Hi LogicalMolly, I sympathize with you and I care. Since we are just on the internet, what I can offer you is an e-pat on the back and a listening pair of ears. I hope you have calmed down since your meltdown came on.

I have been feeling much the same lately. You are not alone.

I am now worried that people might think I was fishing for compliments. I wasn't. All I was hoping for was some virtual hugs or sympathy, I suppose. But I can't even get that basic request right. I always seem to make people misunderstand me.

Why?

Everyone fishes for compliments every now and again even if they don't admit it. We need them, and there's no reason to be ashamed of it (unless you do it all the time, but I don't think you're one of those people).

Having said that, sometimes when I put myself down, people think I'm fishing for compliments, and it makes me feel really awkward. e.g. if I say that I'm overweight, I'm just saying that as matter-of-fact, but it puts pressure on people to say otherwise. So, I *try* not to put myself down.

I have the same problem all the time. I always say something weird, and of course I do not realize it is weird until people have some sort of a reaction, but at that point I cant do anything about it. So usually I feel like I should just stay away from people.

Eh, recuerda que siempre puedes visitarnos en nuestra sección de los aspies calientes. Ahora que lo pienso, "aspies calientes" suena muy raro xDDD, pero ps es la traducción correcta. Y ps es pues, por si acaso, es una abreviatura bastante usual cuando no es necesario ser formal. Espero que te sientas mejor, tómate tu tiempo para recuperarte.
