No wanting friends or relationships.

HighToryPsychic

Hello. I am really pleased to have joined this community. I recently came to understand that I am autistic after moving out of my parents house a year ago. I am 32. 

I enjoy just being on my own in my flat, not talking to anyone for 4 days in a row. I am not interested in having friends or relationships with anyone. I do play wheelchair rugby, have a personal trainer and visit my family. But I have never been interested or liked having 'normal' friends. I have a couple online friends who I have met, but they don't live close to me. 

Its something I struggle with because people are meant to want friends and a romantic partner, but I never have. Even since I was a young child/teenager. I am wondering if anyone else feels like this and how they understand it. Thanks.

  • You are still here because you have been loved and somebody loves you. Noone is truly alone. Don't worry so much about what other people have, the modern world is designed to make you jealous and want to buy more things. There is no point in trying to manufacture relationships, from my experience these are rarely authentic or last. Focus on what you can do and what you enjoy doing, people who matter will see you shine at that.
