Young adults with no friends

Jasmineb1999

Hey

I was wondering how many young adults (roughly between the ages of 18-25) have joined this forum like me due to feeling lonely/without friends. I thought maybe if we all posted a bit of info about ourselves we may find people who are have similar interests and hobbies. And hopefully find some friends.

So I’ll start buy sharing a bit about me:

My name is Jasmine, I’m 23 years old. Unfortunately still single. I work evening/nights at a supermarket. I have high functioning autism and crippling anxiety. I enjoy watching tv and movies (I’ve just started re-watching Harry Potter.) I play the piano and I’m attempting to teach myself the ukulele. I enjoy cooking and baking. I am trying to complete an online course which is equivalent to doing a levels but have lost motivation for it right now. (Going to restart in the new year) I was home educated in year 9 due to bullying and I have never really found a friend who understands me or accepts me for who I am.

    Hi jasmine, lovely to meet you :) 

    I'm 27, also still single but I'm hoping to maybe try dating in the next few years. See how my anxiety is I guess.

    I'm hoping to start working next year too.

    I'm so sorry you were bullied at school - I was as well, it defos does have a negative impact and that can lead to PTSD, depression and lots of other sad things.

    Look forward, you've got lots to look forward to :)

    Sorry for not responding sooner, Thank-you for your lovely words, it means a lot. That’s fantastic that you are going to try working next year. I had to take a brake from working a few years back due to anxiety. So it’s a big leap to make.

    it seems so many autistic people are bullied at school, everyone always thinks it strange that it still has such an effect on my mental health all these years later but the hurt never really leaves. So in some weird way it’s nice knowing that I’m not the only one still struggling the consequences of bullying.

    I love your profile picture, Lilo and stitch is probably my favourite Disney  film, I’ve always wanted to visit Hawaii. Is it your favourite movie too?
