| Hi folks, after starting university I started making some friends and things were looking better for me socially. It didn't take long though, before I realised that one of my new friends, a guy who's really popular with other students, appeared to detest autistic people and calling everyone he didn'... |

| In recent times, I've become a lot more reluctant to be around people or engaging in meaningful things, as repeated social failures have made me develop social anxiety out of fear of committing even further such social faux pas. This is something I consider quite rational, as I've time after time re... |

| Something that I have learned about myself is that my sense of humor, my jokes, and my pranks are are outright horrible. I enjoy being social, and I have friends that I do things with and I talk with. However, I feel that my ability to develop a true, "deep" friendship, or romantic relatio... |

| Thank you. I have always been doing well in school. However, good academic results only matter on the labour market. In the social life, people don't care whether you're a high school dropout or attending Harvard. |

| My biggest dream is that I could tell I'm an aspie to all acquaintances I have, and that would make them understand me and see me in a more positive light. However, my biggest fear is that I do tell them, but that they then see me as a weirdo they don't want to be around or trust at all, and I end u... |

| Surely it has something to do with my personality, but I have absolutely no idea why... Wherever I go, people bond and form friendships, despite me trying to do all the same things as them, without being too pushy. Time after time, person after person never laughs at my jokes, listens to what I'm sa... |

| Words can't describe how terrible I feel right now. I have for years struggled with being ignored, rejected and occasionally bullied by some of the people I thought were my friends and ideally would have been my friends. For a long time, I've had the notion that I mean something to someone, only to ... |

| In my community, I never hear Aspergers being talked about in favorable terms. The only times it comes up are when people describe someone who acts extremely oddly or carelessly ("he has to have Aspergers or something") and the only person who actually has Asperger most people know is a gu... |

| Tomorrow will be a huge milestone in my life, no matter how weird it might sound. For the first time ever, I'll be spending the night with a really hot girl home alone and probably have sex. It's been a huge issue for me and for long period of time I saw prostitutes as the only way to not remain vir... |

Thing is that I have quite a lot of acquaintances, but nobody who would want to spend an evening just with me, go travelling with me and there is definitely not anyone who would want to spend their life with me, not tha... |

| Whatever the Aspie does, the NT will always win. It doesn't matter whether you are better qualified, more experienced, you have a better attitude and work ethic, the NT always gets the job. We live in a society which values friendship and the ability to suck up to superiors more than actual skills. ... |

| With most NTs, the first meeting of two people is the bottom from which the relationship just gets better and better until it becomes a close friendship, intimate relationship or just an acquaintance you get well along with. With me however, I feel that I usually make a good first impression with pe... |
