• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I have four close friends in this world. God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, and a friend who is worldly that I am praying for. I have a family member that worries about me in this respect, she once gave me a slip of paper that had the link to an Asperger's dating site. I have plenty of people that I know, but I need friends that I can spend time with, and meet in person and that share my interests, I like praising God, and reading the Holy Bible, and serving God and doing what he says.

I also like role playing, writing, swimming, playing my instruments, walking, and playing board games, word games, going to church, and making new friends.

Are there any other people who share some of my interests here?

Aren’t you spending time with the people you play board games, etc. with? Could you not count those as your friends?

Yes, but those are mainly my cousins who live nearby, they are family and friends, but they are only children, the oldest two are high school students, I meant friends my age, who share my interests, and are willing to spend time together in person.

Find something productive to do. Get your own problems resolved so you can lead others to that, if indeed you eat the same thing you provide.
I even wonder if I've ever even really known anyone or anything after spending a number of time in this world.

You don't mention what age you are. You do mention that you enjoy walking - are there any walking groups in your area that you could join? What about sports?

Of course, I do realize that you posted your original post 4 months ago, so maybe you've gone some way to resolving your problem in the meantime.

I am currently Twenty-One, and yeah, I've made a few friends in church since then. I'm fine, I honestly was just sad at the time of posting, and lonely. But I've been doing well in that case now. Thanks for the idea, though there are no walking groups near me, or really any area where I can practice sports at my age near me. I've been fine now I've taken some advice from someone who posted earlier, and have been working on something I feel is productive. I've been trying to write a novel, I have a few Ideas but I'm still new at writing stuff that is actually professional looking, though I'm writing to Glorify God, and not to be a Bestseller. The whole point is I'm good now, thanks to everyone who posted! I take advice and critiques very seriously.

So thank you. All of you.

That’s great, Coleton, that you’re doing so well and looking
positive.

I’m sure your new friends will learn as much from you as you from them.
