I am very dosappointed to find that I have woken up once again. I feel lile I spend my life waiting to die. Life is pretty pointless without friends.

When i mention to people that i'm lonely they say tjat people like me. Yeah but not enough to want to spend time with me or invite me amywhere.

I've alwayd hoped that things would change . But nothing changes. I've had enough. But still I keep waking up.

You're not alone and not everything is pointless without friends. There are plenty of interests that you can pursue which involve spending time alone such as painting, poetry, art and writing and once you become more involved, you can join a class.

It is better to join a class where you have a mutual interest as people will be drawn to you by that particular interest, I have also found that many creative types tend to be quirky and awkward themselves so they are less likely to judge you for being socially reserved or awkward. Maybe you're looking for friends and social acceptance in all of the wrong places such as nightclubs and bars?

Lol, nightclubs and bars! No, not my thing.

I know people already. I have acquaintances that I think I get on ok with, but i'm alone this weekend again. I feel like trying to meet new people is pointless, the cycle will just continue. I have no idea how to have friendship or be a friend. My sister is having people round today and didin't think to ask me. No one remembers I exist.

I don't need more people, I need to work out what to do with the ones I know already or this will just keep happening.

That's true, you need to learn how to maintain and develop the friendships that you do have. I have found that some people on the spectrum have had luck reading this book.

I know how difficult it can be when it comes to maintaining friendships and relationships, if you have a mutual interest, that gives people a reason to see you or spend time with you. Also maybe you should disclose your troubles to your friends, perhaps they would be able to emphasize and be more understanding towards you.

Remember that if you are a fun and positive person to be around, people will want to spend time with you unless they are negative themselves and only want to drag you down in the mud with them, try to determine if the friendship is mutually beneficial and what you can offer, I'm sure you have many positive traits.
