When I emailed the friend I mentioned above and said that I saw her a close friend this was the response I got " ahhhhh bless that's made my day x". From that reply do you think she sees me as a friend?
-
I have found that I have become very obsessive about my friends. Worrying about them all the time especially when they are doing activities with other friends which I am not involved with. Is this linked to Aspergers?
-
Slightly off topic but my friend has a very different personality to me and is very brash, outgoing, a fighter. My point is does it matter if two friends have different personalities?
-
Thanks for your replies. Luckily the person I keep asking these inappropriate questions to has been a friend for a long time and so has always forgiven me. I just need to get out of the habit and remind myself that if I don't stop doing this she may not be a friend for much longer.

Does anybody else fixnd that they ask inappropriate questions without really thinking through what they are saying. It is becomming a bit of a habit which I need to urgently get out of.

Does anybody have any thoughts on my dilemma?

I have worked with somebody in our office for over 10 years. I see them as a close friend and have told them this but now I worry that I may have been too quick to say this and she may now take advantage of the situation. My problem is working out if they are a true friend to me. Any advice would be welcome.

Hi. Thanks for the advice. I have one friend who I have worked with for a number of years, although the friendship has only really grown recently since I discovered that I probably have Aspergers and becuase of this have worked harder to improve the friendship as I realise I do lack some social skills. The same goes for my other friend I have known since secondary school. I have realised that to maintain a friendship you do have to put some effort in.

How you tell if somebody is a true friend. Does anybody have any advice when it comes to maintaining and growing a friendship?

Hi. Thanks for the advice and details of the books which I will explore further. I have a couple of friends at present and I am struggling to make sure that I don't do anything wrong to mess up the friendships I have.
-
Are their any unwritten rules when it comes to how often you should keep in contact with your friends or should you just go with the flow?
-
What about making friends at work. Is that a good idea?
-
Feeling insecure at present but not sure why. Does anybody have any advice on how to deal with this?
-
Hi. Thanks for the advice. My biggest problem is that I have a tendency to overthink things and worr too much.y
-
When I talk with friends / work colleagues I always seem to come out with inappropriate comments as a result of not thinking things through first. I realise this is probably part of the condition and something I need to work on. Has anybody else had experience of this / suggestions how I can modify my behaviour to stop it?

Internet dating websites. I struggle with face to face contact although I am getting better.

How can you tell if somebody wants to be friends with reyou? Can you tell from their body language?
-
Do you think I am worrying about this too much? Should I just go with the flow?
-
Normally yes. She seemed happy enough the last time we met for lunch.
-
I have a female friend I have known since Secondary School. What I find strange is that I always seem to be the one making contact. Is this normal or should I read more into it?
-
What I find most difficult is trying to make conversation with new people when I meet them, especially when I seem to struggle with reading body language. Does anybody have any tips for situations like this?
-
Thanks for all your help and advice. I appreciate it.
-
I have had difficulty since Secondary School making and building friendships, I think I can put this down to my Aspergers. How does an Adult with Aspergers make and build new friendships?

Thanks for all the advice. I suppose I get paranoid because I seem them on Facebook with their other friends and think why can I not have lots of friends like them. but as i read in a book recently friendship should be about quality not quantity.
