Making friends

Tina

I've been trying to make more friends but it's so difficult because no one wants me as I am. I have to be like them to fit in and be friends with them and it's exhausting. 

So now I'm always trying to have their sort of hair style, listen to their sort of music. Just fit in I guess. But it's not really me.

  • Hi. The performance we put on can feel so fake, almost dishonest at times.  Before i knew i am autistic, it led me to stop socialising irl. I guess many on here are in a similar situation. So if you notice people on here you think you may get on with, im sure they would be happy for yiu to reach out .. and see how it goes.

  • I'd like some new friends. You can pm me if you want.

  • Hello Tina. I'm sorry you are feeling like this. The best person you can be is YOU. There's no one better to be than yourself and if other people expect you to be different for you to be their friend then believe me you can do so much better than people like that. You are worth more than that. You deserve to have friends who like you for you. Friends that will accept you no matter what. You are the best version of you and if people don't like that then that is up to them and undoubtedly their loss.
