+1 yI too have Asperger's, and it just makes life complicated. And nobody knows your struggle just to show up, much less deal with the crap from the people that can't "see" your issues. See how they affect every decision and even word choice. Praying they don't add or subtract or interrupt, because that completely changes what we were trying to say. It's not pretty having to argue with someone because they dropped a word, or added a word just to change a purely innocent picture into something violent and destructive. And almost every single argument I've had, was because I wasn't being heard, while being accused of being the one not listening, would have been avoided, if I had been allowed to finish just like the rest of these "humans" wish and demand and take until the original message is lost. Until all that's left is the pain, the anger, maybe even hatred towards the aggressor. An ex of mine liked to scream at me about how I don't have any friends and I'll be alone the rest of my pathetic life. All because she didn't care about what I, or anyone else, had to say, unless it encouraged her anger and frustration, which was a hard one to guage. I don't know.

I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling. I've been there. I may not have aspergers, but I'm still awkward, shy, and distant.
If I might offer some solutions, you could seek out community in a few places:
1. Facebook groups. Maybe you can find a group of other people with aspergers who have the same struggle and want to be friends.
2. Meetup. com. you can find groups of people tgat share your interests. I think that most of them meet up for in-person events. Like painting? Go for it! Love hiking? Meet those people too!
3. Religious groups. Nothing is a better starting point for friendship than shared values whether Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, or any other, if you are religious and can plug into a church, mosque, temple, etc. of other people of your religion, you'll make good friends.
4. Political activist groups. This is the next best place to find people who share your values. Even better, working on political campaigns together can really develop a sense of comeraderie, and if you want, friendship.
Best of luck to you!20 Reply
I went through a time in my life as a teenager where I had no friends. Again after I broke up with my ex boyfriend. It happens, but it can get better. I would say, go to a therapist and get your mind in order and maybe get the diagnosis for ASD. Making friends is easier when your mind is in a good place.
Try joing a club, a sport or something else where you do something you enjoy together with others. I have always found new friends through my sports.
Maybe also try to connect with your roommates. I saw that you didn't have that much in common but don't write them off that fast. You might have at least something in common with one of them and maybe build from there.
Good luck to you ❤️10 Reply
+1 yThere’s apps.
I personally have my besties, regular friends I may talk to occasionally, and work friends and at times I still feel very alone (depression). I would talk to someone instead of self diagnosing yourself, I would also start looking into apps! Even the “dating” app bumble you literally can be someone’s friend this girl I know did that with another girl.21 Reply

+1 yBeen there, I've struggled with depression and some other stuff. Been homeless off and on (even while working and when I was a full time student) I've had people in my life that were there and I was close to but not in the /friend/ category. I don't think your gender is specific to the problem, it just happens to some people, it's like there is a wall up that keeps us from getting close to others... crossing from co-worker to friend or room-mate to friend or acquaintance to friend just doesn't seem to happen with anyone. It's hard. To get by in this world it takes a village and to go it alone is damn hard.
pm me with a discord username or whatever platform you use (I'm not on social medias) if you want, I can't promise much but I'll talk to anybody. :-)21 Reply
Asker+1 yIts like I'm a robot. I see others start hugging new friends or old friends at work... People get close and it just never happens to me. I don't have discord either. But thanks.
+1 yThis goes for all human beings. They all can have the same or similar characteristics. Your ability to understand reality in human life will show you who is worth not worth as much borderline or not worth anything. We want people who are not only beneficial to themselves but to others as well. Your intelligence, responsibility and maturity will decide who is in your life and who isn't. When everything goes accordingly then you'll see not too many people around that's normal and not to use the rhetoric that because you dont have friends then there must be something wrong with you wrong misconception why can't it be what's right with you. Choice or circumstances will prevail when having or not having friends.

+1 yLol don't be dumb , you don't have any sort of disorder you are an introvert that's it.
Sometimes it might feel something while looking at others you lack something in life but also you have plenty of peace of mind and less drama.
I think you are just upset as of now seeing others looking happy on the outside
Know this it's all a facade every one is for themselves in reality but you can also wish good for others as well.
All you need to do is break your shyness and get a boyfriend.
at least for a while you know all your gloominess will disappear if you find a genuine guy.
Opposite sex people understand you better or at least are kinder to each other
But you have to open up.
I donot know what part of the world you are from but I can only offer you to be your friend but I am very boring 😂03 Reply- +1 y
It is a thing I agree but self diagnose diseases are not.
If she has doubt she needs to get verified.
And I dong think not interacting people is any kind of disease it's just you are not connecting with others - +1 y

+1 yWell i would recommend seeking the help to properly diagnose any mental condition. After that, youve got to just be yourself. Eventually you'll meet people who value you for who you are.

Asker+1 yThank you
I only have one good best friend I talk to everyday and a few people I kinda talk to. I'm introverted and I'm really cautious about who I bring into my life. Maybe too judgmental, but I think it's important to have that judgment to bring the best people into your lives. Better that than have many half-assed friends.
00 Reply533 opinions shared on Family & Friends topic. Do something that brings you into contact with lots of people and the odds of you making a good friend go up. You'll make fake friends too, but I hear those are good if you just want fun. I never needed to have a bunch of friends for fun tho.
Probably avoid seeming needy/desperate/in need of free mental therapy from random strangers. That pushes people away.00 Reply- 432 opinions shared on Family & Friends topic.

+1 ySounds to me like you're neurodiverse. Nothing wrong with that. We're just different. Get a diagnosis to be sure. Otherwise, you ain't alone. Lots of people out there like us, especially since the pandemic. If you want friends, you're going to need to invest time and effort. Join in things. Be a social butterfly!

I don't have many friends either. But a few good friends is better than a ton of bad ones.
Also, some people have friends because they need them, others because they want them. Be the latter.00 Reply891 opinions shared on Family & Friends topic. It happens, especially during covid. One step at a time, just try to have some idle chat and see where it goes.
