I was recently diagnosed with autism in my early 40’s and it’s been making me think about how, although I have friends, it feels like such a lonely place because I might not act interested in people or want to talk but I still crave friendship. Does anyone have any advice on this?
I'm also interested in advice. I crave friendships but I'm not the kind of friend who will want to go out and meet up with people. I dislike leaving my house alone and would have to be extremely comfortable to actually go out and about with someone who isn't close family or my partner. I think a lot of people don't enjoy online friendships though.
I hope you get the advice you need!
Online friendships are pretty ideal for me, cos I also don't really like going out into town much. Unless I wanna go for a hike or something, the only thing to really do outside is spend money. Online like this is much easier to deal with, and I am looking to widen my social circle some, myself.
