I’m a 22 year old autistic adult and I think I don’t like having friends. I agree to plans but on the day I hate that I have to go. I’d rather do things alone. I feel most content on days where I’m alone with my close family and/or dog. My close family is all I need. Friendships feel too exhausting for me. The more I unmask, the more I realise things about myself, and I think I’m just discovering this one. Of course it makes me feel bad but I can’t change the way my brain works. I don’t want to sound like a bad person. Is there any autistic adults on here who feel the same? I don’t know who to talk to about this.
