I’m 21F from Russia, autistic, and completely isolated. I have no one to ask for advice but the internet. Guys never approach me - how do I change this?
Relationship status / length: Single (never been in a relationship).
I apologize for using an AI translator. My English isn't very good, so I have to rely on it to express my thoughts.
I am a 21-year-old female (21F) from Russia. For as long as I can remember, guys have never paid attention to me. No one has ever approached me, tried to start a conversation, or asked for my number.To give you some context, I’m just an average-looking girl. I don't have any major flaws, and I'm at a healthy weight. I might not be a supermodel, but I really take care of myself. I work out regularly, dress stylishly, and put effort into my appearance.However, there is another important factor: I am autistic. Because of this, I get extremely anxious whenever I go outside. I am actively trying to push through this anxiety and force myself to go out and walk more often, but it doesn't seem to help much with making connections.Right now, I am completely lonely and isolated. I have absolutely no social circle - no friends, no classmates or coworkers I talk to, and my parents live in a different city. I am entirely on my own, and I have no one to ask for advice or talk to about this, which is why I am turning to the internet.I suspect my anxiety and autism might be affecting my body language (like avoiding eye contact or looking closed off), which probably makes me look completely unapproachable to guys.I am really interested in hearing from people who are popular with the opposite sex. If you are someone who naturally attracts people or had to learn how to do it: how did you achieve this? What changes did you make in your behavior, mindset, or energy? How can I start attracting attention or signaling that I am open to being approached, while also managing my social anxiety and having zero social circle? Any advice or personal stories would be greatly appreciated.
TL;DR: I’m a 21F from Russia with autism and no social circle. Guys never approach me, and I’m looking for advice on how to become more approachable and manage my social anxiety.
