| Well put. Many of us have been without close, honest friendships for a long time. I think it can be hard not to act needy. It's easy to for an average person walking down the street not to gasp for air. It's quite a different story if that same person has spent 30-40 seconds underwater. Thank you! |

| I feel like I can't escape the sight of drinking and smoking wherever I go in the social arena. I don't like the way alcohol tastes and I can't stand the smell of smoke but it feels like if you want a social life, you have to drink or smoke. Just curious, if you had to profile (positive sense) them... |

| Actually it's a good sign that they praise people in front if you. They're probably praising you to other people. It's like the opposite of a gossipy friend. If a friend gossips to you about others they sure will be gossiping about you. That was such a nice way of putting something I've never thoug... |

| Hi, I'm 29 and live in Massachusetts. Never diagnosed but glad because I might not have pushed myself so hard and missed many great life experiences that in retrospect were worth the agony. I travel quite a bit now, so am interested in world cultures, particularly Japan which I have visited twice. C... |

| Save that quality for when it is established that you and this other person have the same designs on the friendship. Don't make yourself available all the time for their needs. Don't initiate all the contacting. Let off the gas and see if they call you. While you may feel a connection with the othe... |

| I relate a lot to the issue of not being able to tell where you stand in a friendship. Besides that, knowing what someone else thinks of me is almost impossible which results in me questioning that a lot. Doesn't matter if they're a close friend, I always question if they actually like me or not, a... |

| I tend to struggle a lot with jealousy when it comes to my friends. Like, if they make new friends, I feel awful and worry that they'll abandon me for them. I sometimes secretly wish that I could have them all for myself, as bad as that sounds. Also, if they praise other people in front of me, I fe... |

| Many of us on the autism spectrum like to adhere to routines. These are the consistencies in our lives. And when something interferes with our routines, then we often get upset and anxiety ridden. Often times these routines involve the people around us. We find comfort in knowing that each day will... |

| I think it is very common for people on the spectrum to go through this. I do. Um, yes, so much of the emotional struggle around these friendship issues resonates with me too. I swear it is like my number one obsession. I want so badly to have friends, but find myself consistently alone and unwante... |

| You're probably more open than I am. I tend to be pretty selective about it... People might be uncomfortable talking about feelings for a variety of reasons I've seen. My family rarely talked about feelings, so I didn't learn how to at first and didn't see it as something that people commonly did o... |
