Relationships in general seem to be too difficult to form and keep. For years before I was diagnosed I had this problem. It's easy for me to get along with most people, but I never extend myself enough to take what are "acquaintances" to the next step and create real friendships. I tend to live through my family. When my daughter & wife form friendships with families uI make the most of those. But those are really their friends and I'm just along for the ride. It's sad to regularly think and accept that I have no close friends aside from family. It's lonely.
