Feeling alone

Kaylum

Hello I'm new here,I feel like I needed to just vent my problems,I'm high functioning but have problems like understanding emotions alot.

Currently I have my family members I talk to and have tryed to doctors on how I feel but they tryed to help but didnt really work I dont wana feel alone anymore I dont ,plus I feel like i keep upsetting people alot for not reason and my attitudes changing alot,what do i do?

  • Sometimes I wish I had friends. Then again, when I actually think about the demands placed on people in friendships and the social fatigue and anxiety that can cause me, I get turned off by the idea.

    Still, if you want friendships, you should seek them. Decide what your interests are and try and work socialising around those. I feel much more comfortable communicating in text than in person, decide whether that's you or not and then decide how that's going to work around your interests and life.

    If you are a face to face person, the NAS run social events and there's likely to be interest groups near you that will either be evident on Facebook or other social media. If you prefer text based, consider joining forums that relate to your hobbies and go from there.

  • Hello

    Went away

    I mean here on a forum

    I suspect in many of us loneliness is society's imprint that it's the only way, it's impossible to resist it for 18 years of childhood, especially if you do not know about it the first place

    it took me 25 years as grown up person to realise I actuallly like being alone, and I want to spent most of my off-time alone now

  • Sorry to hear you feel alone. I can assure you you are not alone on here. I always feel like im upsetting people too so I get it. I never know whether I actually am or whether its in my imagination. A great quote I heard was "not knowing what is intuition and what is paranioa" I think that sums up a lot of the autistic social experience

    Just know there is nothing wrong with who you are no matter what anyone else says
