I feel I've failed at almost everything

Roswell. Welcome to the club.  I have many of the problems you have but im a bit older than you.  I've never had a long term girlfriend either.  Would love one (meta and literally), never wanted kids though.  My career is utter shite, no scratch that, my life is utter shite, even now.  I have wasted 45 years of my life, doing the wrong thing at Uni, dropping out of society and being a criminal for 7 years (I cleaned up my life and started attempting to be a benefit to society when I got past hating myself and blaming the world), being on Incapacity benefit for nearly 11 years in my twenties.  i have not much social life outside of going to the gym.  I see loads of women there that i would love to talk to, maybe ask out, but have a massive mental block. 

Saying that a few years back a friend and I used to work out and I went through a phase of being blunt at the gym, which lead to many comedy moments, eg, a girl abnd her mother are on the treadmills next to me, I sneaked a look left and the girl says to me "do you think I look pretty" and I was a bit WTF, but I was in a bit of a mischievous mood, so I quipped back, "sure you are really hot, but your mother is hotter", and to be fair she was and she gave me her number too, but due to my own issues it never went anywhere, but it is something my gym friends occasionally speak of as a classic comedy moment.  The key to everything is to be bold (and mischievous).  Go at it with a "0 fks given" attitude.  Thats how the more popular people do it.  they ask everyone and play the statistics.  not that that may lead to a long term relationship, but any relationship is better than no relationship.

Social groups are great, but try and include autism groups or aspie groups.  It helps if the people around you are already going through what you are and understand.  For me many of the friends ive had through my life have more than likely been on the spectrum.  Some got tested and were, some never did and definitely are.  Avoid dating websites.  Avoid pubs unless you are prepared to do a blind approach on a person and pullout all the stops.  if you cant blind approach a person and engage in any form of conversation, you will come across as a loner or billy-no-mates and people will avoid you.  ignore family that put you down.  Dont waste your energy on them, use it on things that are positive.  I hate to say it, but they are likely intelllectually inferior to you and you are essentially trying to communicate information to an ant (bad analogy but you get the point).

So you havent achieved anything with your life.  You are 33.  Go back to college, retrain, do a course in somethoing , achieve something.  The only person stopping you, is you.  At present going to college is a bit of a no no due to current world events, but in a few months that might not be the case.  So for now, why not learn a language?  Duolingo is a good way to start down the path.  Spend 20-30 mins a day on it.  Once you have the basics down, move on to a proper learn the language course.  you will go in knowing all the common words like beer, bread, dog, cat, station, airport and it will be a lot easier to string the sentences together.
