| Thanks for sharing your experience, it is comforting to read about other's experiences. I am quite well adjusted here, I think because I'm an aspie. I may miss or not know a lot of social "rules", but that was also the case in my home country and here I have the advantage of blaming it on ... |

| And what if you suck at all of those things? Memorizarion and studying are kind of ok but that's it for me, I'm even slower than the average. I agree about the second part, the problem here is that I like languages but except words memorization I'm terrible at it, I speak awfully. So what if you su... |

| I know from experience it can be depressing. Especially since it's possible that people might not like "the real you" once they get to know you. But as you said, who you are is okay. You shouldn't have to change yourself to make people like you. You should find people who like you for who... |

| Intelligence is abstract, depends on what you are measuring. Social skills, math, language, art... there are hundreds of things a human can do, and not two can do the same. I've also come to the realization the only truly "smart" person is the one that can find some satisfaction and purpos... |

| I never spoke as an adult with my dad, but I don't think he is that smart. Neither is my mom, at least when it comes to IQ. Both me and my sis are pretty smart and a bit mentally unstable, though. |

| Your weight does not define your value. I won't change how much of a woman you are, nothing or no one can change that. There are women clothes in all sizes, but you will still be you in a skirt or in a pair of pants. No one that cannot see beyond how you look on the outside will truly love you, no m... |

| I am on the spectrum, I am demisexual. With time and dedication I might start feeling romantic attraction, and maybe, after more time I might develop some kind of sexual attraction for that person. As it is "only when the stars align" kind of deal it has only happened once. |

| On rare occasions, if I'm very excited or nervous I do hand flap. I don't like doing it in front of others, I try to keep my stims small or hidden in public. I prefer to rock back and forth and side to side more anyways, that is the one hard to control for me. |

| Diazepam is the only med that has worked for me, and not for regular taking. None of the antidepressants or anti anxiety meds that I've tried have helped more than the harm they did, most just didn't work at all. Weed does it for me. There is no magical drug, wish this wasn't true. |

While meeting people is key, you have to keep attending an interest group that you love and get busy in the interests and the activities because the more you attend, the more the other people are going to be interested in you. It will click on it's own. H... |

Since I moved away my old friendships have mostly faded and I am incapable of making new real friends. It is not a matter of trying,... |

| I have a radar for neurodivergent people. My friends often have autism, tourettes, adhd or have some mental health issues. I find it kind of funny, as I don't actively seek that kind of people but find them anyways. |
