUR TIME. Learn to play an instrument, read, lift, do an sport, yes, socialize too, the sooner the better, do almost anything but playing videogames and watching shitty cartoons on your computer. This is coming from someone who is older than you and know what he's talking about. Videogames provide you with almost nothing of value compared with other hobbies. Stop playing and become a man, think of your future, of money, of the possibility of marrying when you're older, if you want to have sons, about anything great that you want to achieve. Don't let the years pass, don't waste your time. Listen to me faggot, I wont' repeat it again.
3 friends who you are close with is better than random conversations with people you barely know
its ok to be autistic man

Liar, you copied this completely original piece of art
get a job that literally requires you to be social. Perhaps work the register at KMart or something along those lines. After a few months you will be able to talk to anyone.

The only thing that matters in life OP is getting strong. Waste all your time drinking beer and partying all you want just so you can say 'i didn't waste my youth look at me', but you'll still be a weakling if you didn't lift during your formative years.

i was a cashier for three years and hated every day of it, never got better at talking to people. i think saying you're cured after a few months might set expectations a bit too high
