I wish I could go back in time, I miss everyone I've ever met

Ryu

I get attached to people very easily and get very sad when they leave my life. People can't cope with my intensity but they don't understand that I'm obsessive with everything. I like to know details about all the people I know.

I've lost friends because of my autism and they are afraid because they don't understand.

I want to drink to get rid of the pain, or feel suicidal because I miss people so much and I'm lonely. It's very hard to find a friend with the same interests as me or the same enthusiasm for a friendship.

Does anyone else struggle with this?

  • Hello Ryu, this really struck a chord with me. I've found that he only people that I've ever really clicked with are people like me - i.e. their default setting is to pretty much keep themselves to themselves. I agree that it's also easy to drive people away - in my case through over enthusiasm which I think is a common autistic trait?

    If you live in or near a largely populated area there is Meetup of course. I used to quite like having a chat with random like-minded people from time to time. Maybe you have tried that?

    Forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn, but you sound like a fairly sociable sort of person if you've had many friends in the past. If so then that is definitely a big plus for you. Also we are *not* all the same. Friendships don't happen instantly. If people don't "get" you and/or don't give things a chance then that may say more about them than it does you.
