I’m a 30 year old autistic man who has always had the hardest time making myself approach people. Even when they approach me, I get shy and awkward and quiet….its not that I don’t want to socialize. Because I do. I’d absolutely love to make friends. And possibly, perhaps something more. But with a mixture of my autism and childhood trauma of being bullied by every kid through elementary and middle and ignored in high school, I find it difficult to approach people…..I find it easier to use social apps. But just like elementary-high, I get hated on and ignored no matter how hard I try to be this decent empathetic man who loves to see people smile and laugh.
