I'd say I do. I love being around my friends and going to dorm parties and going to theme parks with them and movies and a bunch of other events! Though, I do like my alone time as well  |

I do, but my dad kind of worries that I don't. And my counselor is probably worried that I don't either.
But I do. I have my groups online and I speak with people where I volunteer, I go to a teen group at the psychiatric place. I would like to expand my horizons a bit though. Like get into an Autism group with people my age who have the same issues I do.  |

No, I don't. I am homeschooling, going to school only to exams, I go to private lessons (violin, cello) and I have only one friend near me, only in different city 15 minutes away with a car (who I often see and we are together for the whole day) and one who lives two hours away (If you drive a car), so we are not often together.
I also go to therapies (to an ASD specialist once a year - just for a visit, then once in two weeks I go to Theta healing therapy and once in two weeks to psychologist).
All I go from the house is to go to this activities and when I walk a dog (I am usually with my Mom or alone).
This is all about my social life.
Almost nothing.

| No and living in the middle of nowhere without the abilty to drive doesn't help at all. |

I used to. I had a social life in middle school, but since I go to a different high school than my middle school friends, the only social life I have consists of 4 things:
1. Chatting online
2. Visiting with my mom and her friends
3. Visits from my friends Josie and Katelyn
4. Running into middle school friends on walks
And that's about it. |

| I have ZERO social life. I hate it. I'd love to have friends but at the same time, I feel pretty damned awful about myself around most people. |

In high school I had a circle of friends who I saw every day in school, but never outside of class. So... kinda? I'll let you all make your own opinions on that.
Of course, now that I'm in college, I have no friends at all and I'm sad and lonely. |

Nope, except for the organized group activities I attend. I don't feel comfortable around teens my age... there's too much nonverbal communication involved. I'm fine with not having any personal connections with people, though.

| I don't have a social life at all, only acquaintances at school. It is horrible. I especially hate it when I have to write about what I did over the weekend in English class. |

Well, here high school and "non-high" school normally happen in the same "school" so it is normal to be part of a class since 5 years old until 17... In those circumstances I think we all were 'forced' to be friends with at least someone in the class...
I had some sort of social life until that ended and I entered college with no member of my class going to the same college as I did. From then my social life is 0. I lost all contact with high school people intentionally due to academic shame due to constant delays at college...
If you are interested in being more social/having a gf ( under your own standards, not NTs') I think teen years are probably the best time to start. It is much harder 'to start' during adulthood. Right now I am not even sure I am interested in such things... I am 25. Teen years should be a better time to start because besides appearances, teenage NTs are almost as clueless as non-NT teenages regarding social skills. It will be hard, but probably easier than waiting for when you are older and people on your age have become complete [s]con[/s]social artists...

| I realize, more and more, that the social life I have "built"... or, perhaps more accurately, the social life that has built around me, is somewhat contrived and forced. I used to look at how many hours people spent socializing with me as a rough estimate to the magnitude of my social life, but that seems to work less and less. Sure, I have spent more hours this semester hanging out with a more diverse array of people than ever in my life. But, it seems everyone I know is in a relationship with someone, and that they bring their boyfriends and girlfriends with them just makes me feel more the separated from them. Of course, what's so bizarre about this is not so long ago I was set on never being in another relationship, but that is an entirely different story not suited for this thread. |
