All through school I was never able to have a girlfriend for more than two weeks, they'd always dump me for a cooler friend....still don't make friends easily...they always turn into predators who want something from me, or want me to do something for them, but they don't want my friendship...maybe my standards of what I think friendship is, is too high...I do have great penpals though, of people I've never met in person...and about 5 friends in real life, and a wonderful relationship with my daughter--my only child, whom I raised alone. |
i can relate to the high standards thing. I feel like i have high standards myself especially when i look at the people that claim to have multiple amounts of freinds ; when i look at some of their freinds i can see that they have low standards of whom their freinds are . I've lowered my standards just to conform but its not worth it in the longrun from what i've learned.
Anyways sticking to subject, i noticed my socail life sucked when i had to give up my imaginary freinds. I was 11 years old, i probally would have seemed very psychotic or weird if i kept them  |

| Definitely middle school. I can remember talking to my dad about how I didn't have any friends when I was 12. I also remember my mom asking me why I didn't have any friends when I was 10. It devastated me when she asked me; the next day I went to school and tried to make a friend, which turned out horribly. |

| When I was in High School. People tease me because I'm extremely emotional, and because I like supposedly wierd things. Its gotten to the point that none of my freinds really know what I like, apart from the obvious stuff I can't hide. Now whenever people ask me, I tell them I'm a loner. |

While I wouldn't say my social life sucks, it certainly has been atypical. : )
I used to dig up rocks by myself in the corner of the playground in elementary school. As far as I can remember, people ignored me for the most part. Then my first friend thought she was a witch. That was fun. |

| My parents began to let me know that my social life sucked when I was 5. They got mad at me for not having more friends. I had to pretend to have friends so that they would not get angry. |

I think I noticed that I wasn't popular before then, but I didn't realized just how much socializing outside of school that the other kids were doing until I was about 14. As a matter of fact, it wasn't until recently that I realized that other kids probably hung out after school almost everyday, and that's only because my 9 year old NT daughter never seems to be short on social invites. |
Yeah, It shocked me too initially - It still depresses me when people make friends so fast, like there are some people at work, and already half the people have their phone numbers! I mean, I find it kinda, impossible, that that could happen :/ |

Social life? 
I don't think I've ever really had one.

I was always kind of "different" since I was in 1st grade; but nobody started picking on me heavily until 5th Grade. I had my first bully and a bully just about every year after that until I went to a different school. Worst was 7th grade. One girl was merciless to me.
I was definitely a big loner, I would only make friends with other loners and nerds because they were the only people that seemed nice. Hence that stereotyped me as well.
I would ask other people why no one liked me and such. Some would say that I look "angry" or that I'd bury myself in my walkman and not socialize.
I always liked adults better since they seemed less judgemental. Teachers usually helped me I only had one or two jerks.
When I switched schools I started deliberately "smiling" a lot. It was so obnoxious because I didn't feel it but at least no one thought I was an angry b*** anymore simply because I wasn't constantly smiling. |

Elementary to high school, I knew I was a loner and wasn't happy. By mid high school to now, I've stopped caring about having a social life.

So really the first moment I ventured out of the home environment and into the big wide world on my own.
I felt out of my depth from that moment on.

Middle school, I think. There were some boys who sort of teased me but I just ignored them completely. Outside of school, though, I never had much of a social life, period. My parents actually wished that I'd go out more often, while other parents wished that their kids would go out less often!
