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.

They also say I’m a bad sport for calling them useless pieces of crap all the time

I remember one time someone stole the ball from my friend so I called my friend helpless and useless.

This is some jerky ass behavior here, and I wouldn't want to be friends with the person calling me useless either.

I view people as more tools than anything, and I’m working on being nicer. I say this with 100% honesty, not because I’m being mean. I still feel like I deserve friends, though. This one girl joins right in with me because I do, even though she’s nice when I’m not with her. Am I perhaps a bad influence on her?

I know it’s jerky, as people say it is, but I don’t really feel that bad (IDK why). I can’t help it, it just slips out. When I see someone being useless, I call them out for it. I will always be better than my friends, and I can’t help but get impatient with them, sadly. It’s my nature and the way I was raised. (My parents think they’re better than most people too, especially my Mother).
