| Thank you for all your comments. I really appreciate it. Thelibrarian - I agree with you on both count's. NT's make use of persona and so do I. I also agree that I you must be very careful about who you are open with. I like being open with people but I learnt social savy (the hard way) & know w... |

| Little bit of background... Hi I'm a 21 year old Aspie. It's been a messy very year & 1/2; between repeated physical injury, academic meltdown, social complications & more recently some mild depression. I think my current downward spiral was triggered by a growing issue which I was previous... |

| I find I'm the opposite. - I'm generally a lot more comfortable around guys. I have two younger sisters & was a closer to my mother prior to her passing away. I think I feel awkward around women for the following reasons. I'm just out of practice. Prior to college I was always in all boy's schoo... |

| Thanks Teredia you've given me an idea. I'm not religious per say but I do talk to my mom (we were close, she passed away in 2010). Sometimes I talk to her, and sometime she reply's (not sure if that's her or a mental construct of her in my head but either way she gives good advice) it's helped befo... |

| How comfortable are you with touching people? I wish you could tic a couple of options but that doesn't seem to be possible :?

| Hey guys I tend to waffle quite a lot so if you want the bottom line just read what's in bold. I've become a bit of a mess over the last few months and I now realize (after a WP member pointing it out to me) that I'm over-thinking. It seems so obvious now that my problem is over thinking , or experi... |

| Home can you summarize your book with one post? "I have made an effort to hang out outside of college but so far it hasn't worked out. I worry that if I keep pushing to meet up she will be uneasy because she thinks I’m looking for a g/f." I want to be open with her but my feeling aren’t clear and i... |

| Being attracted to girls based largely on their appearance has always come back to bite me in the ass. Were wired to like them (even baby's have been found to spend more time looking at physically attractive people) The problem is your so mesmerized you glaze over all their less desirable quality's.... |

| Good advice. However there is no one I am looking at romantically at the moment (thank god) one of the reason's I'm seeking female friends in to build up my maturity around women before I go for another relationship.

| "Now I am scared of losing this good friend to whom I got closer to over the past 6 months. But this is actually counter productive since I try too hard, I am too stressed and I probably hold too tight and scare the person away.
