Friends

So this is difficult for me to talk about. I have only ever had a few friends. However, now they have all moved on and have told me that they don't want to know me anymore because they feel I will stop them from having a good life. I don't know what to do anymore. It's just one bad thing after another.

  • I'm sorry to hear about that. I just have one friend from when I was younger and I was so upset when she moved 30 miles away. I'm waiting for an assessment of autism / ADHD / both / something else and have met some lovely people through neurodiverse groups. It's hard to think about meeting new people right away after such a rejection so please take good care of yourself x

    Are there any websites to find people likeminded near you? I have tried some apps but people kept messaging me for one night stands (which is not what I was after at all).

    I mostly meet people by volunteering these days and have used the Do-It website to find opportunities close by. I only moved to my local area 18 months ago and volunteered for my local branch of the National Autistic Society too. They are keen to have neurodiverse people involved. I also enjoy the company of older people so groups like gardening and wildlife watching are great and people don't seem to mind my idiosyncracies so much :-) I'm sorry to hear about your experiences with the apps too :-(
