| I work the door at a bar checking IDs & I've tried all types of diversion tactics to avoid hearing how quiet I am. I have basically just come up with 'I'm just a quiet person' which gets me my best avoidance of retorts. I really feel NTs just are used to one another's empty greetings like "what... |

| I'm so quiet for a number of reasons. Let's look back at my life: Pre-schooler: It was hard to adjust since most of the children were already in full time daycare Elementary school: I was so far ahead academically and did not follow the crowd. For example, when we were asked to draw the sun everyon... |

| OK, now I am a little pissed off! I was really excited about meeting everyone, but now I am stuck in A&E. While cycling to the station my chain came off as I started to pedal hard. I flew over the handle bars and badly hurt my hands, knee and shoulder. I hope someone gets this message before the... |

| It is funny to think that there are, what 7 billion people on this planet (the right and wrongplanet), but only a handful do become really good friends. Finding friends, good ones and acquaintances requires time, especially socialising time. No wonder it is hard work to make friends as Aspies. The b... |

| It is normal for people in your situation to be paranoid and be overwhelmed by the negative worsening thoughts that run through your mind when people stare, and it will ruin your day out and prevent you from having fun. But just one thing to remember, when people look at you, 9 times out of 10 they... |

| Each time my family plans an outing that sounds exciting, I find myself backing out because of the social anxieties I suffer with. I think having less good social skills than everybody else is actually the thing that makes me anxious too, because I want to talk to people but yet know I'm not able t... |

| Yeah, that was my life until I was taken out of highschool. In the 6th grade my mom even had me throw a Halloween party and invite people, some came but then I was never invited to another party before or after and I think I invited everyone in class. Always felt excluded from stuff and like a outc... |
