I am so bored

Post Reply New Topic

I am 17 male with ASD and I am always bored. I have no friends and none ever talks to me and I just stay at home. I am on vacation with family and I have nothing to do. I spend about 20 hours a day on the computer or just playing games or being on the internet. I have a Facebook account and I try to be more active on there and talk to my peers that I have but none says anything to me or talks to me and it makes me ponder why I even have a facebook. My parents and family members are the only one who talks to me and everyone else just sends me game requests and that's just it. I get so bored in the summer I have no other teen to talk to. At school it is worse I am invisible or if I am talking to someone they see some other friend and talk to them and never come back. I have way to much free time next year with early release so I get a ton of online time and I never socialize with people. My social skills dropped a lot over the past few years and I don't get to talk to anyone and none invites me and none ever hangs out with me. I grown so use to spending all the time on the computer that I feel uncomfortable being in other peoples groups and hanging out with them. Whenever I see other students my age I feel like I don't look like themor they don't seem like fun to hang around. I spend way to much time with my self that I'm bored. Is this just me?

No I am older and I am the same way-people only want to associate with me when they need something frm me and then after that they don't want me around anymore-its frustrating-I have no friends and no one wants to hang out with me-I message people on twitter and facebook and IM andd I get ignore-even by other aspies too-what in the wrld did I do to warrant being treated like this. I understand and feel for you.

I am married to a man with high functioning Aspergers and let me tell you it's a challenge. After reading your message I was wondering if anyone would respond as I was thinking they might not know what to say as they may most likely be in a similar situation. I was just pressuring my husband to respond and kept asking what are you telling him and it was all facts so I told him to let me respond. I want to let you know that you are amazing! You can have relationships, but Im not going to be honest here. You have to work extremely hard at it. A therapist who specializes in ASDs can help you with social skills. They have classes for teens. There are conferences and more. Also You can spend time in a garage tinkering or building things. That helps my husband so he's not confined inside all the time. I wish you the best! Keep your chin up and know that their are people like me who love their Aspies!

I meant to say I AM going to be honest here, but I'm sure you figured that out. My husband said it would probably annoy people as they could figure that out but being a Mom we always clarify if only for our own benefit.

Go run?

Idk, I am in the same situation as you kinda... spend all of my day/night online.

I am trying to transition into doing other things....like the other day I painted and did a workout at the track....tomorrow I am going on a biking adventure to the library.

Why dont you try to hang out with other Aspies? I mean, this is an Aspie forum. Maybe you can make friends with people like you and hang out. Just start chating with someone. Ive read comments about people here looking for people to chat with. People here is highly responsive. You can add me as FB friend if you want. My name is Ilka Zapata and I live in Panama, Central America. You can also send me a message here with your FB url and i can add you.

pick up a drinking habbit? oh i'm joking. really though whoever said go for a run doesnt know what there talking about.

Before you start running, get your day started by this treasure of a piece.
