Need Acceptance :(

Post Reply New Topic

So hi...I'm a teenage aspie who has a hard time fitting in anywhere. Most of my classmates reject me or don't wish to get to know me better. So I think I will get more acceptance here. I feel like you will understand me better and accept me as one of the group. After all, that's all I ever wanted but could never really have.

About me personally: I have a deep love for computers and operating systems. That's all I'll say...unless you want more. ^_^

Welcome!

Welcome to WrongPlanet

Hope that you do indeed fit in here and enjoy your time here
My door is always open if it doesn't happen to come to fruition, but if you post a few times others here should be fairly accepting .

Thanks. I'm so tired of being rejected; it feels good to have friendly people tell you yes.

Of course we want more Magicbus.
By the way, a deep love of computers should help you find a useful career in your future and end up with you surrounded by other aspies.

Don't take this the wrong way, but there isn't a group here. Believe me, I've been chipping in from time to time for years and years and years and I've never had a meaningful conversation with anyone. Mind you, the rest of my life follows a similar pattern.

It is good to know that there are other people in the world who battle the same sorts of deficiencies and prejudices as I do, but it saddens me that I'm just as much an outsider here as I am in the physical world.

Peterd: What would constitute a meaningful conversation?

Hi, I'm new here to. Actually this is my first post. kinda hit me because highschool was hell for me for probly the same reasons. I actually still hate my old highschool... But i learned a few tricks, and after i got out of highschool i kept gaining friends, and people wanted to get to know me, usually me before any of my friends. Maybie its that highschool is about trying to be a carbon copy of eatchother so that the only interesting thing is someone differnt, and real life after highschool is about being and seeing differnt things, so the biggest thing of interest is someone or something differnt. After all, 4 years and you run out of conversation topics about how you all like the same thing.

I found that if i follow 2 simple words "f*ck it" and do whatever i feel like, i gain friends, lessen the stress symptoms of aspergers, and confidence. takes 3-6 months to work :p

To WrongPlanet!! !

Welcome!

I'm new on here as well. This will be my third post. I completely understand where you are coming from. I also agree with ShadeX; It gets better after high school, although it might take a while. In my case, high school was a nightmare. Not only was I not diagnosed, but I had no concept of Aspergers. I could never understand what I was doing wrong, and had no friends to speak of. In my case, people that didn't know me would often approach me with ease, and more often than not a short term friendship would get my hopes up. But before long, I would again be alienated. Not rudely, people would just sort of fade out, stop responding, stop inviting, basically disappear...

I did start making friends after high school, but they were the wrong type of friends. Some good did come of it though, as through these friends I met better friends, and eventually made some "real" friends who were actually supportive, fun, interesting, good people. Despite everything that happened before, I feel lucky to have had such a great life. But at the time, I felt exactly like you. Hang in there.

I'm also a programmer. I'm currently traveling the world with my girlfriend. Just spent three months in Prague, currently in Istanbul, and in July I move on to Greece. Programming is a great career for "people like us." (I have only been on this forum for one day, so it feels weird to catagorize like this. I'm also a NT poser/Aspie closet case, only recently having decided to confront this rather than dodge it.) But it's true. I work mostly online, though contract, and develop software for many different types of systems. Currently, I am building iPad and iPhone apps for a large corporate client. I love it. I can totally immerse myself in it for hours, finding clever ways to accomplish tasks, building slick interfaces, I'm sure you get the picture. I also get to travel, which is a lot of fun. But there are still drawbacks, relationship struggles, and so on...

Anyway, my point is that if you want to talk, please feel free to contact me as well. I'm excited to finally start meeting people that truly understand the struggles...so feel free to vent!

Welkome to WP.
