Feeling distant and detached from everything

Hi

From past few weeks I’ve been feeling distant and detached from everything. I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s absolutely horrible. Nothing I do or say feels genuine. I’ve also started paying less attention to the people close to me which has been ruining a lot of my relationships. I keep convincing myself that everyone hates me even though my friends keep reassuring me that they don’t. I wish I could tell them what I’m feeling and what I’m going through but I’m scared they’ll look at me a different way or just drop me in general.

  • Hey, I'm sorry your feeling this way but I think this is a normal part of being on the spectrum. I've always been kind of distant and detached from everybody, I always thought it was because I was a horrible person but then when I was diagnosed it put some of the pieces of the puzzle together and explained a lot. I also have a support worker and she explains a lot as well. But hey you've got friends and I don't think you should be scared to talk to them, friends should support you.
