    this image shows a screenshot of text that says the following: "a difficult part of being autistic is wanting friends but feeling overwhelmed by replying and keeping up with friendships. wanting to be alone but not lonely."

    This hits so close to home right now that it kind of feels like I’m sharing an excerpt from my personal provate diary, lol. Couldn’t be any less horny, ha!

        I’m so sorry that you feel the same way. It really, really sucks. (My brain is doing that thing where it can’t find the words I’m looking for so, even though it’s a mega-understatement, ‘it really, really sucks’ is the closest I can get right now, ha) I hope things improve and get easier for you soon.

        But like I don’t really want to be alone more like for someone to sit near me and mind their own business but like be there while I do my thing. U get what I mean?

          Oh definitely! I 100% get what you mean and feel the same way plenty of the time. I like and miss getting to do that with friends. But also sometimes I need fully alone time to recharge and stuff, ya know? But that’s just me haha
