Hi I'm new. And weird. Though I guess here I'm just regular.

Sooooooooo what's up? I have a tendency to give up my whole life story within minutes of meeting someone, so why treat this post as any different? I am a 31 year old teacher in NYC and I have both Asperger's Syndrome and BPD. If you're wondering what it's like to have both of these conditions, just imagine being liton fire and then diving head-first into a pool of gasoline. BPD involves a constant fear of social abandonment. Asperger's Syndrome involves making huge social missteps that cause frequent social abandonment. It sounds like fun stuff, I know...

I'm not trying to say my life is harder than anyone else's, however. I am very high functioning and my IQ is one standard deviation above the average bracket, so I am blessed in a ton of ways. But. This colorful cocktail of neurological and psychological conditions is driving me insane.

Notable areas of stress:
1. If you're my friend, and you don't talk to me for 1 week...that's it. That alone is stressful as f**k.
2. If we're new friends, and you don't respond to my most recent text...
3. You're a woman of relative attractiveness and come within 10 feet of me...
4. Dating. Nuff said.
5. Asking someone to hang-out...
6. Texting anyone for any reason and them not responding immediately...
7. ALL OF THE ABOVE except I actually said something awful and the person is actually pissed off, but also too proud of uncomfortable to tell me exactly what it is that I did...

Hey cash4ham welcome.

Welcome. I also have BPD and Asperger's, and it's certainly no walk in the park. Hope you find what you're looking for here at WP!

Welcome indeed. Weird is good. AS & BPD are a wicked combo, though.

Hi this my first time I feel very the same don't like when people don't respond to me. I know how you feel.
