Hi I’ve never been diagnosed with anything by a professional (never been to a physiatrist or anything) but I’ve been beginning to consider that I may be autistic.
I wanted to share a thought I had and ask if anyone else has experienced the same kind of thing.
I had the thought that I feel more lonely in a house like a duplex in a city where It’s really noisy and you can hear many people outside, but I feel less lonely when I’m in a stand alone house that is quiet and farther away from any neighbors.. (In both situations I am physically alone) but I can’t figure out the words to explain it to my friend who is neurotypical.
In my mind its like when im in the duplex I can’t be freely myself and I’m more on guard. The stand alone house I feel safe and comfortable while I’m alone just to be my true self. But why does it feel like such loneliness when I’m alone in both situations.. and it sounds backwards. Anyway, does this resonate with anybody?
