Impossible to make friends. 

This site is good but it’s the only place I have anywhere to go.

Not able to do anything and no friends.

Too many problems 

Too ill

cant cope with it all by myself.

people have been making me more ill. I dont mean on here but in offline and I was too ill anyway.

They cant see it and I cant fix it.

Been a burden for decades and trying to be able when im not.

Not good

  • So many of us autistic people struggle to make friends, or don’t want friends - or alternate between feeling lonely and wanting to make friends and just hating the idea. I think it’s one of the hardest things about being autistic. My youngest son would love to have some friends and a girlfriend but his social anxiety has so far prevented him making any progress with this. I’ve always had mixed feelings about about friends - part of me wanted them, part of me didn’t, and once I’d met my husband and had children I felt no need for friends. As I’ve got older though I wish I’d persevered a bit more to find people ( who aren’t my family members) who  I could actually really enjoy being with. It’s never too late though - so it’s something I’m going to look at in the near future. It’s not easy though that’s for sure. I’m really sorry you’ve been dealing with illness - that’s so challenging and no wonder you get down. This community is always welcoming though - and so supportive. I hope you feel a bit better soon.
