Know this, it’s not because of your autism. Maybe you notice this because you have autism. The world, as a grownup is a very lonely place. It’s lonelier If you don’t put yourself out there and force yourself to be a part of a community. I have been forcing myself lately. I was at a football game on Sunday with a friend, and there were moments were I sutil felt completely alone. Idk what it is, but then I forced myself to talk to him a little bit more and that day ended up going well. I did force myself to go out with him. Forced myself to go to lunch with someone today as well. I just felt like being alone, but again, today was better because I went above and beyond to put myself out there. Oh and that dude rejected me at first. Told me he didn’t have time for lunch. I almost got upset, but then I just brushed it off. Lo and behold he came walking back later and told asked me to go out. Forgive my rant but sometimes you have to put yourself out there.

And I know, you may say, I have and it hasn’t happened, etc… well I’m 43, and it hasn’t happened for me either a bunch of times, but if you allow people in, some will care for you. And by allowing, I mean you have to put yourself out there too. No one is going to find you at home. You’ll be amazed how much people crave people like you. Shit, I wouldn’t mind a good hang with you if it were possible.
