Hi - Socialising and RSD

Hi , 

I’m autistic, diagnosed at age 12 (am 27 now) and have Rejection Sensitivity Disorder due to trauma from events and people/friendships throughout my life 

My brain is so overly complicated I can’t work it out myself and why I behave in certain ways (which is why counselling doesn’t work for me) 

I struggle a lot to go out and meet new people/make friends and I don’t want to ever do online dating 

Does anyone have any advice for RSD and going out and socialising as someone with no friends? 

P.S. does anyone do japanese jiu jitsu here in the UK with the Jiu Jitsu Foundation (TJJF) 

Hope you all had a good Christmas Christmas tree

  • Hey I can relate to finding it difficult to go out and meet with new people. My best advice is push yourself to go out when you can but also know when something isn't working for you and be okay in acknowledging that. I've tried various groups over the recent years and not stuck to any of them. Some because the group wasn't for me, but mainly because I struggle to build a routine and consistency where I want to go out to be with people.
