You are not alone in that feeling or situation. Hopefully your circustances can change for the better. In the meantime this is a good place for you to be.

I was in the same spot at that age, nothing has changed on that, besides me getting older and as i got older, i feel i just dont care anymore, Because it takes so much energy to get friends and when it doesnt work out anyways. Atleast i haven't had a lot of success with it.

Would i like friends and such today, maybe if it could find the right ones. But im just as happy alone and doing my own thing. had a big depression around that time in my twenties as well. There is a reason that normal people literally go nuts being alone. Most people cant handle being alone for a week or just a weekend. Then try 12 years.

Maybe you can find some people in here to talk to. im kinda new myself in here, im just here really to see what other people are like, mostly just browsing.

But i would imagine it might be possible to make friends. I mean atleast its a lot easier today with the internet. Sure we had internet back then, but not many people could afford it, since you payed by the minute rate to be on, it was crazy expensive.

I do all my socializing here on WP because I have no friends and my family don't live anywhere near me. I actually haven't talked to anyone since I left my job in February. What's that? Five months and counting? I'm an old fart now so it's easier for me to accept this loneliness. At 20 years old, though, and a foreigner, you must get REAL lonely. I only hope you find the strength to go out and meet people in churches, Asperger's meetings, maybe your job or school, etc.

Our situations aren't the same, but I know how it feels. I live at home with my small family, outside that my social life is really lacking. I have a small group of friends I like and get along easy with, but rarely see them due to different circumstances. I talk with some people online to compensate for this, but it doesn't stop me from wanting the social life I can't have and often feel lonely as a result. I hope you do find some comfort getting to know others here and form the friendships that you seek.

im 16 and i only socialise at work and at school, other then that i hang out with my family a bit but mostly i either talk to my clan (gaming) or my best mate who is, like me an autistic with ADD and a simelar personality score. he is in uni first year and he was one of my older brothers mates. realy if i was my brothers age i would have alot of mates as there were alot of my kind of autistics in his yar and now i hang with them.
what you should definately do is pickn up MTG (magic the gathering) and DnD type things. and find a store that holds weekly events (my local good games store holds a different event every night) and you will find freinds. just remember you arent better then a geek so dont feel out of place there.
also find a clan on an mmo
talking through voice chat is easier then face to face.
thank you for showing me my future freind now i can take measures to avoid it :)
remember this. if you dont want freinds you dont need them.
sure pop culture may tell you that you need freinds but YOU dont NT's do.
and if making freinds is an issue then go talk to geeks/nerds they are very freindly and they will accept you. your too close to this so you cant see the simple answer :D
hope i helped you as you have helped me.

If I were young and lonely for friends I would try looking at places that are quiet and low key like the library,art museums and book stores.You may find groups that have similar interests and you won't have to worry about loud background noises stressing you out.Can you adopt a rescue animal? Sometimes this really helps people(and the animal) deal with depression.A person I know also goes to the animal shelter and pets the adoptable animals so they will be happier while they wait for a home.I'm older and am content with books and my animal friends but it is harder when you are young and alone.I hope things get better for you and there are a lot of kind people at this site.

Please exert caution and common sense before divulging personal details via the web and in the case of meeting someone off the web in person. Lots of lonely, vulnerable people on this website with difficulty reading ulterior motives could be misunderstood by someone as easy prey.
