I have this friend who has autism, been friends for 2 and a half years now. He sometimes initiates conversation but hardly ever and every time I talk to him he doesn’t keep the conversation going so I have to constantly put in effort even though I’m an introvert so it’s difficult for me. I feel like I’m a burden to him. He always tells me he wants to be my friend constantly and that he doesn’t want to lose me, one time he even guilt tripped me into staying his friend because I tried to ditch him once.
He is a good person but honestly feels like a one sided friendship. I understand having autism would make it harder for him to socialise. I’m also his only friend and the only person he talks to. But it’s requiring a lot of effort for me to always initiate everything.
Should I just suck it up and stay his friend? I do care about him a lot
