Is it normal for a human being to not know how to be a human being?

Update: How do I be a person in a functioning society? How do I be a better person in society?
How do I be a functional person in society?

These are better titles. But I still need help understanding.
Update: I know many life-changing advice from books, people and experiences, but I want to do it in a certain way that is obviously unexplainable. I want to do something but it has to be done a certain way type of thing.

I honestly don’t know anymore. Everyone has a planned out life. Everyone knows exactly what they want to do in the future even those who say they don’t, they’ll eventually know except for me. I’m a little bit different—it’s sometimes hard to understand emotions for me. It’s hard to know exactly what I want. I don’t know what I’d do in a friendship situation when I make friends—I don’t know where to take them or how to talk to them or what topics we should talk about or how I should direct the conversation. It’s very confusing and hard.

Recently, I saw this beautiful video compilation about people remembering kind-hearted souls. They will never forget that one person good to them. It’s a heartwarming thing for humanity, and one thing all of us humans should look forward to and to work towards—a peaceful and kind interaction with everyone, all of humanity, every single person, individual. needed quality(ties): love, compassion, trustworthy... It is so deserving of respect and humility that I didn’t know how much an impact one person, you, me can be to another person.

This got me thinking. I wouldn’t know how to talk to people after seeing them again in a long time.

People genuinely don’t like me because I suffer from many many many imperfections and flaws. I can’t help it because I feel something is wrong with me personally. I’m unstable. I don’t understand things on time and learn the hard way. It takes years and years on end to pick something up, or it might go over me and I try to analyze it and finally analyze it days, weeks, months, or years later because my brain is maturing and processing things slower than usual when I was younger. I was used to saying “ok” and going along with everything (and almost everybody.) Now, it’s like wait a minute, okay, but now what else do I do?

It’s now my initiative to find out things for myself now and with the help of good books, so I’m not alone.

I never knew what kind of mental disorder I’m suffering from. I was told “I’m normal”, but this isn’t normal.
Update: I’m drowning in my own thoughts :(
It’s repetitive. Again and again, so wild! It drives me crazy. It keeps me awake most nights.

But it’s so weird for me to understand another human being. I don’t know how to handle myself or others in social situations. Am I supposed to say much or be more quiet? Am I supposed to give detail or only a simple sentence? What do I do or say to another person like me, like a normal human being, like what am I going to say to a kind individual? What am I going to say to a person who met me and was on bad terms with me? What am I going to do later on in life?
What are we all going go do?
What am I going to do?
🤨 I feel as though I just read a post I wrote nearly 30 years ago.

You’re fine. You’re also overthinking, in a good way. Store all these thoughts away.

I never figured out what to do.

Everyone is winging it, no one knows what they are doing and it's all basically make believe: life. That's everyone.

The crazy fuckers are the ones who say:
I know what I'm doing and I have all the answers.
Never trust them for a second.

SW just changed how we comment. They did it without warning. I have Aspergers. It's on the Autism spectrum. I really couldn't cope with that. It made me suicidal. Please SW get a counsellor on your team. To tell you how changes will affect people!
I have some important guidelines.
