Hello everyone,
As an autsic adult does anyone relate when I say , I feel really comfortable by myself, like my own company but really struggle fitting in and I end up feeling abit isolated.
Does this feel the same for you ?
Yes... and also no.Sometimes I can be perfectly content with my own company, but then I'll go through phases when I don't and will feel desperately lonely, despite having an adult child who lives with me.
I was trained conditioned etc not to admit I feel lonely (or anything else for that matter, we should show no fear or pain i.e. regimental). I'm starting to allow myself to admit such things to myself(and even others) but is still pretty alien to me / 'unacceptable behaviour ' / signs of weakness
