Can someone help me? I'm very depressed.

Hey, I know exactly what you went through.

I have Asperger's, but also ADHD and Depression.
I've never even had a girlfriend myself. I've never been able to ask or have even been asked. I don't know why. Maybe I'm just ugly or maybe because I have aspergers.
This is the main problem - not able to understand and interpret other people's thoughts, feelings and behavior.
That girl with the email. That's happened to me several times. One girl emailed on facebook that she was continuously raped by her brother and father. Another girl at school was consistently being bullied at school for being short, and when I stood up for her I got laughed at. Others at school I hardly knew who taunted me horrendously come up to me in random situations (recess, on the street, the bus, etc.) and talk to me as if I'm their best friend.
There seems to be some sort of unwritten law nobody told me about, but social interaction seems to majorly be made up of getting into fads you're not interested in to talk about them to other people, and, making fun of each other for their faults. That's not how my mind works. If I think something is stupid/boring/lame like gangster rap or the power rangers, then I don't get into them. And when someone has a fault I don't expose it.
That guy harassing you. He's just a confused a**hole taking out his own personal issues on you because he sees you as an easy target. I just try to ignore them and pretend not to be interested in anything they say or do. I doubt he's even gay.
What's f****d up is that many relationships seem to revolve around indulging in cruelty - in one form or another. Whether it be gossip, making fun of a bad movie, taunting another sports team, drinking, making sexual comments about women, smoking, doing drugs, gambling, risk taking, versus mode - all stem from benefiting yourself at the cost of others. I've sadly had to indulge in these practices just to pretend to be normal, and I don't enjoy it. I don't want to make someone else feel bad at my gain! I don't even tell my family or what little friends I have - or even my psychiatrist that I'm depressed because I don't want them to feel bad.
All I want to do is scream at people when I know they're at fault (being rude, lazy, inconsiderate), but I don't because whenever I do something that seems remotely independent due to my own decisions and thought processes, they just sum it up to "Oh, he's autistic. What he thinks doesn't apply to us."
I'm just sick of it all. I don't want to be normal, and I don't want to be treated like everyone else. I just want to be understood. That's all anyone wants.
