| Hey guys. I have an update since I made the original post a few months ago. I ended up getting in the door at that station after all. They needed another person. But, I still felt isolated and out of place there. Fast forward to the end of February. One of the stations where I did my first internshi... |

| I have some good news. A second position opened up at the sister station. I am so happy. It's not at the place I wanted but, because I applied at the right time and there were two of us who applied, they had to go with me. Now, the position is not paid and it is a test run so, hopefully I won't scre... |

| Thank you all for responding. I still feel that my dream is not within reach. You all brought up some great points though. But, I feel that the system has not been able to help somebody like me. I have no money to seek out help for my mental health. Therefore, I feel that things will not get better.... |

| I have posted on the Haven many times before. Sometimes, I have received encouragement. Most times, I have not. I am doing this post to vent more than anything. Today, I went for a job interview. I am going to school for Radio. It's kind of ironic, isn't it? Someone who has horrible social skills wa... |

The eighties is one of my favourite decades for music. I used to hate 80's music until about high school when I fell in love with 80's Alternative music. |

| I have never been told that I was ugly to my face but, I have felt that vibe from girls I find attractive. I've been called "cute" or "a gentleman" many times but never "hot" or "sexy". I feel that because I have Asperger's, I feel and appear more ugly to the opposite sex and once I tell girls that ... |

I just have to think about the good things and realize that there is hope after all. I have to work on my depression ... |

| Thanks for the response but you guys don't get what I am saying at all. I don't care who she dates (I don't really know her). All that this does is it makes me realize that I cannot get a good looking girl if I tried. |

| I struggle with love and dating on a daily basis. I actually get more depressed over dating and not being in a relationship than social situations. I feel that my looks and my AS turns girls away. They cannot see me as a potential partner because I look "weird" and I'm "different". The only girls I ... |

| I was bullied in Elementary School and half-way through Middle School. After that, people either ignored me or were friends with me. I was teased by a few people in High School but it was not nearly as bad as Elementary School. |
