Feeling lonely, no idea how to meet people local

I want to meet people as I'm minimally speaking and actually have little to no real life friends. The place I'm in gives opportunities which I do take, but I'm often ignored because I can't speak that well. I'm not sure how to go about meeting people in that case. I do have moderate to severe sensory issues, I can handle a busy restaurant on a good day, but on a bad day I'd rather die than be there. 

And I need something to distract me from various thoughts. I'm in my mid 20s if that's any help.

  • Hi there. It's such a difficult one, isn't it. I am 51 and I don't have many friends. It has not been easy.

    Many folk on here would recommend getting involved with your special interest or hobbies. My special interest is organising travel, so haven't had luck with that. 

    Also how would you feel about going to a local autistic groups (as I see is posted above). Thumbsup

    Take care and hang in there,

  • Hi mrs snooks, Yes I can relate it's not easy for me too. I wanted to reply organizing travel caught my interest. I love traveling and organizing travel. Since I was a kid I traveled a lot with my parents and my mom loves organizing travel so I learned it from there but now with my own personality and interest, I believe my style of organizing travel could have a unique aspect to it.
