Hello

I decided to come on this site after having some self esteem issues. I'm not diagnosed aspergers or autistic, but I've got a good deal of problems that I'm sure I have. I was diagnosed with ADD when I was a kid, I used to have OCD on and off for many years (not lately), I'm very introverted, avoidant, don't really talk to anyone, and I have learning difficulties. I've had those since I was a kid. I can't say that I have very bad problems with that but it affects my life quite a bit. I was promoted to a job a couple years ago that I couldn't handle, stepped down and my self esteem took a serious blow. My job is stressful at times because I have a hard time understanding directions. I've picked up other hobbies that have went no where because I'm not good at them, I pretty much do nothing but sit around and play video games (which are also frustrating) and read books. Anyway, nice to meet everyone.

Nice to meet you and welcome to Wrong Planet! Hope this site helps with your self-esteem!

Welcome to WP! Hope you enjoy it here.

Hey RedPill56 welcome.

Hi Redpill56, I have never found a hobby that I was good at either. I like bird watching and hanging feeders around the yard to attract them. But I don't know if you can quantify how good you are at birdwatching. I like reading too. I tried several musical instruments but could master none, tried out for choir in college and didn't make the cut, my mom tried to teach me sewing and knitting but that went no where and she would just give up trying to teach me out of frustration. So I guess since I am not good at anything, that my hobbies are just things I enjoy like the bird watching, kayaking, camping, visiting National Parks, and jet skiing. Yes, I am 63 years old and I love jet skiing (I could never pull myself up when I tried water skiing) And all those things I enjoy don't involve other people, except maybe my husband. So I hope you can find something you enjoy that it doesn't matter if you are good at it or not. I hope your job stress eases up. I like listening to the music of Tim Janis too. He's an Amercian composer, lives n Maine and produces very soothing music. You might want to try Googleing him and see what you think of his music. Nice to meet you too!
