    I get what this is saying, but I also feel like you can work on yourself to make it easier to connect with others.

      Definitely, at least when it comes to most people.

      While everyone should do it in some capacity, working on yourself can only go so far if you struggle in social situations because of the symptoms of disorders like autism or ADHD. Sometimes the difficulty to connect stems not from a problem with what the person is doing or saying, but others’ perception of it.

      But of course, the types of people they’re surrounded by can affect things a lot, too, especially when there are differences in background, culture, or belief.
