Any advice please on how to get my extroverted mother to accept I’m an introvert?
I haven’t had a friend of any kind for over 5 years, and before that I still was on a habit of not having a friend for two or less years; making a friend, and then the friendship ended on a bad note. I accept it was my fault at times.
I don’t see a point in friends, but my mum is convinced I’m ruining my teen years by spending them alone. She tells me she can’t be my only best friend, and I know that. I don’t consider her a best friend but she thinks we also are alongside mother and son.
She’s convinced herself I have ASD, but it’s stressing me out because I’ve told her again and again I’m just an introvert. I don’t know how to make friends and I don’t want to make friends. Nothing is working and we get into bad arguments about my lack of social life.
What should I do?
