    Intense anxiety and making friends.

    How have some of you made friends when you have extreme anxiety? I'm not in school, and I'm not comfortable going to public spaces, especially places that are supposed to be social, but I also want to have friends. It gets lonely always being at home by myself, but I also don't know how to...

    I feel alone, even among other autistics.

    I've never really been involved with autistic related communties before. This forum is the only exception. I've felt kinda different from other autistics. Despite being officically diagnosed with HFA twice, I've felt different from the others with HFA and I one point questioned if it was even...

    Do you feel "Socially Isolated"?

    I had just finished my next video called "Social Isolation". This time, I had created Blues as the background music for this one and kept away from flickering lighting effects. Do you feel socially isolated right now? Have you ever been socially isolated in the past? Being socially isolated...

    Forming and maintaining friendships

    In the past year or so I have started to attempt to form connections with others. I have formed some friendships with some people, but honestly it is so exhasting. And the deeper the connection that I feel for a person, the more I rely on their company. I get terrified of making people angry...

    Crying with the city lights

    Tonight I feel lonely. I'm out here in my balcony, with a stunning view of the city at night. Usually I would have enjoyed it. But tonight I feel so lonely. I love being alone, when I want to be alone. That is a lot more frequent than it is for most people. I like to write, read, travel, eat...

    How do you know if your friends are really your friends?

    As the title says, I’m curious to know how to figure out if your “friends” are really your friends. I would hesitate to call most people I know friends even though I converse and do stuff with them. I would call a friend someone who I have a close relationship with a friend, someone who would...

    Alone on Thanksgiving

    If anyone else is alone on Thanksgiving and wants someone to talk to then send me a message or leave a comment. For some reason these special days on the calendar can make loneliness worse. I have suffered through depression and know how hard it can be. Don't be afraid to reach out if you need...

    The end of social networks and social endeavour for me

    For many years since I started on social networks, firts on hi-5 and then facebook a part of me never got fully conected to the social paradigm those sites include. I've never been a very social guy, and I'm more of a solitaire and isolated person. My therapists told me to at least stay in...

    Is never too late to find yourself?

    A month ago I was a victim of a severe anxiety and a depression. I was lonely, I could concentrate and I was totally lost. For years I tried every single thing my mind could think of, I tried all to alleviate my symptoms. Every single thing I did not help. All the meditation did help...

    Am I the only one who wishes to live in my favourite cartoons/Animes Universe?

    Please, don't laugh at me for telling you this... :nomouth: I do know that cartoons are creations of humans, but that does not mean I don't consider them as ''unreal''. For me, no matter what, they are always ''real'' in the sense that they have emotions, an interesting story and that I can...
