For me, things kept getting worse over the years because I thought I was normal. The harder I pushed myself, the worse I got. The worse I got, the more I pushed. I was in a vicious cycle until I got to the point I simply couldn't function.

I thought I was normal and could do what normal people do. It was confusing and frustrating.

Since I have learned that I have Asperger's, I have stopped pushing myself, and allowed myself to withdraw, and things are finally getting better. The only problem is that I still crave human interaction, so the loneliness can be crushing at times.

Here we can be alone together.
You might generate some more interaction by making it public what some of your interests are.
