I attend a football (soccer) fans group and I got into it because I want to be with people who share the same interests. I am sick of trying to have a discussion on football, only to discover people who are not interested.

Part of the problem is that my interests are so solitary, nobody sees me pursuing them, and I don't have the opportunity to meet new people through them, etc. Unfortunately it's too late for me to join clubs at my uni (there's a deadline for joining), but I don't know where else to go.

Are you involved in any societies? Take any classes? Where do you start looking?


YOGA CLASSES.
Everyones friendly,casual,accepting,usually.
Adrie, I went through the 'be outgoing' stage at your age(I'm forty)
It came to nothing.Joined a gym,swimming pool,martial arts,adult education,Theosophical Society,meditation groups,Yoga.Couldn't connect with anybody.
Or if I did, it quickly fell apart.
"Sometimes I think I just don't have enough of a life!"
Just stop thinking that.
If you are an Aspy,the only real place to be is an Aspy support group
or a loving relationship.
