Do you not go places alone?

Post Reply New Topic

Outside of my time at college a whole year to do 2 semesters of REQUIRED Spanish or a doctor. I don't travel alone. I always go with family. I have ZERO friends except online. I can go SOLO when we are there. Walk the mall and shop or walk the cruise ship even pass by family in the casino (not a gambler myself) but knowing that family security is there.


Besides SSI Disability (trying to get that going again). There's no family security at a job!! !! Not sure how I'd handle yelling or rude bosses/coworkers anxiety/depression AS (hint the SSI trying to get back on it.)

Was just wondering does anyone else here not go anywhere alone without family? mainly?


I have a friend WP of 6+ years and not trusting myself alone = NO PLANE TRIP TO SEE HER! = DO I EVEN TRUST HER! SHE'S NOT FAMILY! WOULD I FEEL OK AND SAFE HANGING OUT WITH HER!

We are both AS and understand each other I think?????? (This is years off but as an Aspie I plan WAY AHEAD!) But IMO someone would have to go with me through the airport!!) Wish I knew someone at least that traveled to Arizona to at least get me through the airport at least!

I usually go places with family, I feel allot more comfortable doing so… Once I been there and if it’s not so bad, I will go there on my own. But usually only that place, even if another store is much closer.

I only received social security for about a year; survivors from my father. I don’t know anything about disability, other then it’s not enough… Best of luck, anything will help and hopefully keep from being homeless (really does suck).

I feel pretty uncomfortable going places alone. I usually try to get my mom or a friend to go along with me. I'm okay with going to school because I know I won't be alone once I get there, but going to a place like a store alone lately terrifies me.

Generally no, it has been a real struggle to change. I don't have people to do things with so I don't go out, I'm not really the type of person that can go out and make friends. I spend too much time alone, I am dependent, it's really all compounds on the anxiety and depression that is already there. Trust is definitely an issue, I am a person that's needs to warm up to someone and feel comfortable somewhere or else I pretty much shut down/meltdown/whatever. I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say, I perceive slights and feel judged constantly. It's not healthy for sure, don't know where it is leading.

My family won't move off their buts, even if i offered to pay my parents trip + hotel. Never happened.

I prefer to go alone, less time wasted on indecisiveness of others and "i'll be ready in a minute"-people. I can just throw my backpack on and exit the door in 15 seconds. I love exploring large cities alone, just wander around and find places to photograph and nice places to eat. I usually look at a map at least once so i know what the city looks like and off i go.

I have nothing against going with other people, it's just the slowness of others that makes the explorer in me freak out.

I prefer going places alone.

I'll ask family if they want to come along to be polite, but usually I hope they will say no so I don't have to worry about embarrassing them or cramping their style or doing something in a way other than the way they'd do it thus inviting criticism/correction.

Even not having to worry about who's driving, whether to go in front or go behind or go side by side, who opens the door for whom, whether to hold hands and all that jazz--it can be a relief to just do what I do without wondering what a family member wants you to do.

I'd much rather be by myself than with other people. I view them as unhelpful at best, and antagonistic at worst-- no thank you, I do fine on my own. Statistically you have a much greater chance of dying from other humans (malicious and accidental) than you do from any natural disaster, force of nature, or other animal for that matter. Best to keep that kind of danger at arm's length.

I prefer to go places with my friends. I like having the company. If I have to go somewhere alone, I don't mind. I have more fun when I'm with my friends.

I cannot leave the house alone due to a visual impairment and severe challenging behaviour. I used to stay at home for days and days until my alcoholic mum could take me out. Now I have support workers which is great.
