Hello Wrong Planet

Post Reply New Topic

Hello everyone. I've lurked for a while, but only started swimming in the deep-end and posting this week. It's comforting to read about other people's misery. Nice to see the wealth spread around.

I've been dealing with Asperger's all my life, and what a rotten and painful life it has been. I can only sigh when I read posts written by people half my age that are wrestling with romance and dating related issues. All too familiar. They're awful to deal with because they take all of our insecurity, uncertainty, and fear of rejection and focus it like a laser beam at our weakest places.

Fearing loneliness just as much as the alternatives to loneliness is a terrible position to find yourself in. It's probably something that will haunt all of us for the rest of our lives and it isn't fair. But neither is the world, so I think it's important to learn how to deal with your limitations on your own terms and in a way that protects you. I've found that a sense of humor, a good mix of meds, and an ability to look at yourself objectively are also helpful.

Best wishes to everyone.

Nice to meet you, Kurt.

I'm Jerry.

Welcome,

And where is TIM?

Welcome Kurt,

I have never beat Tim_Tex on the welcome thread. He is human, or a power failure.

I am older, never outgrew AS, but outgrew people, it works the same, my happiness is my problem.

Lots of people here dealing with what they are not, and some dealing with what they are.

We do have our good points.

Welcome Kurt. I see what you're all saying. I get depressed far to often for my taste. In fact, the name of the website I think says it all. I do my best to co-exist with people who expect me to be different, and get as much joy as I can out of things. Good luck, and good to meet you.

Hi Kurt,

Welcome to WP

I can understand what you are feeling. But i'm sure after posting here, life wont feel as lonely.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Tim, where are you?
