I've been really depressed lately and i hope i can find some people to talk to on here...
I have no idea wether I have Aspergers or not, but the description fits me pretty well.
I don't like being around people. I never know how to move, what to say, or what to do... I just never fit in, and people end up making fun of me most of the time. I simply can't feel comfortable unless I'm alone. The only guy i used to have fun talking to was an Internet friend (with Aspergers) who is now too busy to hang around on MSN or ventrilo and talk for four hours a day... I don't have any "real life" friends and spend all of my free time home alone.
I'm getting sick of this situation and really need to find some people i can talk to, and these forums seem like the right place to find people i might get alone with. Just send a private message if you'd like to add me to MSN.

I'm 19, by the way.

Welcome aboard Wrong Planet, Nebx. It's a pleasure to meet you. I agree with you about these WP forums being the right place to find people; and, I might add, to find very good and very understanding people. And I certainly wish you all the WP best. Take great care of yourself now, Nebx, and keep on hanging in there.

welcome. It's a possibility, but there's many ways to find out (online tests, doctors, etc). Whether you are or not, welcome.

Thanks for replying.

However, I really don't even want to know wether i really have Aspergers or not. All i know (and all i need to know) is that some of the "symptoms" of that condition fit me well and that i do get along really well with people who have Aspergers. The only people I ever enjoyed talking to had it. And it felt so nice talking to them simply because I could just tell that they didn't give a damn about the things that make people laugh at me and say i'm a weirdo. I'm mainly here to find more people like that.

Hello.
Welcome.

Sorry to hear that you've been feeling depressed, things haven't been all that easy for me either. Try and smile though :D .

My family and I don't really like being around people either, so you're not alone in that department. We hardly like being around ourselves! 8O We get by with dark humour knowing that we're all stuck together whether we like it or not. There's no room for soppy heart to heart sentimentality in my house! :lol: We never know what to say or do together, or with other people for that matter: it's a shambles! That's why we each like being alone so much.

I agree with the above sentiment. Even after years of AS therapy and counseling, no-one really knows for sure if I have AS either. I and they don't really want to know either! :?

I know it's often hard to do, but ignore anyone who calls you weird. That's their problem, not yours. They are the people that are truly "disorderly" and antisocial in my opinion. They may be feeling insecure and very shallow minded. Perhaps there should be a dx called "extreme intolerance disorder", for people who can't accommodate others differences and feel the insatiable urge to hurl needless abuse at people?

Fitting in does have it's draw-backs, one being peer pressure another having to wear silly clothes just to be accepted. My family say that socialising is terribly overrated because people fall out with each other, scream and get upset. They'd say that people who don't go in for that stuff like going out aren't missing out on much at all. That's just their opinion though. They value independence and self reliance more.

[quote="Nebx"I don't have any "real life" friends and spend all of my free time home alone. [/quote]

That describes me down to a tee.
I now have zero real life friends.
Join the club mate! :D
