Not Feeling Welcome

Post Reply New Topic

I'm a little upset, seems stupid sinc it's only the internet. I feel like my own kind shuns me, bad enough when most NTs shun me too. I feel like I offend people without meaning to, a problem in real life too. I still get suicidal thoughts, even had plans I didn't want to act on because I feel it's the coward's way out and what if I live as a vegetable or get committed where they won't help me? I've been in institutions where they really do more harm than good. All I want is to not feel so alone, I don't want pity, just someone who actually is willing to listen to what's on,my mind, making friends would be nice. I'm actually a decent person worth getting to know. I'd love an outlet where I could just be myself, share things I'd be reluctant to share on Facebook. I don't have many real life friends, I can't keep up any charades of being the social butterfly that is most accepted.

Allow me to welcome you please

Having poor social skills is incredibly frustrating, I like to feel WP is an outlet for being able to be myself. I'm not able to relate to anyone at all in person, and I don't make any effort to. I'm constantly worried I'll offend someone or be judged for something I said that I shouldn't have, even if I wasn't aware of that. I can't cope with the normal world and the social expectations placed on me.

WP is pretty good about being supportive for the most part, feel free to post around and join discussions. Don't feel let down if you're misunderstood, it does happen from time to time. Everyone has to learn social skills somehow.

Thank you for your support. I will keep posting. It does seem silly to just disappear because a few people don't like me or think I'm a fake, and if I offend someone I'd rather have them tell me so there won't be any misunderstandings.

Don't know why, if it's my tendency to paranoia or something to do with the internet, but I've found that the slightest spat can become magnified when using website threads and chat rooms and make me feel depressed.

If this has happened to you, there should be other parts of this site where you are welcome - like here.

I've found that this site will accept quite a lot aspergeroid silliness, which is something I do a lot, being generally bored and lonely.

People tend to believe they could argue better over the Internet. It gives people an anonymity which is lacking in real life. I wouldn't get depressed if somebody insults you. It's that somebody's problem!
