It's harder for me to make friends

Harder than before SZ,

I cannot form a normal friendship with normal ppl.

Before SZ I was very fluent at forming new friendships.

Now at work I simply have very few friends, mostly male.

Maybe it’s really SZ affecting the way I communicate

SZ makes it challenging to be social. Lots of complex symptoms lead to the problem.

What’s yours. It’s impossible for me to maintain a normal relationship and I know why.

What do you think it is for you?

For me it’s hardest to form a new relationship, and even harder with ppl which are considered “normal, communicative” from society.

I get along better with those considered weirdos.

Sz makes socialising overwhelming. I can relate to this this as well

Actually at work or university.

I never go to specific places… though I am sure it won’t help me to find friends.

I literally feel something is wrong with the way I communicate

I was lucky enough to meet my wife in hospital. There was a sizeable age gap and our backgrounds were very different, but we gelled relationship wise from the very start of knowing each other. Beyond that I made no friends. I now have my chosen family, and that’s it. I can’t blame SMI for it, because I had difficulty making friends from a very early age.

I know, I know. It’s a strange way of meeting new friends.

But have you tried bumble bff? I think @Zoe tried it.

I understand. Sz makes it hard for me to form close friendships too. I am trying despite this though and putting myself out there and taking chances. I know I’m bad at socializing and I have flat affect. But I’m trying.
