Lonliness

I wondered how people here feel about lonliness? I used to wonder why I didn't have friends, but since realising I have asperger's I rarely think about how often I'm alone. I have my husband but most other days I don't see anyone one else and am happier for it. I'm quite content doing my own thing and I resent the current view projected in the media that we all need a lot of friends and that only by being part of social groups can we be happy. It's simply not true. I don't wish to hurt anyone who actually is feeling lonely but I'm interested in what others think.

  • I like people - nice people. Ones who want to be with me, are 'givers' and not takers. I like spirited people who have done things in life and like to share experiences. I also like to people-watch in the wild. Observing and measuring the pettiness & politics from a safe distance.(Data gathering)

    I also like me-time where I can sleep, watch tv, make things, listen to music etc. without having any deadlines or expectations from others.
