Autism and really struggling to make and keep friends

Marsi

I feel isolated sometimes, and I think about why I can't make friends and then I'm stumped. It doesn't help I have agoraphobia due to trauma. Like how do you make friends? And how do you keep them. I'm largely not bothered by lack of friends and family but I have found when my partner is out for the day I have no one to talk to. And I'm left to dissociate(trying to get that under control)

  • Hi and welcome.

    I'm also not that bothered about seeing people other than my partner. There are a few people I used to work with that I keep in touch with, but I wouldn't go out to try to make friends. I like chatting to people on this forum - perhaps that will make you feel.less alone?
