ADHD but yes. I manage a bit of chit chat if I see someone regularly but haven’t ever managed to turn that into a friendship as an adult.

Yes, it is difficult. I have two good friends now who took a long time to arrive in my life. I have another friendship I'd like to develop. Three lesser friends that I see from time to time so not regular though good to catch up with. I have made these friends through a common interest and we all have a ND. I have limited energy. I still hope to make more good friends that are reciprocal, I'm interested in deep connections and these seem few and far between.
