I dont have many friends in person but currently i have a friend i play with on xbox.
He's recently started playing with someone else (same game that he and i would). I feel jealous, left out, depressed by it.
Is this normal for someone with depression and possible autism? Im not saying he cant have other friends which is why im confused why i feel this way...

Hello! I wish I could offer you an answer because I have experienced the same thing. I often find that it seems my Xbox is where I go to socialize instead of the real world. I too get jealous of other people when I feel ignored. Is this friend an Xbox friend or someone you know IRL? Maybe check out Mixer, watching some games that interest you and you can find a new friend who you might want to game with that way. Although, watch someone with only a few viewers, not main streamers because they generally are a bit busy. As far as friends go, it seems a lot of people have more than a few, so I'm sure it's nothing personal. Take this opportunity to branch out and maybe you will find a few new friends of your own.
Best of Luck!
