I feel the same. I often feel that NTs are "reading between lines" and coming up with explanations for my behavior that I would not agree with. I think they're picking up on my emotions and putting far more emphasis on that than what I actually say. But my emotions are all over the place because I don't know how to control them. So I might come off as anxious and shaky because I'm preoccupied, they pick up on it instantly, and then when I say someone that I thought was innocent, they reply in a way that ties it into how anxious I am, almost like they know my emotional state better than I do.

Sometimes I'm able to think about myself the way others must think of me, and I understand why they call me weird, but I still can't change.

Same here. When I'm honest and direct, people always doubt me and look for some hidden meaning. But I make the mistake of reverting to the NT way of communicating, and this confuses them even more.

I have no real life friends.

There are one or two people I chat to online now and then but that is it. Unfortunately I don't like spending a lot of time on my computer.

I tend to use the computer in the library more than the one I have at home as I like to be out and about a lot and the library has lots of free books about all sorts of things to read in.

I prefer books to electronic reading machines and google thank you. I don't want a kindle.
