I can't say simple things like i miss you to anybody.It's hard for me to show interest an be into someone.I've always been single even though I'm told i'm really attractve and lots of girls have had crushes on me.Though i always hear i look stuckup or think i'm better then others. I've gotten better from not being socially awkward and have female friends now and i've liked one but nothing became of it. I felt something there but she was stuck on her ex and couldn't get close to anyone.I wasn't the only one who tried.
I've been told I give off a kinda i'm better then you aura because i don't talk to people i don't know and am hard to get to. This year though i've developed a close knit of friends i've been close to this year . I guess i've improved but I still haven't had a relationship. I'm not despserate enough to take anyone and personality and morals are a big part of what i like. Even though give off a stoic personality i just long for companionship and physical things. I'm really a loving guy even though i don't look like it and take care of people close to me.

How can i improve my social skills to talk to people i'm actually attracted to who aren't my friends.I've gotten alot better socially but not to the point I pursue women.

I'd personally like to be with someone more calm, reserved, and to themselves then someone that just throws all their emotions around everywhere and tries too hard - there's nothing more fake and annoying then people like that.

But it goods that you feel you're improving, don't rush anything and don't try too hard. It's your personality, you shouldn't have to force yourself to change anything about it. :)

Honestly, I'm most likely on the autism spectrum, and I have problems at both ends- showing emotions inappropriately (crying or laughing too easily/inappropriately) or not showing them at appropriate times/having difficulty dealing with the emotions of others.

It's not a bad thing, not all of us can be socially perfect, and charismatic, and wonderful. It just means that not everyone is going to like you or be able to relate to you, and frankly? You shouldn't have to care about that, it is not your problem that they feel this way, and it's not their problem that your emotions don't meet their standards. They don't own you.

Hope that made sense somehow.

Well I only share emotion with people I do trust and I can count them on my hands. But other than that if someone dies I rly just don't care :/

I probably wouldn't give two shits if half of my class died in front of me. Unless there are the few of my friends there. People said I'm calm, cold and emotionless, but sometimes funny and humorous. I just don't like and I suck at faking the whole emotional cares-about-everyone guy. Why be someone you dislike being?
