Some of my close friends are recently coming up with silly excuses as to why they can't go to events with me which is upsetting me.See I can't go on my own because the events are at night time and my family don't want me to go out on my own because they are scared at what my happen to me

The excuses my friends probably are true I just feel like I am missing out.The biggest challenge I have with my AS is to anything to do with socialising so this isn't helping
:(

Any advice?

I've been let down by people before...when that happens, I just spend more time with my plushies, die cast Cars, and other imaginary friends...they've never let me down, and they never will. :) It's gotten to where I actually enjoy being left totally to my own devices and enjoy solitude.

...but that probably isn't helpful, so my question is: do you know anyone who shares the same interests as you? Usually when I make friends with somebody, it's usually over intense shared interests, like animation and stuff. :D Having a friendship forged over shared interests is sometimes easier than a friendship that involves going out and doing things...does that make sense? A lot of my friendships are like that - they arise from shared interests.

Hope I helped! :)

For me, if my friends decline, I still go out and go wherever I darn well please. I have a few watering holes down the street ( I live downtown), so I don't have to worry about getting a designated driver since I can just walk. I don't let other people's let downs and excuses ruin my day and I sure as heck am not going to let it stop me from doing what I want.

I demote them to the "Acquaintance Zone". It's sort of like being "Friendzoned", but I don't want their friendship.

had this problem as well, i basically just do my own studying and be with friends that have the same interests as me. then i just ignore the idiot ones. i do stoop up their level, then i say this in my mind " your very tiring and attention destroyer on my end, and you say i am a laughing stock? " then i end that stupid non sense and never go back into that same door. i look at friends as doors. if your good friends with them and they don't back stab you, that door opens. simple as that. you close it when your being made fun of on purpose.
