Do you socialize in real-life with others who have the same mental issues as you?

Can't find anyone with autism near me. So, just stay all alone all the time.

I guess? I don't have any major issues but I am anxious quite often and have a tendency to exhibit symptoms of hypomania. I've met others with the same issues. But I don't seek them

No, the only person I ever see is my friend who definitely doesn't have the same problems I do.

Yeah, I think just because two people have the same issues, won't necessarily make them bond more easily, in fact, it might make things more difficult.

No I can't find anyone to openly talk about anxiety in person.

My BF has similar issues. His actually are worse as he has to be medicated. But we relate to each other

I have a few aquaintances I keep in touch with fromf my support group. I don't know why I keep them at an arms length though. I am afraid of developing a closer bond of actual friendship.

Yes. In fact, I won't allow anybody close to me that doesn't either have similar mental health issues as me or has an open mind and strong understanding of mental illnesses and human behavior in general.
