How do you talk to people? (lemmygrad.ml)

I'm a neurodivergent, asocial person. Always have been. Though i still have had a few friends during my life. I managed to get by for a while with just the 2-3 people I talk to, but recently I've started to get really lonely. The way i've made friends in the past has been someone approaching me, not the other way around though. I don't know how to make friends/acquaintances with other people on my own. Me growing up with the internet probably played a role in my lack of real life social skills, i'm guessing

preferably without spreading covid or a novel bird flu mutation

the sorts of people attending group things are unlikely to be comrades, idk what all this 2019-ass advice is.

Ok so do you have any suggestions or did you just want to make the OP feel bad?

Is this to say that there is absolutely no responsible way to attend any sort of group event, therefore anyone who does so is being uncomradely; or is this to say that there is not much point in being friends with anyone who isn't already a communist, therefore one should avoid spaces which will be dominated by non-communists; or is this to say both or neither?

Edit: I see the COVID comm has some resources in the sidebar. I will read covid.tips now and resign myself to whichever punishment is befitting for not taking the spread of disease seriously enough. I should've already looked through these resources a long time ago.

Edit 2: covid.tips doesn't really say anything about avoiding group activities altogether, at least not the types of activities I'm personally encouraging. There are still some precautions mentioned in covid.tips or the other resources covid.tips links to, that the activities I myself go to should implement as policy, or which I should get better at myself. I will make sure these improvements will be made.
