Lonliness

Fuchsia

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.

  • Loneliness is probably one of my biggest problems.  I would also love a relationship with someone, but people like me (and probably some of you) are few and far between and finding someone who likes you and isnt a complete a****** is even harder.  Also I suck at conversation and really have to pull out all the stops if I want to engage in it.  So I tend to avoid it.  Which makes talking to women a real interesting thing and extremely hard work.

    Also I'm allergic to pets, so that option is out the window.

    It's probably not of your interest but there are cats and dogs for allergic people.

    I am highly allergic myself and still have pets. I just clean like a crazy maniac :-D

    I'd have a dog, but I have tried going in the house of someone who had a hairless dog and I still ended up with an asthma attack of sorts. 

    Cats, nope, not a cat person, have a dislike for them.  The one that keeps defecating on the back lawn is especially provoking me into doing something about it, aside from the continual use of pet repellent powders.  A bucket of water might suffice (to throw on it).
