i feel bad about feeling loneliness
i dont want to pity myself but to be honest i dont have very many friends. maybe 1 or 2 close ones but i cant stand being around others. when i hang out with people its like i need a couple days to myself afterwards to just chill out and not be so tense. idk if its me pushing people away or what. but i get sad whenever im alone for too long and its so confusing- like do i want people around or not??? i need advice.
Hi I'm very similar I only have a couple of close friends and when I do get together with them I always need to have a day or two after by myself to wind down. I think this is because I am on the spectrum but I also know that this is something that introverts feel also. And like you I find myself getting lonely if I'm alone for too long so I think the answer for me is that yes I do want to be around people but not too many and only for a certain period of time. I hope this helps😌
@benaffleckanti hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling bad about this :/ i can understand what you are saying though, I am the same. It's ok if you need a couple of days to not feel so tense! Being around people takes up a lot of our energy and we need to charge our energies again :)
You mentioned you feel sad when youre alone for too long, when do you usually start to feel sad?
Hope to get an answer from you, take care!
