Wow, there are so many things on here that are so weirdly relatable. Nice to know there are so many other people that don't think like they're "supposed" to think.
Anyway,
I'm not diagnosed with anything/never been seen by anyone to diagnose me with anything. No plans to get diagnosed.
38, male, history of avoiding people, extreme shyness, feelings of not belonging, misfit, never had friends, never really felt comfortable around anyone where I could be myself (whoever that is?), only been with two women (both of them asked me out) and both ended up in long term relationships 10years/2years, live alone, am lonely, currently employed as a cable guy, find myself quite content in routines, and dislike changing them, uncoordinated, and have always walked "weird", I've never really been interested in much, mountain biking, and jeeps are the only two things I've really ever liked, I'm an expert at neither! My last ex worked with autistic children, and suggested to me that I might have Asperger's. That was two years ago, and finally, a week ago, I come here................she might have been onto something! LOL
My job has me out and about meeting new people every day, and it's soooo draining. It's so weird to want to be around people, and want to connect, but to feel so out of place when it's actually happening.
Thanks for letting me read about your stories.
