Hi all, I’m autistic I struggle won’t friendships and fitting in with others and people accepting me for how I am, can you please help me out, as I want to have friends but I struggle to as I’ve been hurt in past when I was myself with people they called me horrible names
That sound exactly like me. I’m 23 Single and have no friends. People I work with think I weird, my family thinks I’m weird. I always see the good in people and unfortunately I’m yet to meet someone who hasn’t been horrible. Which sucks when you think their nice. I’ve got to a point where I keep my distance from everyone to avoid the inevitable unpleasantness. Lonely doesn’t even come close to how I feel on a daily basis. So if you ever want someone to talk to who can relate feel free to message me!
I read somewhere that, a very high percentage of autistic people, over 70% go their entire lives without a deep relationship or getting married.
Wow that’s a depressingly sad statistic! With the way things are going with me though it doesn’t surprise me. It’s funny for me that it isn’t my autistic traits that stop me from socialising, it’s the anxiety that really affects how people see me. I always try and think “things can’t get any worse than this” but hey amazingly they can!
