I have a few close friends. People who I’ve known for like 25+ years. I don’t normally have trouble making new friends, but I have a tough time keeping them. My therapist likes to remind me that friendships require reciprocity. I guess because I’m on the spectrum I don’t do a great job of letting people know that I would still like to be friends.
I am right there with you. I don’t talk to anyone, except maybe my Dad.
I have one non-family friend; we’ve known each other since about age 7. My youngest brother is my friend. My husband is my best friend. And Hubby’s older sister is my friend, but not that close.
I rarely talk to my childhood friend, my youngest brother, or my sister-in-law, though. Just here and there. But when we do talk, it’s like no time has passed.
Me and my youngest brother are good friends too.
He is probably the one I’m closest to in my family.
Even with a ten year age gap.
He is 23 or 24.
I am 33.
We also don’t actually interact much.
I communicate daily with my mother, father, sister and cousin. Besides that I have some close friends but we only meet up a couple times a year.
I also chat with fellow volunteers and with class mates when I follow a language course.
That’s my social life. But I’m an introvert so it’s okay.
I’m not sure if I’m an introvert or extrovert tbh.
How is your holiday in Spain going?
It rained cats and dogs the first 2 days. Today it was the first dry day. I posted some pics in the P is for pinguin topic.
Tomorrow I’m going to visit Murcia.
I’m afraid we won’t have sun the entire week. I’m trying to make the best out of it.
Long story short, people have come into my life and drifted away, most recently (20 years) I was abusive and lost them. I don’t think I’ll be mean with the next person in my life no matter who they are. Unless they smell, I hate that!
