    You’ll hate having fun less if you have fun more.

    I’m literally on the spectrum and being around people can be the exhausting, but it’s still a good habit to say yes more, because you will genuinely enjoy those experiences, and your life, more as you engage more.

      I’m also autistic and I have tried saying yes to things, but I just don’t enjoy it.

      Friends are mainly just extra effort that I don’t have the time or energy for. I have one, and my dogs, and I don’t feel I need anything more than that.

      Now I just work from home and only have to see coworkers every six months or so for an office visit. It’s pretty great.

      Whilst I respect your experiences, they’re not a universal truth for everyone.
