Help I caint form connections

Post Reply New Topic

I don’t know if I’m autistic but I can barely socialize with poeple sometimes I can make small talk or just talk about general things .

I constantly worry that I’ll be alone in life dealing with depression And anxiety . The only thing that I really liked and could talk about were these 2 shows that I used to watch and that’s about it . Sometimes I can ask questions. I opened up to my family about this , They don’t believe me when I say that my brain doesn’t let me socilize that much . I just don’t know what to do I couldn’t hold down jobs due to anxiety and lonelyness .

I’ve been to different Pycologist and no one believes me and I’m just frustrated. Even if I had other interest I don’t think I could talk about them for a long time I’m just not sure what else I like but I know that I just want to be able to have casual conversation . I had a hard time in hs and now I’m 30. Is this normal to not have things to talk about ? It feels like poeple make conversations so effortlessly and I caint seem too .

I'm not a psych so i can't say if this is due to autism. I used to really struggle making small talk too, now it all comes too easy since i've had a very talkative friend for years and i just imitate her. Maybe you're just so focused on things that you like and stop paying attention to other things unconsciously?
I'm also very scared about being left alone, i have only one friend and she'll leave the country soon. Just wanted to say you're not alone.
