Do you want a companion of some sort?
If so, a mind hack that might work is imagining what a hypothetical companion might find attractive in a person. Then try and become that person. Do this by using your hypothetical companion as a filter on what you are doing. Don't beat yourself up about not doing what the hypothetical companion would find attractive, that isn't attractive!
Your hypothetical companion does not have to be neurotypical but should be someone you would want to be around.
We should be good at following on from these kinds of motivations as we have a long history of trying to get mates by adjusting behaviour.
I've sort of considered that, though not framed that way. It might be useful later, but not at my current level. Thanks.
