I think I'm unloveable

I've been in one relationship that lasted 8 months, during which I didn't know I was autistic

Throughout the whole thing I cared about him but I always just felt awkward, and acted awkward. I never really had anything to say, we kind of just sat in silence most of the time watching tv or a movie. I can't make conversation and that is a huge part of a relationship, talking.

I don't think I'll ever be able to have a proper, successful relationship because I'm too awkward and never have much to say, which probably makes the whole thing weird. I loved being in a relationship and really want intimacy, I just don't think I can keep a bond with someone for long because I ruin it with how weird I am. I think I'll end up lonely forever, which I really don't want.

What can I do to stop ruining all my relationships by being awkward and quiet? I don't want to be alone

  • GP didnt really know ,,, he asked why i thought ihad social anxiety, i listed the symptoms and he refered me for an initial assessment  then a formal observed asessment and then a feedback meeting months later. "You are autistic", "definitely"   i was in shock   because i knew autisn was way more serious as u know.  I think i have an idea, do u want to know it ?
