18M - looking for a longterm friendship that progresses fast

Please read my post before reaching out. I have had some people reach out before and they had no idea what my post was even about. I understand that my post is long; that’s because I explained my personality so you can understand me before talking to me and not say things like “we can try to be friends.” I took the time to explain my personality so people can be sure if they will actually be friends with me or not before even reaching out.

I’m very serious about making friends. I want to VC daily; I think it’s overall much more effective than texting. VC is important to me. I don’t ghost, and I hate ghosting. I get easily attached to people so it hurts when I get ghosted, and it’s usually for the dumbest reasons, so it’s very frustrating. Even if it’s not for a dumb reason, I still think that it’s morally wrong to ghost me. I can’t be held responsible for anything that I say because I have zero social skills, but at least I’m honest, right? Basically, what I'm asking for is to say whatever is on my mind without the fear of getting ghosted. It’s completely normal for arguments to happen in a friendship, and I will offend you because people get offended so easily nowadays. I’m asking for people to focus on what I’m saying instead of worrying about how it sounds or how it makes them feel. Nowadays, the most common response people have when they feel offended is to just ghost, which I think is very childish. I’m asking for people to use their brains, think about what’s actually being said, and stop feeling offended.

Some of my interests are:

• Comics: I only read DC comics.

• Movies / Shows / Anime: Watching movies is my favorite thing to do. I love all genres except for sitcoms, war, western, documentary, true crime, and found footage. In anime, I mostly watch romance.

• Wrestling

• Video Games: 3rd-person single-player AAA games and fighting games. I’m on last gen, so I don't know much about the newer games.

I’m genuine, understanding, and thoughtful. I think I have a lot to offer, but just to be clear: I’m not here to entertain anyone. I’m not interested in talking to people who are bored. And I’m not interested in being used for emotional support. I don’t care about your relationship problems.

Like I mentioned before, I hate putting in a lot of time and effort into building a friendship just to get ghosted. People need to stop being so sensitive and immature. I hate how easy it is for people to just leave me after a minor argument; it’s so stupid to me. I'm sorry if I talk a lot about ghosting, but people need to understand that this is not okay. It’s a heinous thing to do.

I should probably mention that I’m:

• Emotionally heavy: I’m not looking for a casual friendship.

• Desperate: I don’t have a lot of time and my future is uncertain. This also means that I want a friendship that can progress fast.

• Needy but not clingy: Just because I don’t text you 24/7 doesn’t mean that I don’t care. I hate when people assume that I’m not interested in talking. If you have anything to say, then please tell me directly. I can’t read minds.

• Insecure: I have zero self-confidence and I’m insecure about literally everything.

• Self-pitying: It’s bad. I genuinely believe that God hates me.

• Deeply lonely and isolated.

• Can be overly serious sometimes: I’m not really a fun person, sorry about that. I can’t help that I’m severely depressed, so sorry if I don’t joke, understand jokes, use emojis, send memes, or keep up with TikTok trends. I wish I was fun, but I don't know how.

I don’t know how important this is, but I lack empathy. So I just need someone who’s willing to be my friend and accept me. I want someone who won't ghost me for any reason. I never did anything to deserve getting ghosted or blocked. Sure, I can say the wrong thing, but blocking is definitely an overreaction and makes you a bad person.

I want someone who’s rational. Anyway, you probably think that I’m asking for a lot, but I’m really not. I also have social anxiety, depression, and autism.

I want honest people; I really mean that. People think that there is a difference between honesty and cruelty, but there really isn't. People would see that if they just kept their feelings aside and stopped getting offended. Anyways, please have decent English; I’m really not asking for much. Please be 18+
