As someone with this problem, I've always been conflicted at the notion of oneself not being able to make friends. I myself can relate to those words in a way, often drawing a blank at knowing what things to say in a conversation to keep it alive and this seems like it would make things underwhelming for most people. But on the other hand, knowing I myself have the power not to mind is like a reminder to me that there are no universal rules one must follow in friendship maintenance. Socialization is just a standard, and so are most of the things people typically expect out of others. I would imbue faith in the goal of finding these more easy people if it was easy, but I know it's not, though I can still offer myself and do offer myself. I'm very ubiquitous (there are many who know this well) if you ever want a lady friend to talk to, and it would make me feel good if I can help you build up. I'm sorry about your parental situation, I certainly cannot fully replace anyone's parents but hope I can be good for what's important. Also, I probably suck at math more than you.
