Wanting to socialise and talk to people but at the same time I don’t because I’m terrible at it and i just don’t know what to do or say

I have upset people I don’t mean to. The other day I was at church after some people had tea and coffee so I thought this would be a good time to try to make a conversation. So I looked around at the people, I noticed a woman who looked like she was pregnant so I thought oh I can talk to her. So I went over to her I said hello she said hello, I said when is your baby due, I said I haven’t had children. She replied I’m not pregnant. I said you look pregnant are you sure you’re not, your stomach looks like you’re carrying a baby. She said she had been Comfort  eating and she had put on weight. I said maybe you should go to the doctor make sure. She said she new she wasn’t then she walked away.

Then last week I went to the post office to post a letter I had no stamp. I saw there was a big Q and I don’t like waiting I felt very agitated after about a minute . Then this woman came in with her son,  he stood right next to me,  I said “get on your spot, you should be on that spot, I’m on my spot,  get on your spot,  that’s the rules, you’re not 2 m apart, you should be 2 m apart, that’s the rules”. His mum said “my son has autism, you could ask nicely. I said “I’ve got autism too”. She said “you still could ask nicely”. I said “I couldn’t think that quickly, how to say it. You should understand”. Then I walked off . I went to a shop counter and asked if they had any stamps they did. The shop keeper said how many stamps do you want? I said enough to post this card, she weighed it, said that will only need one stamp. I said, I will have one stamp then, she said we can give you 4 or 6, we don’t do 1. I said I only want one? She said you need to choose, a book of 4, or 6 stamps. I said I will have four then. Then I still had to post the card. I felt very agitated by all of this, it was a nightmare, I felt very unsettled and upset, I was glad to get home.

I would like to get better at communicating with people.
I remember being in the ladies changing room in a shop, a lady was trying on some trousers, she looked over towards me and said, “ do you think my bum looks big in these trousers? I said yes, your  bum looks really big. She tried some other ones on, she said what about these. I said no, your bum still looks big. She said that she wanted her bum to look smaller. I said “trousers can’t change the size of your bum, that’s impossible. if you want a smaller bum tell the doctor, that you want to get a smaller bum, he will be able to help you more than trousers can I’m sure. She didn’t buy the trousers. She didn’t seem to want to be friends even though I tried to help her. So I don’t know how to make good new friends.
