I don't have any autistic friends

KL

Hello everyone I am taking a break from social media but I am trying to connect more to people here. I find that there are some toxic people out there who know how to hurt me when I am vulnerable so I have to distance myself from them. I'm really sad at the moment but I still need to interact with people other than my husband. Not that there's anything wrong with him but he's my person and I don't want to always put everything on him. I tried to post yesterday but I guess my post didn't go through.

  • Hello there. I am very new to this service. I am very sorry you had a bad time on social media. I have a fiancé but have the same issue as you. I am looking to make some new friends and hopefully to share them with my fiancé also ^_^

    I'm quite shy to meeting new people and although I'm always going out and about, I'm not very good at talking to new people in public, so I find it easier to message people online. I just hope the person on the other end is the person they say they are cos I've been messed about a lot in the past. 

    Just trying to find GOOD friends and no messing about really! lol.

    I hope I can get to know you better.

    Are you into video games, anime, any hobbies like bowling?

    Hi glow stick I am the same way with meeting new people I'm really shy/social anxiety. And I feel that has gotten worse since COVID. The only time I don't seem to feel that social anxiety is when I am working, I guess because there is nurse/professional me that has no expectations of making friends and it's easier to not say or do something "awkward" when I'm on work mode. But otherwise I really am very anxious being out of my comfort zone of doing anything new. I love video games and I haven't bowled in a while but always found it to be fun. I like being active like rollerblading and at least that's something I don't mind doing by myself at all. I love art and music too I have a lot of hobbies and have a lot of fun when I'm by myself...I guess I just sortve crave to be more like, everyone else...but I'm in therapy for that LOL
