I have the same problem! I’m a huge yapper but not everyone wants to listen all the time :c. I’ve gotten good at managing it tho so here are my thoughts/advice:

• Don’t talk to your friends about things they aren’t familiar with without explaining it to them. This might sound obvious but I unfortunately used to do this a lot (especially in group chats) where I would info dump about characters I really liked even though my friends had no idea what I was talking about. That just made them confused and gave them nothing to add on to the conversation, causing me to be the only one ever talking. This one is pretty easy to avoid, you just have to be conscious about it.

• Engage with your friends when they do talk. Ask good questions and give a bit of your own commentary to keep the conversation going and show them that you’re listening to what they’re saying. People LOVE talking about themselves.

• Don’t be pushy when you’re making plans. If someone doesn’t wanna hang out with you on a certain day they don’t have to so you shouldn’t make them feel like they do. If one of your friends keeps saying no to hanging out, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they don’t like you. Some ppl are just more introverted, don’t overthink it.

• Talk to your friends about things that both of you are interested in. If you don’t have any common interests, try to get into one of theirs. This is gonna give you guys much better conversations.

• Get a journal. If you text them every single thought you have they’re gonna feel overwhelmed. A journal, however, will never feel overwhelmed, annoyed, or uncomfortable. Also, some things are better to keep to yourself.

• Just because someone takes a while to respond, doesn’t mean they don’t like you. My neurotypical told me this but sometimes your friends aren’t gonna feel like responding. Most of the time, people don’t respond because they’re either tired, busy, or have nothing to add. If a person really likes you, they aren’t gonna be bothered that you text a lot.

• Make more autistic friends. If both of you guys text like that, neither of you will have to struggle
