I feel the same and have been thinking that I will probably live alone forever because I feel 80% introverted and need my own space. I do enjoy socialising with family and friends occassionally but after so long I want my own space back and I do not know how I would cope with living with a partner or kids

I like getting to know people but struggle to maintain friendships or people just take a disliking of me. It’s genuinely draining the life out of me. 

Do those you want to befriend know of your ASD?

Remember, friends are those who want the best for you regardless of your quirks, and those who want to bring you down should be ejected from your life. I personally enjoy being around Autistic people. The 'normies' are the difficult one's.

I agree - autistic people on the whole get me a lot better than neurotypical ones - though I’m struggling to make friends even within the ASD circle. I do try to be open with people about autism and associated behaviours. Being honest I just have the one long term friend really - it’s quite depressing and I’m not sure how to turn things around from here. I feel I’m being channeled by life into an early demise. It really is eating away at wellbeing. The irony is 6 to 10 people would suffice, I’m not looking to be crazy popular but just have a few people in my life who genuinely want to know me.
