I don't know what to do

Post Reply New Topic

I suppose there isn't someone from UK who would be willing to let me live with them?

You mean is there anyone in the UK that would be willing to let a random stranger from the internet live with them? Doubtful.

You might have better luck contacting social services to see about getting temporary shelter in place.

Depends totally on you. Are you a beauty, not drug addicted, wealthy, healthy and of totally nice character? No problem to find somebody.
Who are you? How are you? What are your problems?

Yeah, no need to be rude.
I'm not eligible for that.

What's your situation now? Have you reached the point where you can't stand living with parents or trying to escape an abusive partner for example.

I just don't have anywhere to go.

So you're homeless right now or looking to escape from somewhere?

Doesn't matter, my reasons aren't justified enough apparently.

That is really a strange hypothetical question.

We had hosted a variety of students from foreign countries over the years as part of a foreign exchange student program. They were essentially strangers. All we saw was a small file of 2 or 3 pages in length that describe them. It was an interesting experience.

It's not hypothetical. I was serious. But unless you are a homeless runaway, no one will bat an eyelash.

The reasons why are very important to someone who might take you in, especially as a complete stranger.

And no, it's not necessary to be an independently wealthy raving beauty of perfect health and means. If you were wealthy you probably wouldn't be looking for a place to stay. Not sure if that was an attempt at humor.

People who might be in a position to help would be concerned that you won't be a danger to them or their families, steal from them or be very difficult to live with. They will ask you a lot of questions. It's justified.

You should ask questions too. After all, they're complete strangers on the internet as well.

I don't have a problem with being asked, but it seems like this person wasn't asking because they wanted to help. And I don't want to share personal details publicly.

People in this thread, even the one you called rude, are not being rude. They are trying to offer you practical assistance. You feel like you are being attacked, but I don't see it. I'm sure you feel very hopeless and sensitive, but you are giving us very little to go on and many of us are perplexed.

Contacting social services was actually not a bad idea.

If you want to talk about your problems with less challenging replies, we have a subforum for that, The Haven.

Otherwise, have you ever heard of couchsurfing? Go to couchsurfing.com. You could get a place to stay for a night or two, providing you can interact okay with the people you are staying with.

Beware of finding yourself in a situation where you are expected to trade sex for a roof over your head. It should never come to that. This includes couchsurfing or any other method of contacting strangers for temporary housing.

You didn't give us any reasons OP. You just asked if you could live with someone in the UK.

Yes, and I expected someone to pm me, or something. I am not going to share personal details publicly.

You are anonymous here and discussing personal matters is very much what this forum is about, for the most part, not that you're under any obligation to disclose anything about your situation, but generally I think we do just feel around in the dark for advice or ideas as how to deal with problems which NT's tend not to understand..

To entertain the idea of moving out of wherever you are now to live with somebody here who you don't know and who will have difficulties of their own, makes you sound pretty desperate, but if you're on the spectrum or diagnosed with another mental health issue - as most of us are here - then we might be able to appreciate why you're at your wits' end over something you feel is not being taken seriously.

Hopefully there is a another female or young person who has got enough of an idea of where you're coming from who will pm you. I'm not in a position to do that because I'm male and I'm way beyond 20. I'm sorry if you feel I was prying, it's just that sometimes people do need a little encouragement to open up about themselves, but if you're not comfortable doing that then we'll all respect that.

Good luck.
