i'm a 23 year old male living in the pittsburgh area, i've read several posts on here before, which compelled me to register. i have asperger's, no job, and am not indepent. i have a small social circle, but they all are (give or take a few years) at least 10 years my senior. saturday is usually the one night a week i can get out of the house and socialize, since i don't drive. i don't look people in the eye, even my mother gets a 3 second glance at best. i feel trapped in a mental paradox. i want to get out and at least get a job, but manage to talk myself out of it within 5 minutes. i've always wanted a girlfriend, but i'm abysmal at small talk (actual conversations are a little different) and not very facially expressive (being fat doesn't help, either).
I love video games and music, and my favorite weekend activity is to hit a karaoke bar and relish in the surprise when people see the quiet, distant-looking, fat kid in glasses sing songs like "wanted dead or alive" as if he became a whole different person.
that's the basics of my life in a nutshell. So hi everyone
