28 and almost completely alone.

Hi. Dunno how to start this. I'm 28 and have maybe two friends, depending how we define it. As I've gotten older, I've found myself completely unable to connect to others. I notice others seem to think very different than me. Even other people who are open about being autistic, I appear to be different from them in some way. 

I find myself wanting friends but completely unable to make them. Even the thought of approaching someone to ask them if they want to do something etc. terrifies me. I'm always afraid someone will "notice" I'm not normal, that they'll "notice" I'm masking, or worse, trying not to mask.

Honestly, all I want is someone who I can be me with. I'm not looking for a relationship, just a trusting friendship and someone to play video games with and talk about hobbies. 

Any advice or anything anyone can give I would be appreciate.

    Hi all, I'm so glad to have so many people message me back! I am interested in games like Minecraft, FPS games, strategy games, etc. Outside of those, I like tabletop games like Warhammer and Pokemon TCG, MTG etc. 

    Sorry for the delay in response, I got a little anxious after posting.
