Childhood trauma and autism

NAS37690

Childhood trauma and autism Has caused me to feel very lonely. I feel like I am not worthy of the world and what makes it worse is that people keep telling me do I not know about being loved by others. I don’t. I don’t know what it feels like to love others. I just know pains nd being left because people don’t understand me. in order to survive I have had to reject everyone because I can’t trust them.

  • I feel exactly the same. After being rejected many times, I've started to reject others, to save them the bother of doing it themselves (as I except they will). After a while it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy because when you withdraw from people, they withdraw from you. It takes openness to forge good friendships, but it is hard to open with people if you cannot bring yourself to trust them. So yeah, I cannot give you any advice because I am in the same boat. I was diagnosed only last year, and am hoping that with time it will become easier to trust people.
