Am I too weird even for Wrong Planet?

<--- Weirdo freakazoid.

You can't expect people to get to know you in only 4 days and 17 posts.

Give it time and carry on posting. I have been here a bit longer and I wouldn't say I have made any friends, as such, yet. I actually don't really know how to go about making friends if I am honest. I doubt I would ever dare to be the first person to PM somebody or anything like that. That's not to say that I don't like interacting with the people here because I do (hence the prolific posting). So yea I guess I'm saying that you're definitely not too weird to be here. If you stick around then I'm sure you'll feel more included once you interact with people more. I don't feel like a newbie here anymore at least which is good

I've come to the conclusion that because this is such a popular (and international) forum, there are too many posts for most people to keep up with. I know I haven't been able to. So I've certainly lowered my expectations that I'll find friends in my neck of the woods to associate in real life from being on here. On the other hand, it seems to be a good place to "sound off" about the issues with AS I'm facing every week now. And if that's all it helps me with, it's good enough!

Like others have said: you've only been here a short time, and I imagine there are many individuals here who don't feel the need to be social, or are otherwise too anxious to respond to you. Give it time, and if you want to talk to others, try to find people who mention in their signatures, posts, etc. that they are open to PM's. Good luck!

I don't think I'm logical enough to be on WP. I'm a sensitive soul and I use my heart a lot more than I use my head. I don't even know how to be logical. I'm also more touchy feely than I am, ouchy scratchy. I understand feelings than I do logic. There have been some days over the summer that I took a day's break. I enjoy being here, while at the same time, I don't understand the science of logic and calling others out.

Replace "weird " for love-able .

Lucky I have my pets otherwise I'm ^&*^T

Lots of weird here: I am a friendly creative-type though.

I have kinda sort of taken your advice. Edited the sig to be open to pm's and what not and guess what, someone PM'd me. Lucky me!

Awesome It's good to know my advice helped, even if in a different way then I had intended. Good luck talking to whoever PM'ed you!

Thanks

The thing is, you have only been on here for around 3 days (at the time of my post) and made 18 posts. This is not enough to even get noticed on a board with as many members as this one has. Plus, this is an autism board, a board full of people who are somewhat hesitant about making connections with new people until they get to know them better. So, give it time. Post enough that people notice your existence and then maybe hope for more than that.

I just got here too dude. I've posted on other forums that are loaded with trolls, and I'd say this place seems to be troll free, which you would think would mean that people might actually get to know each other here, but at the same time, we all kinda have different levels of social anxiety and all that business.... I just wrote the biggest run on sentence ever.......

We're all different from each other but that doesn't mean that we are weird if we seem different.
Plenty of times, I've felt different from anyone and everyone. At the end of the day though, there isn't anyone that is specifically like you but generally we are supportive and friendly.
I'm not friendly or supportive because I'm a very bad and evil man.

Thought the same thing when I read the title

Aspies tend to tolerate weirdness. Our everyday lives are so full of shocks that we are kind of used to it. For instance, we might function more calmly in an emergency situation than a Neurotypical might because of this.
