So I am now realizing, after having moved out of my parent's place, to a new country, that I don't exactly know how to socialize properly. I'd like to make friends and get dates in the new city I am in but I don't think I know how to talk to strangers. For the most part, I didn't know that was an option, when I think about speaking to someone in public, I feel like I'll be bothering them or I feel like there's other ways to get what I want than by talking to them, speaking to people I don't know just doesn't seem logical to me. I am on the spectrum but I mask fairly well (at least I think I do). I tried socializing through apps but I hate them because they reduce people to a bunch of labels and are really superficial. Some friends recommend I go out and meet people, chat people up at bars but that just seems like a very illogical thing to do. Am not worried about coming off as a creep, the plan I have now is just to ask someone if they're open to a conversation and if they're not no worries. I have no trouble having good conversations, people that know me compliment me on them, but I have no idea how to initate one with someone I don't know. What if am being a bother or being creepy or they're not really interested but just tolerating me (this last one bothers me the most).
