Your family is your friends, unless if they are not close to you, casually meeting up with people from like a meet up group that doesn't necessary involve talking much may help and like for a little bit you could go to a supportive church and learn how to socialize, it mad me alot less anxious when I talk to people. Best of luck to you!

Girls have it so much easier. (I'm joking) But I truly believe it's easier for a women to find males than it is for a man to find a girl.


My experiences so far suggest strongly that it might be easier for females to approach males than the other way around. Gals shun guys in general, even in penpals community.

can i ask what area you live in? You sound like fun. There might be an aspie group nearby, and you could make friends that way.

I guess you don't want to feel alone because you are really bored. Before trying to make a real friend (which is a difficult thing to start with:|) you may think if you really want to make a friend.

This means that when you make a friend, this is not only you that are going to talk to him/her, but he (or she) will also talk to you and try not to be bored. This is something that was hard for me to learn. Not knowing this made me lose many of my old friends. :cry:

Then I think you should choose someone that you think will be a good friend of you. You may not know this before being friend of him. This is just your guess. Try to talk to him and ask questions to make him talk to. If he talks, he will likely talk to you the next time you see each other.:)

This is how I think it's a good way to make friends. The obstacle in the beginning is that some times this friend will want to talk to you when you don't want to talk, as also you will talk to him about something he does not want to talk (this happens to me very often :( ).

But I think it's just a kind of "price". If you want to pay this price to be friend of someone (which I myself think it's very low), go ahead and try to talk. :wink:

PS: one of the things that really pissed me off was people wanting me to talk about no subject. Choosing a subject is also a good problem to deal with, so I try to choose subjects that my friend uses to talk about.

No, aspie women do not have it easier than aspie men. Most men, just for starters, don't like it if you consistently correct them when they get their facts wrong. Also, NT men apparently need constant emotional stroking by NT women in order to be kept from becoming violent and/or verbally abusive. Since aspie women have a hard enough time managing their own emotions, much less someone else's, they tend to have problems in relationships just like aspie men do (because the latter can't do the reciprocal emotional stroking that NT women need to keep from becoming insecure and/or hysterical).

No, I don't have any friends either. I have friendly acquaintances, perhaps even people with whom I get along well, but there isn't a single person I can call and expect to have them pick up the phone and be available to go do something until after the date/event in question has conveniently passed. I compensate by reading, walking my dog, and exploring topics that interest me.

You're not the only one...most people suck anyways, not that they're dumb or anything but they just suck

Hopefully you don't wind up like me, I forget that I'm a loner sometimes and the whole thought of taking risks and meeting new people just passes over my head like a flock of birds

Im so bored. with no friends. what do i do.?

im homeschooled, but im scared to go to public school. my mom is trying to get the word out about AS to the high school because they refuse to help me in my situation, i DONT want to draw attention to myself by her doing that, but she wont listen to me, so im scared and embarassed.

also its depressing because my sister has alot of friends, even my MOM has more friends....

i dont know what to do.


I took cyberschool this year and I felt the same way. But I found skype and now I have aspie friends which is better than normal friends because we're all playing on a level playing field. Now I don't want to go back to school. Public school was brutal in terms of work for years, I would barely have free time, even on the weekends, and it was terrible. In cyberschool, I began writing short stories, lightsaber choreography, reading regularly, and other stuff. But my school district says that we need to pass the 12th grade in Public school to get a diploma. So right now, Im really deppressed. I really don't want one more year of slavery. And I don't even have friends to pass the time. My best friend has either severe As or HFA and he's not all the way there. He tells me he misses me, but at school during lunch, all he does is eat quietly and then go to the library and read manga for a half hour. :roll: He's my neighbour, so I see him all the time regardless.
