Feel very sad

Roswell

I crave social contact more than most Autistic people. I'm unbearably bored with having a lack of interesting people to talk to. People who are interesting to me are well educated and have an enquiring mind, well I suppose part of the problem is I only have 3 GCSEs and ADHD so I'm not  that well educated myself. Feels like I don't fit in anywhere basically.

  • The internet is a fantastic place to explore. You have to ignore the trolls and find your corner. Formal education is only one indicator of intelligence. Do you like reading? Watching documentaries? There are forums dissecting tv shows even. I found I used to use free dating sites just to chat to people when I was bored. Anything from the best way to catch mice, someone's sexual addition, why their lifelong dream of being someone's bridesmaid is not all it was cracked up to be. Stay safe online, explore, and after lockdown venture out to one of the public meet ups where you can have a chat in person and see if they're interesting in real life. It's hard to maintain a permanent state of intellectual conversation though and sooner or later, your intellectual friend may well just be complaining about the daily commute and the cost of council tax :)
