How come only weirdos want to be my friend? Is it because I have ADHD? (lemmings.world)

I’m a girl with ADHD, depression, and anger issues. I like to consider myself pretty fashionable and good at sports, but my only friends are weirdos?

This one girl I’m friends with has a really bad stutter and autism, for example, and I think it’s weird. She also doesn’t like sports like I do.

Could this be the reason why you don’t have many friends? You think they’re stupid/useless? That’s usually not how friends treat each other. Is this common in the States/English speaking countries or something as "banter"?

Edit: Banter seems like an excuse in this context, and OP seems genuine/serious, not joking around. I HAVE heard banter such as “You absolute dumbass” in a playful way but it was never repetitive or harmful.
