A friend of mine for around 4-5 years at this point has randomly started ghosting me completely over the past month or so… I know they’ve seen my messages and I know that they’re also autistic so they’d know I probably wouldn’t get it and I saw no signs of the friendship having any problems and yet they’ve just suddenly stopped and I have no idea what I did wrong…

Why is being a functioning social creature so damn hard?

    It’s important that you move on and stop focussing on the past. It can be painful, and usually it is fruitless.

    After 12 years moving to a new town in the UK, I realised that so many of my friends and contacts had basically disappeared - moved away, or got into relationships so that family life kept them away from pubs I used to frequent.

    It’s rarely something personal, often people just move on.

      Yeah, I just want to like, be a better friend and stuff so it can stop happening cuz like you said it’s painful. Just can’t ever seem to understand and often there’s no clues at all.
