How do you make friends? (endlesstalk.org)

I have mid-high ADD and small talks just make my brain jump off all the time and get bored, and then if i continue talking i have no idea what to say, just change topic all the time.

I do like being in a community, but its hard to find people that wanna do the same as you. But is it easier to make friends with similar diagnose? I can join adhd groups, but no idea how much i will get out from it?

Any tips? Thank you!

Nowadays, I only talk more frequently to a handful of people I found through such niches, but some of those, I've been talking for some 10 years now. So I'd say yes, I think so.
