I guess if I could only pick ONE thing that bothers me the most about myself, it would have to be feeling disconnected from everything all the time. It's almost like I'm stuck between or behind some invisible layers of an energy force that kind of mottles or veils the life before me, so I never quite see life for exactly how it is. I feel like I'm two steps behind everyone.

This is exactly how I feel most of the time and I know it's due to my totally distorted social skills that only get slightly better with age.

I have this exact same feeling all the time, but it's not just lack of social skills. It is the same even when I'm home alone or driving in the car.

But, my number one problem (that has to do with me, not counting problems that exist because of other people) would have to be the challenges with organization. It takes me far too long to figure out how to properly handle all of my physical stuff, and this problem is greatly amplified now because I have a 4 year old hurricane son who spends most of his time throwing everything everywhere and damaging and destroying things.

Anyone not answer the phone or if you do, you're completely annoyed?

I'll answer it 100% of the time for my husband. Otherwise I avoid it 99% of the time. Only on very rare occasions will I pick up before I filter through the answering machine. I am not pleasant when it's a telemarketer or someone trying to sell crap. I've never had them call twice

I have the same invisible bubble wrapped around me all the time too, it's just that it's ultra-apparent in social situations (even here on Wrong Planet sometimes). Consequently, I tend to believe that it's my social skills which are at fault for my infinite feeling of being 'a square peg in a round hole.'

Feeling that 'the man' lol or some 'force' is deliberately stopping me from being rewarded for the things I do.
God that must sounds like paranoia.
Particularly in a social sense...

Constant struggle to feign NT and constant failure.

What's the main thing you deal with daily - since day one? What's that one thing that keeps on coming up? For me it's patience and endurance - then I get frantic and frustrated - i.e. meltdown time. :cry:

Probably not being able to make friends or even have normal conversations.

I've suddenly lost control of my bowels, just last December due to years of straining, to avoid an accident. I think that the social rejection that I've dealt with through Elementary and High School might have had something to do with this, as well.

I'll go with Sartre: Hell is other people.

Even as a teen I found myself envying Charlton Heston in "The Omega Man". I'd gladly put up with a few zombies if I didn't have to deal with neighbours, employers etc.

My complete disorganisation is my biggest problem.

Social anxiety, although I'm dealing much better with it after just finding out that there IS an explanation for my strange assortment of weaknesses and strengths. Before I read about AS, I really thought I was losing my mind.
