Hello! I’m posting this on here because I don’t really know where else to vent it to because no one else really understands this issue. (For context I’m in my early 20s).
Anyway, I have autism and the few friends I’ve got have it too (2 out of 4 as far as I’m aware).
Don’t get me wrong I still go out, but not as much as I want and it’s such a conflict in my mind because I know other people who are autistic that have no one, and here’s me frustrated when I have people I can go to and meet up with but not as much as I’d like. I meet up with friends for a drink every 2/3 weeks (rough estimate), but I compare myself to others on social media and I see the same people out with friends every weekend and I envy it because my friends aren’t like that. I haven’t even been abroad on a lads holiday yet with them and it just frustrates me because I don’t want to grow old and feel like I missed out on anything.
All in all, I just want friends that are more outgoing but I don’t really know how to go about it.
