I feel like I need a friend or two...

Post Reply New Topic

The last few days have been something out of the ordinary. I have experienced some level of peace and happiness. However I feel strange, almost scared. I have never ever felt this way before. I have always been on my own, dealing with my issues with isolation. However strangely I feel the need for friends, a group to be associated with, rather than being the one with a separate existence. I don't know why I feel the need to be part of something, and to share my thoughts and experiences. Today for the first time in a very long time, I wish I had someone to talk to about what's going on in my head...

Maybe I want to feel accepted. I don't know. Yesterday I saw someone who gave me much distress in my earliear years through bullying and the like. He had friends, he had a group to which he belonged. I don't. And now for some reason I wish I did. In my world I have no one, not a soul. Maybe I'm just feeling sorry for myself. Sorry folks, I just felt the need to let that out.

go ahead and vent, thats what the Haven is for.

i don't see any end to the bullying of people who are perceived not to have a 'pack' or group behind them, there's something in human nature that brings out the bully in people when they see you are isolated. 'average' people group for self defence but we can't really do that.



i tend to use govt depts where appropriate to deal with harassment or contempt issues, but you can't use them for social bullying.

Yeah I know what you mean. It always puzzles me why though. I guess that I want a group of belonging, like others have, obviously not to go and harrass anyone but to feel I have someone or some people, and that I am part of something. Maybe too much has been done, for this to be a reality.

i still don't have a single group i belong to(fyi:i'm a senior in high school) but i have friends all over, from "emos" to artists and musicians to geeks, nerds, and freaks.

Don't worry, even people who aren't Aspies need friends in their lives. So do I. Here's what you do, take your favorite interest and start a club based on that interest, call the newspaper and set it up. I'm going to try something like this myself in the future. Good LUCK I bet you'll get some positive income with this!

Never apologize for things such as this. Soul searching within yourself can be a step forward, but that doesn't mean it's an easy step to make. It's good to clear your head.
