What is it like for you making friends

emmy2654

I was officially diagnosed with level 2 autism about three days ago. when they called to talk about the results they gave my parents ideas about going out and different groups to make friends. However I have trouble making friends and keeping them I only have one friend at the moment and that’s all I feel I can manage. I feel if I had more it would just cause me stress and physically and mentally wear me out as that has happened in the past. I feel like if I had more than one friend it would cause a lot of drama and problems that I couldn’t handle. How do you all manage to make friends and handle more than one friend without getting tired and mentally and physically worn out.

  • I find making friends so difficult. At school I was envious of other kids because they had friends and I hated myself because I was lonely and seemed incapable of making friends, I even looked it up on the internet how to make friends, and I still couldn’t do it.
    Like crazycatlady I find making friends online a lot easier.

    I would still love a friend but I’m too anxious and I’m socially useless.

    Feels like my life will be completely lonely when my family are gone.
