I sometimes think: why would anyone want to be my friend? I am very quiet, afraid and crying for whatever reason ...
for now, I am seeking the courage to approach people to befriend. When I remember some people looking at me with the look of one who says you're weird, I feel that maybe other people look at me like that and so I avoid looking them in the eye.
but you see, how can I make friends if not look people in the eye? I thought I'd explain to them that I have APD, but do not know if I would feel comfortable to establish a friendship with the person. I do not want to talk to me for pity nor want the person to leave me because of the APD also.
