Hi !!!
I'm currently seventeen, at the current time I do have a girlfriend that loves me, some friends, a decent family, etc.
But I can't seem to get attached to them, like, I don't really care about my gf, even though I actually wanted a gf for a really long time. I don't really care about my others relatives too, my gf being the best example i could give tho.
Because of that, I can't seem to make friends, all my friends being childhood friends.

Idk, I'm diagnosed high potential intellectual and autistic, maybe that would be the problem ? But I don't think I had this problem when I was younger.
I also have a very strong ego, maybe that would also be the problem ?
I'm so stuck with this, idk what to do, I speak to a lot of people in hope i would get like attached and interested, but it doesn't work :'(

Thanks you for reading though !

>>1 I've had the same issues before. Shrooms helped a little bit with my empathy and opening up, but I would only say it was minor in the long run. Don't do this xD

Part of this is also your age I think. I think a lot of middle, highschool kids especially tend to have big egos and think very highly of themselves. Not a knock on you, but it comes with the territory of being younger and feeling like the center of the world haha (my experience, anyways).

What <i>really</i> helps open me up to <i>truly</i> caring for others, as well as crushing my ego, is prayer, Church attendance, fasting, and spiritual reading, especially reading about the lives of the saints.

Try attending an Orthodox Church and look into the mindset a bit. It's been one of the only things to truly begin to humble me. Very enriching experience! Also a great way to begin to build connections. Many Churches have a "Coffee Hour" with food that you can stay after and eat. Good opportunity to get out of your comfort zone and approach people to sit by them :)

Chiao~!
