Do aspies miss friens and family?

Post Reply New Topic

I miss the "call of the wild".........the hours spent getting back to my true nature........in nature. I pine for that. I deeply miss the idea of living in a shack in the woods.

As for people, I do not miss, more feel a deep disturbance in "the force" when they are not around.......I feel discord bordering on fear.

I get scared that if my family is not around, I will be stuck in myself forever......for they are the ones that kindly and gently require me to interact.

I miss the services they provide me, but I don't miss them.

I sometimes wonder how they're doing, but I don't miss them in the emotional sense. I am glad though, that they're still around and I can contact or visit them.

I miss by big sister that is over in Amercia. I miss her more though because she is coming over in May. I miss my dad but that's because he passed away.
I miss friends that I haven't seen in years, but my current friends I rarely miss.
I used to be very attached to my mum and when she worked long hours I would wait up for her. Or if I went on a school camp or slept over somewhere I'd miss her.
I'm not certain of how much I'm miss her when she goes to Bali. It's only for a week.

The only people I miss and look forward to seeing are my husband, son and grandsons. Beyond them, the only friends/family I really miss are of the 4-legged variety.

I have been thinking about this.
I don't use to miss people. I moved from Norway to Sweden, and left all my friends, and I don't really miss them.
I don't want to meet them again, actually.
I always leave everything behind me - they are not in my life anymore.
When I change schools, I rarely miss my teachers or classmates.
It's just the way it is ...

I imagine that if I moved I would miss my place and my usual routine, probably more than I'd miss my people.

I find that I mjss my friends, more than I miss my family. My friends understand me and accept me, as I am.

I missed my parents when I moved out to Oregon. Now I don't miss them anymore. I missed them when i went to camp for a week when I was 12 and I wanted to go home. Once I adjusted, I didn't miss them anymore. I used to miss my ex's and then when we were together 24/7, I didn't miss them. I don't think I ever missed my husband. He saw me every weekend before we moved in together.

I've come to uni and I really don't miss anyone. Then when I go home for the holidays I don't miss people from uni either. The feeling just isn't there. Which I guess is a good thing.

I really rarely miss people unless I include the few in my inner circle. I haven't missed my family at all after I made my break from them (an emotional necessity), but then just recently two of them died and the whole family thing is in my face again. It makes me exceedingly uncomfortable.

With places it's another story. I miss certain areas so much I can taste the air, sense the humidity, feel the breeze in my hair. I miss those cities like I imagine others missing people. It has nothing to do with the people I knew there; they caused pain and disappointment.

When I was a kid I cried (hard) every morning in school from age 5 to age 8 because I didn't want to be separated from my parents. When my grandma would come over and stay, and then go home I would cry (hard). Both of these examples, these was no method to console me.

Now however, I will miss my family after an extended period of time, but it takes quite a while.

I should add - my wife - very similar to me in some areas, very different in others, clearly on the spctrum - is very much a misser. Even with people who crush her like Jovian gravity.

I dont miss anyone...in fact saying goodbye to family at an airport say is no different to me than going to the corner store to get a bottle of milk
Theres no emotional component involved.

When i contact them its because a certain period of time has passed, it doesnt register in any other way for me.

Which has to be hard on them.
