| I have been told by women I'm average looking (I actually might be less than that). I always have wondered if I were hot and still an Aspie, if I would be more successful than if I were average/mediocre looking and an NT.

| I've had the first problem too, don't get me wrong. And I have had friends on some occasions, but a lot of times people I know (usually I work with them) will have things and never include me. They will notice, on occasion, it bothers me, ask me what's wrong, and when I tell them, include me in some... |

That happens to me too, except they rarely invite me in the first place. Usually I tag along once or twice and then stop hearing from them.
As a result, I just avoid social things alltogether. |

| I have a good work history. A movie theater job for 8 years; TJ Maxx for 10 years; and Samsung for 2. I do have trouble moving up in jobs and relating with co-workers. I'd like to think I'm getting better. |

| I hate it at situations like that. I have mentioned before it hurts my feelings that I am not invited a lot, but I'd rather not attend then go and be ignored. Any advice on approaching groups of people like that? |

| It enrages me severely that a lot of social cues and such don't apply to me and other aspies. As mentioned in an earlier post, they really hold me to a much harder standard. |
