You're right, this is similar to the later-posted "neckbeard" thread. Only, the way I would respond to your thread is more about people minimizing my issues.

People always seem to think I am more high functioning than I am. And when I try to explain why I am really impaired, the conversation degenerates into my explaining, no I'm not as accomplished and together as you think I am, here's how screwed up I am... And then I have to sit there and explain all those crippling things that they failed to notice.

Who needs that kind of conversation?

I have had those problems. I seem more high-functioning than I am, I struggle to show my stress. I try to explain my problems but things don't always go so well. :(

Yeh, each time I tried to seek for some help, I was being told that I'm only exaggerating... Some people are just so ignorant...
