Losing touch with friends

Aww that's lovely, I'm glad you have so many genuine and authentic friends

I have very few, I need to find more. I don't "click" with that many people. 

Yep - if there's no profit in you, they're not interested.

None of my friends *need* anything from each other - we *choose* to spend time together because we fit well together.       We tend to be givers.

I have a long term friend coming down on Friday - we're taking him out to lunch .     We spent yesterday afternoon with other friends - coffee and cake in the garden. 

I spent this afternoon with the next-door neighbours - they are really old and both dying of cancer - we spent a nice chatty afternoon in their garden all discussing our treatments and bucket lists.     

I've really caught the sun. 

Omg, I agree with that so much!

I only have one autistic friend, and we have both discussed how NTs seem to drop people when they're no longer "fun" or useful to them, whereas we are loyal through thick and thin. We've both been dropped whenever we've gone through bad times.

All my friends are diagnosed or undiagnosed aspies - known most of them since childhood.    We all make the effort.

NTs seem to let people go when they are of no further use to them.

Yes that is very normal. Most of my "friends" disappeared when I stopped drinking. Unfortunately, true friends are very rare - most people just want to have a good time.

One of my friends who I thought was a really good friend would only meet me in bars and clubs. But they made me feel very self conscious I couldn't keep going to the bars to meet her. She wouldn't meet me at any other place do you think this is normal behaviour these days?
