But I'm not the sort of girl to be fanatic about clothes. I know some typical girls of my age and younger who can't resist buying something each time they set foot in any clothes shop. They act like they have no self-control, as though buying clothes is a serious addiction. I do wish I was more like that. I think my mum would be happier, being so she likes clothes shopping herself and would love a daughter who loves clothes shopping too, and having shopping sprees together. But instead I go around with a bored, sulky look on my face, looking beyond everything I see and not paying attention to the clothes in the shops. If I am in a good mood and can focus more on clothes, it still doesn't feel natural to me, and I kind of get embarrassed, for explainable reasons.
Also I have a friend who likes to go into every charity shop in town, and there's about 8 or 9 charity shops. I find charity shops rather boring. A quick five minutes in a charity shop is fine with me, but my friend takes ages. She looks at each item of clothing one by one on nearly every rail, then starts looking at clothes she doesn't even like or wouldn't wear, making me wonder if she's forgotten that time exists, or if she's delibrately wasting time. I get bored easily in shops. I like a quick whip in and out, just skim my eyes on the items rather than just standing there gazing at stuff, and I believe that you can spot things just as easily when skimming through, then stopping to specifically look at things only that catch your eye.
I just shop online. I know my measurment for the shops so yes, shopping online is much easier in my opinion.

People like that scare me. Especially with they ask me "Isn't this/that so me?!". How the hell am I suppose to know?

Fashion sense didn't come to me naturally. It's like social skills, has to be learned the hard way. When I decided to dress nicely 3 years ago I had to read a lot of things and study people and their clothes. For an aspie, once you treat it as an interest it suddenly IS interesting. 
After I've learned enough I'm dressing my whole family much better. I still won't wear uncomfortable stuff, of course.
I do a lot of online shopping. Don't like spending hours trying stuff on either. Thank goodness I'm a very standard size and it's easy to order things from everywhere.

I know my size so I think there's no need to shop in-store. The only I thing I try on in store are jeans and pants.
