Not sure if right sub. I end up spending a lot of time alone due to being autistic/adhd and having one friend who isn’t always available. This is fine so i have learned to enjoy my own company over the years and would rarely let on to new people how alone I really am. However I live in shared housing now and my housemate has caught on that I never hang out with people and has been trying to tell me how I need a big ‘network’ of people like him. 

Of course it would be nice to have maybe one other friend but I don’t get on well with many people and would never force a friendship. 

He said it sounds bad but knowing lots of people can be useful. To me that just sounds so bad like using people. He also says I need to go to a rave and take drugs which will open my mind. I thought this person was my friend but it upsets me when he says these things because I don’t understand why he can’t like me how I am and is trying to change me.
