I am soo glad I found this thread!

But it doesn't stop in school.. it continues and just gets weirder for some.
About a week ago (3 or 4 days ago?)
A random started talking to me on the street about sleep and this person did not look odd at all.
Randoms are always doing this and at the worse times.. not like any time is great but some are just worse.

yes, this people who were even weirder then me came and talked to me, and i was like "why are you talking to me?" EVERYONE thought she was annoying just not me. And this one guy at another table said "is she bothering you?" "and I did a VERY tiny nod" and they offered to let me sit with them lol.

the same girl came up to me on the bus and i tryed to go to a different seat because she was very annoying. She KEPT following me. and talking about random stuff like "hi my name is so and so, i like doing this and that, and I also like to do this, what is your favorite ___?" i was like omg please shut up. i didnt say that but i just gave up moving she was gonna follow me no matter what. that bus ride was more then 1 hour because the stupid bus driver got lost.


I have had drivers get lost, pull over for coffee and one stop the bus and run into their bank.. so it was kind of nice seeing someone else getting the same kind of drivers.
ANd I have perfected the tiny nod, so completely understand where you are coming from on that.

I remember on my first day of high school I sat alone in the cafeteria and two random people approached and started talking to me because they felt bad for me since I was sitting all alone. Did anyone ever approach you when you sat alone?


In few instances they do, but these are PRECISELY the time when I do NOT want to be approached (either I am preoccupied with my own thoughts, or these are not the kind of ppl I would want to meet; usually it is both).

At the same time, I spend A LOT of time WANTING desperately to be approached, and no one ever does.

But for some reason the two (me wanting to be approached and people approaching me) never go together. Probably because the people I want to approach me are girls, while the people who do approach me are guys. Also, people I would want to approach me are white, but people who do are not.

I moved to India to do a post doc and don't have Indian roots other htan that. The duration of the post doc in India is the exact time I do NOT want anyone to approach me since I don't feel I have anything in common with Indians. But at the same time THEY are approaching me, and that bugs me. It feels like they do that because my Asperger draws their attention; but I also realize that may be the real reason is that my color is what stands out. Whichever it is, it bothers me.

But, back in USA I spent several years wanting for someone to approach me, no one ever did. It was my obsession for many years why no one ever approahes me, and the harder I obsess the less I am being approached.

No. I went to college for two years and wasn't spoken to once.

It happened a few times.

When I was a child I used to spend breaks between classes alone and from time to time random people tried to approach me.


Last year at university it happened again. I started hanging out with some nt classmates that were ok-ish(they werent the coolest guys ever but they werent losers), for some odd reason I was leaving after the first class when one of them approached me and we started talking. I ended the relationship with this guys a few months afterwards because they used to make fun off almost everything I said.

For a week I was f*** u* and I didn´t know what to do. After that period I realized that there was also another guy who had pretty much no contact with the rest of the class and he sat alone in the same row in all the classes, I took my chance approaching this guy and he is one of the few people I trust in my class, from time to time its good to make an effort and appreciate the results.
