I'm a person who doesn't like to talk to others, and I don't like to post news on my WeChat Moments.Having been bullied in the past, I find it difficult to establish an intimate relationship with strangers.Therefore, I have few friends and I often like to be alone.I'm very happy to be here and to share my thoughts。 :D

I didn't really open up even to my family.
My therapist is urging me to start sharing personal things and thoughts with others, the idea is that it will help me to get friends. We'll see how it goes, it's not easy.

I can empathise with you, Winnie. I was bullied too and I'm frightened of people rejecting me if they find out about my autism.

:) Hi!I really agree with your therapist that even if this step is difficult, as the saying goes, "the first step is difficult", we can seek help from people we are close to and trust, and practice deliberately.My dear friend, we will open our hearts to each other. Best wishes!!!my friend :D :D

Thank you sincerely, my dear friend :D
A true friend is one who not only values us, but also embraces our flaws and weaknesses, just like our family.I used to feel that my fate was unfair because I was bullied, but with my grandmother's company, I gradually let go.Besides, honey, autism is not a disability!They are a part of who we are, and those who love us respect us, as well as our autism. :D :D

I too dislike big social media platforms and prefer small online forums like Wrong Planet. Welcome to WP.
