I don't have friends and it's difficult to make them

Post Reply New Topic

I don't really know how to. I've had friends before. Just lately I get anxious. I'm at an age where my differences seem to stand out way more. I don't drive, don't work, and don't really relate. I've been told I should try. I struggled even at an event for Autistic people and ended up crying when I got home.

Sometimes when I am being social I kind of want to go home. I get nervous in public or get overwhelmed. Sometimes I take the bus with people and it stresses me out. I kind of want friends but I don't know if I'm ready.

I think making friends and relating to people comes with practice

And if you've been isolated for a while then of course you're going to struggle and possibly fall behind others who are your age

I'm like a child irl so I struggle with adults and adults struggle with me...people seem to want to parent so that's my difficulty

I'm wondering if you can find something for maybe an hour a week as routine and then work on that and then build it up slowly

I mean I dunno really I'm making this up as I write
