Get a job, spend 5% of paychecks on video games, retire at 65, and just enjoy whatever it is they enjoy doing.

Asperger's is now just ASD and it's considered high functioning. This person should, by most accounts be able to live a relatively typical life despite some social behavioral issues. Being high functioning autistic doesn't excuse laziness or unwillingness. Yes, those two things might be harder to overcome for this person. The relationship thing is just lack of social skills and interactions. When fixing the problem of being lazy and unwilling to get into the work force this person will likely find a new social interest.

Also, don't confuse being introverted and being bad at going out. Introverted people aren't lacking social engagement skills in anyway.

What if the people that I seek support from are so goddamn annoying that they make me retract even more socially.

A.) Are they really annoying or is it your reaction to their words and behaviors? Could you ignore those negative aspects and look at the good things about them instead?
B.) Find new friends, maybe not as replacements for your old support, but maybe so. No one friend is going to be perfect.
C.) Have an open and polite discussion about how their actions make you feel.
D.) Spend less time with those people until you know what you want or that you'll be comfortable enough to deal with those aspects that you may not like.

There's lots of options out there.

Uh, it sounds like you actually don't want to just play video games all day long. I thought that lifestyle sounded cool to me too, until it was actually attainable. I need more social interaction, but I'm not great at it.

I'd like context here. How are they annoying? What specifically bothers you about you're interactions with them.

They're annoying because they stare and smile at me, they try to talk to me when I don't want to except for when I need something from them, and at the end I'm just thinking to myself "Why are talking to me?".

Stream on Twitch.

Some of the most entertaining streamers play WoW all day and talk about their pathetic lives, and make thousands of dollars doing it. This one is my favorite, and there is NO way you can be more cringy then him:

Nobody can read minds, nobody knows how you feel until you tell them. It is an unreasonable expectation for other people to know when or when not to talk to you.

Also, only wanting to talk to people when you need them is a bigger hindrance.

Okay, lets table the social ques during actual interaction, because that's an unfortunate symptom of ASD. when you say they don't talk to you when you need something what do you mean?

I mean, if you just need something, there's nothing wrong with saying, "Hey X, I'm a bit busy right now, can you tell me about Y? Thanks!" and then thanking them and walking away.

No one claimed otherwise, but aspbergers is a lifelong condition that cant simply be overcome completely

The idea that TC can just disregard it and will always be able to find happiness without his condition ever getting in the way is simplistic and honestly lacking in empathy

Then what was the point of all those stupid examples?

Why did you argue against me when I said people who are introverted and have asperger should still attempt to be happy?

Which sucks, and isn't easy to overcome but the other option is to be lonely and feel like shit all the time. The motivation has to come fro the individual but there are resources and the likes that would help find a better baseline and allow for a more fulfilling life.
Comorbidities are common in nearly all mental health disorders, but saying "it's not that easy" when the person isn't actively trying isn't fair. No, it wouldn't be easy, but in truth social interactions are hard in general and everyone has to work on them. Not to say someone with ASD doesn't have to work significantly harder, but if that person isn't trying at all it's hard to empathize with that.

Youre jumping to the conclusion that they arent trying, or even making progress.

I'm using contextual clues to make an assumption. Jumping to conclusions would be to guess at comorbidities as a rationale for them not succeeding.
But unfortunately, without a clinical diagnosis in hand we're all jumping to conclusions. It's the natural progression of this type of discussion.

Hes right. But the only reason why I am depressed is because I am obsessed with someone at the moment.
