@magicalgrrrl@actuallyautistic Speaking for myself, I have found it difficult to sustain relationships with much of anyone but my partner. I think of her as much more outgoing than I am, but she has as much trouble as I do.
Neurodivergence complicates things, but I think we're all living under social pressures designed to isolate us; overcoming loneliness will have to take into account that it's a global problem.
