New to this. Looking to make friends.

Post Reply New Topic

Hi, I'm a girl in my mid 20's from London but based in Bournemouth so am looking to meet new friends from both London and Bournemouth who have Aspergers. I was only diagnosed last year but have always had a lot of issues about meeting people, going out socially and attending group events. I also have social anxiety. I get very nervous in social situations. I much prefer one-to-one so as to get to know the person better. I like walking, playing tennis and going to the cinema.

Hi, welcome! Nice to meet you.

Hey tennispoet1707london welcome.

Hi,

I'm new here too!
I was diagnosed about 2 months ago. I'm not based in London or Bournemouth, but somewhere in between the two.
I can identify with you in finding social situations difficult, particularly in a group setting. I've found that the best times I've had socially are when I've spent time with a close friend one to one.
I enjoy walking and the cinema too by the way.

I'm new to, but no where near you. Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Greetings and welcome to Wrong Planet

Welcome. What are some of your favorite movies?

Hi, I'm a girl in my early twenties, am from London and also have an anxiety disorder (not social anxiety, though it has morphed into that over the years). And I just joined WP too. I think this is my second post.

I was diagnosed in 2009; I've always had trouble making friends. I'm still in the early stages of making some neuro-diverse ones though by way of social/therapy groups so hopefully that goes well. Do you have a favourite genre you like to watch. I'm partial to war-era movies like War Horse and The Railway Man.

I like romance, sci-fi, action and thriller type films. I also like some animated, animal type films so a mixture. I don't like too many horror, extreme violence type films. What are your other interests? I really enjoy country type walks and have just joined an aspergers support group.

I like a variety of films, tbh. War-era films are just one genre I can point to with certainty; I will almost always like a film in that genre, with a few exceptions. I don't like horror either; stopped watching The Walking Dead because it got too much for me. I love reading, especially historical fiction and fantasy. I love watching crime dramas like The Tunnel and Broadchurch and The Bridge. Foreign dramas are always interesting so I'll throw that in. I like various other shows that I can't think of a single genre for, but most are a drama in one way or another. I like writing, mostly fanfiction but I've tried my hand at some original things as well. And honestly flopped. I really like listening to instrumental music, such as Audiomachine and tv/film soundtracks, especially when either reading or writing.

I walk as well — to avoid public transport, haha. But if it wasn't a lone activity, I could come to enjoy it, I think. Also if it wasn't in a city...

Hello there and welcome to WrongPlanet from New Zealand

I wish you welcome on my behalf.

I am watching The Walking Dead myself. I bought the boxset and am watching it with my boyfriend. I'm shocked at some of the scenes but am continuing to persevere with it lol!:) I agree with you there about walking instead of public transport. I avoid the tube whenever i come to London and just travel by train and bus as it's the dark tunnels and people that get me. The country walks are relaxing and i know Ramblers Groups might do some in London away from built up areas in London Do you study or work? I'm doing an online course with a view to working from home self-employed
