Do you want friends?

Post Reply New Topic

If I tried to get friends I would have no luck with it, also it is difficult to determin if they are an improvement rather then having no friends.

I voted yes; I think that everyone, including aspies, need friends. I feel that it's important to have at least some human friends, since like everyone else, we could get hurt or we need to talk to someone about something personal. Having friends is sure nice, having at least one person be with you to talk to you; it feels quite comforting to have someone. I mean, I have God and all, but I'm just saying that I believe that God also made us to have human friends too.

I voted yes although I often feel like having friends is too much trouble. Having these "friends" doesn't really seem to help me because they don't act as a "friend" actually would. So then I think that it's not worth the pain to have friends and isolate myself. It doesn't help though because I still want friends.. just have trouble finding them and staying friends with them. And alot of the time they have trouble iwth me..

Social isolation is either a prefence or not.

I voted yes. Who wants to be alone 'all' the time? Most of the time yes, but everyone needs some companionship. I find it difficult to make friends because I don't really feel like having superficial types of relationships. The sort of relationships built around things like going to parties, and 'hey, did you see that hot chick over there', or 'the Miami Heat are going to win the playoffs and here's why' prototypical type of guy relationship. I find those types of friendships unfulfilling and too obligatory.

I would love to have a close female friend but I guess a big problem too is that the things that I like to think about are uncomfortable for most people. No one really wants to discuss things like life, death, self-desires, or self-analyzation seriously, although they all say they do. Its very isolating to have interests that no one wants to talk about, or have thought about seriously.

I want a few friends but not too many. I don't need a lot of social interaction but a bit is nice.

yes
