I don't have any autistic friends

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

Thanks Bunny, now I just have to work out what it all means

You can view someone's profile by clicking on their name.

People have a profile other can read, where and how does one access it? I've tried hovering over names and avatars and nothing much happens, just a few of the other conversations that person has commented on.

Oh! Thanks for your reply. YES exactly! COVID is totally to blame for this whole mess I feel. I struggled a lot in life since school but when my friend died from COVID, it tore up my friendship network and affected me and my fiancé (not that I have that many friends anyway =(  ) I also don't feel shy/awkward when I am working too. I have done many jobs in my life but all of them were highly stressful and ultimately ended in me having a mental breakdown. I was off work for 10 years cos I couldn't find my place in the working world, but thankfully I found ONE thing I'm good at; being a self-employed delivery driver with 0 hour contract. I actually love doing it too cos I love driving =) 

What genre or consoles of video games do you like please?

I managed to get my highest ever score 2 days ago at bowling: I got 200 ^_^ I was well happy!

Rollerblading? Wow that's cool. I am not good on my feet and would probably be hanging onto the railing for my life lol.

I did a 2 year course in 3D modelling and animation so I know a little bit about how to make 3D models at least. I'm so-so at drawing manga characters but not great at proportions.

What types of art do you draw? =)
