Making friends as an adult can be a trying experience, particularly when you compare it to middle school where similar sneakers might have been enough. At the same time, as an adult, one often has enough experience to realize that people without friends might be that way for a reason.

A man went online to share his experience with trying to make friends with a guy at work who no one talked to. Then, conversation by conversation, he started to understand why this guy was the way he was. Netizens shared their condolences and a few also shared their similar experiences with men like this.

    The idea of being an a hole attributed to being on the spectrum rubs me the wrong way. Theres taking over a conversation, that part makes sense. But he loses me at "I don't care." Thats not autism thats just douchery

    It's really hard to tell, though. Being neurodivergent is such a broad, well, spectrum that the signs can be difficult to identify. His particular presentation could include being blunt or rude with people. OP mentioned at the start that no one talked to the guy, and we assume that's because of his obsessive nature—how he won't leave people alone and talks so much about his interests—but maybe it's also because he frequently makes comments that people consider rude and doesn't realise how to correct it. Or maybe he's just being rude. In any case, I don't think we have enough information to say "That's not autism, that's just douchery."

    I can and have openly admitted and warned people that mouth goes like a ducks a$$, lol. I try to be aware of it and curb it but I'm fallible.

    This guy is literally the last 4 dates I had on Hinge; just talked about themselves nonstop. Why I don't date any more.
