I like the idea of having friends, and can do so easily within a context like work, but outside of these environments I don't have anything to talk about and don't have any hobbies or interests. Don't care about sports, don't play video games, never got my drivers' license, not obsessed with trains or planes like many other autists are. I like going on long walks outside alone. Thought I would enjoy that activity with a friend, but actually no. Maybe for the first 15 minutes but then it's like I get fatigued that there's still another person with me and I have to keep talking to them and I can't jsut wander off and ditch them because that would be rude but I'm not having as much fun as I would if I were just here alone and not trying to make my solo daywalks or nightwalks into a social activity.
