Am I too picky when it comes to socializing?

[Late-Cat48]

I've never had the best social skills and I'm not sure how much of that is the ADHD. I've avoided social situations in the past perhaps out of some fear. But now, when I really do want to get out and meet people more, I feel like I'm still avoiding some because I know I would get bored/annoyed with any small talk or conversations I don't care about. Socializing is supposed to be good for us but if you're more introverted or neurodivergent in some ways it feels like the wrong sort is worse than none at all. Am I maybe just making excuses though? Would any kind of Socializing be better than none?

Hi Late-Cat48,

I have the same problem, I’m not good at socializing. Also I’m too picky when I choose my friends. I don’t like to go out and I prefer the comfy of my home. Some people want to be my friends but I don’t because they are not the type of friends that I want in my life. I made some friends in the past but they got tired of me because sometimes I avoided them. They couldn’t understand that sometimes I just want to be alone. Now I don’t care anymore about friends and I’m happy talking to myself lol. I don’t know if it is healthy or not but I feel more comfortable this way
