| Hi. I have a lot of experience with addiction/obsessive behaviours and also anxiety and fear. It seems to me that your biggest issue is maybe not so much internet addiction as it is fear of the outside world. In my experience the only way to deal with any fear is to expose myself to what it is I’m a... |

| That's funny, because I never met anybody else who was like that until now. People here are often talking about new shows or movies. And they are always things that I don't watch. I am really very stubborn when it comes to stuff like that. I have a whole list of types of things that I just refuse t... |

| I've only recently self diagnosed myself so still discovering what's what... I identify massively with much of the criteria; most notably the social difficulties and the reciprocation issues. I watch the way others interact and naturally socialise and chat with each other (and seem to want to rather... |

| Haha... I really struggle with this but hadn't cottoned on until recently. When someone smiles at me it seems I have to notice the smile, process it, think "They're smiling at me; better smile back". By the time that laborious process is through with the other person thinks either I don't ... |

| Hi, I’m not really qualified to give any advice but I can share my own experience. I used to walk out of jobs all the time. The ‘noise’ of my own thoughts and feelings in my head would become overwhelming and I’d run. I’d leave wherever I was and I’d seek refuge in some behaviour or another; alcohol... |

| I can relate to what’s being said. I’ve been described as a “closed book” and “difficult to get to know”. I don’t understand why, but I’m aware from other people’s view that this is reality. It seems I communicate differently from ‘normal’ people and ‘normal’ people don’t quite get me, just as I don... |

| I’ve never been in a proper relationship. I attracted many young ladies when I was younger but I seemed to back away at the moment it was to become a relationship, and I never understood why. Now? I can’t imagine myself in a relationship. I don’t think I’m capable of forming a relationship with some... |

| Hi, I can really identify with the things you’re saying, and I’m currently seeking a diagnosis myself. I too recognise that in some respects it makes no difference. I am who I am and have to accept myself as I am regardless of what names I do or don’t put to it. But then I’d like to understand mysel... |

| Hi, I'm not qualified to give you any advice but I can relate some of my own experience, and this may help. I’ve struggled massively with life; never felt I’ve fitted in, always felt that ‘something is missing’ and feel as if the rest of the population was given a manual at birth on how to live life... |
