lonely

Post Reply New Topic

Been lonely for a long time.

It takes way too much time, energy and skill to make and maintain "friends".

"Thin line between love and hate."

"Friends" always end up dumping me.

miscommunication
assumptions
expectations

Then I feel lonely w/out "friends".
Thank buddha for the internet. it has pros and cons.

I hear ya! Kinda how I feel

Being with friends involve lots of masking so yeah, that is true. I am also thankful we have internet since i don't know any autistic people irl who lives in my country

Real friends to my experience are pretty "low-maintenance", by what I mean they actually care 'bout ye and involve in relationship

The true root problem I see is how hard it is to *find* a friend, when everyone near ye all want is to manipulate and exploit. Or at least expect to abide to unspoken Sacred Gray Herd Law.

And what I can say, eh... Never give up.


Definition of "friend" varies wildly, but personally I wouldn't call somebody a friend if I had to pretend near them to be someone who I'm not.

Yeah, my friendships never last because of that. But i have no other choice other wise i would be completely isolated and my mental health would worsen.
