How can I get better at holding conversations? My inability to prevents me from making friends or talking to women I like and creates many awkward situations. I am autistic so that doesn’t help. Am I just cooked?

I suggest looking into getting a therapist who can help you work on your social skills, they’ll give you better guidance than anyone else since we don’t know how you talk or act around other people. It also helps to listen in on the conversations around you to get a feel for what kinds of things people like to talk about, and what’s appropriate to say

I went to therapy a while ago but I never liked it. But maybe I just gotta force myself to do it. Sometimes I hear people conversing but I feel like all I learn from them is that I couldn’t hold a conversation like that

Sometimes it takes a while to find a therapist that works well with you (speaking from experience). What’s making you think you’re incapable of doing that? Besides not knowing how to do it at the moment

Why is that? Like what specific things do you feel are holding you back
