New and probably won't make any friends

Post Reply New Topic

I will probably say a lot of harsh things. Things I would never say in the real world. Like I never do these "hi im new" cause I think they are generally pretty stupid.
I was not sure if I belonged in this group. I took the aspie test which was posted and got a score of 140 so I am thinking maybe I am not too far off.
I am 59. I had never heard the word 'asperger' until two weeks ago. I always thought if I ever met a psychic the only question I would ever ask is, "what is it I am suppose to know and don't". After reading about asperger's, I felt like the question was answered.
All my life I have felt I was on the wrong planet. I was the office space cadet; the one with no friends, even online as I just don't 'get' the chatroom social rules; the one who fell down or bumped into furniture or dropped, spilled and could make a mess faster than ten toddlers; the one who felt like there was always a bubble around me at parties or gatherings; the one who could never articulate how I felt or what I waned to say or have a conversation.
I have managed to keep my head above water somehow, I have been married 37 years somehow and at the age of 55 I finally found what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. People see me as a nice and caring lady who needs to be protected.
I find I have a lot to say (need to say) about my view of life, society and the world which I will post occationally on a blog here because I can not express these thoughts and feelings to people I know for fear of being ridiculed or thought of as being freaky wierd.
So with anticipated bluntness I don't think I will be making any freinds

I'm one, and there's 15344 others.
This is a very friendly site.
Hey!

Sounds like you are on the right planet now. Welcome to the wrong planet.

You're not that old, (I'm 65) and this is a good place for someone like you. Post a lot, make a lot of friends. See if I'm wrong.

hiii! welcome to WP!

welcome
I was great friends with someone who started to say-I won't make friends

I'm new myself - and, like you, opted to pass on the usual "Hi, I'm new" introduction.

Thank you for your candor...nothing wrong with setting the bar low with regards to making friends (or not making friends) in the Wrong Planet chats. Relax and enjoy the opportunity to just get stuff off your chest.

In fact, I think most of us are here to do just that - not build friendships in the traditional sense, but instead to have a place to escape to and talk with people about things that the other people in our lives just don't understand.

Living on the spectrum is a challenge on its own - no need to go about it feeling completely alone.

Hello, welcome to WP.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Yeah, just echoing Drollchick's advice. I've been posting here for a while and I am not friends with anyone.

Well, there are some people who's posts I tend to enjoy reading more than others. But I don't exchange PM's or anything like that. So it's probably up to you how many people (or how few) you pursue friendships with. You can always ignore PM's if that's your thing.

Well, then again...what's a friend? Is it someone who understands everything about you, overlooks all your flaws and glitches or someone who occupies the physical space contiguous to yours? I don't know really. I just posted about being misunderstood when I blurt out what I'm thinking, never to my benefit either. I get scolded a lot for brutal clarity ( TO ME ), so I know what you mean. Wrong Planet seems full of people who've already read the book, so lengthy explanation is unnecessary. Start there and WELCOME!

Nice to meet you, sufi.

Welcome to WP. I love it here and hope you do too.

nice to meet you and don't worry I'm sure you'll make plenty of friends.

Zdrastvuytye!
