social anxiety/ and feeling exhausted in public

LFG

this is the first time i have  spoke about this online, but i hate that i have social anxiety and anxiety do you hate it when you feel anxious and being exhausted in public. just want to feel like im enjoying being around people and i have no friends any more and that hurts. i find it hard to make friends and when i do have friends it makes me feel happy, im trying to forget my friends that hurt me and i need to move on, but some times i think about the past and it makes me feel down just need to get a friend. one day i will have a new friend just have to wait and see. i hope every ones doing ok

  • I just got off a Skype call with two friends I have known since we were fourteen, they are both neurotypical. We Skype each Friday evening when we are all available. It is possible for autists to have and maintain friendships, the luck is finding people who are accepting of autistic social limitations and forgive occasional misunderstandings. After a while, you don't feel anxious being with your  friends, though I admit that meeting them in some public places can still be uncomfortable.
