Most of my life has been within the dangers of comparing myself to others.

I get frustrated slightly at the moment my friend tells me how to live my life and then all a sudden have to follow you guys advice because you all go with psychitrests and therapists. You guys try to understand something here, you are very helpful and kind, but sometimes I'd just like it if I could be human however at the same time not talk about episodes or my accolades. Can we go back to yo mamma jokes not if you are 45 years old but if you are in my age group.

I get worried that people who like the same stuff as me don't think I understand my specialist interest cos I masked it for five years between 2004 and 2009 because nobody else around me was into it/understood it. So I get stuff wrong around then.

As if being interested in other things nobody else was interested in, like country music, was somehow 'better'.

I already didn't fit in cos I wasn't a chav.

Such a waste of time trying to fit in with people I lacked respect for.

That's understandable as, I tend to be somewhat distant, but not unto all persons..

There have been times I've had to mask my interests as, it did not necessarily fit in with the people I was around within my community, i.e I'm not fanatically about sports, as my interests tend to gravitate towards things of a more thinking like form

I must have some form of face blindness.

Everybody noticed that a fellow worker was not feeling well---but I didn't

it turns out she had to go the emergency room.

Ignoring this simply cos I'm not sure what you mean. I think my social anxiety is creating fake meaning here.

But as for me - I was different by default. Any kid who moved from the town I was in before to that town would have been. Any teacher's kid into that school would have been, and any autistic kid would have been. So that's three things where I couldn't really help it and that I got bullied for.

So I suppressed my specialist interests cos I didn't need to give them any more ammo. I sort of protected it.

And I deliberately separated myself in other ways, the sorts of ways which I falsely thought society valued. Cos I really couldn't stand those bullies. Not good but I was 15 and autistic and being bullied big time. I wanted to hurt them like they hurt me. (emotionally)

I hate bullies :(

I'm fanatic about football and a deep thinker.

Not sure if I see it like most people do though.

Sometimes they expect (NT sport fans) a stereotypical aspie male brain on this stuff. Obsession over statistics. I have a lyrical type brain which can't work in that way. My stepdad is probably aspie and he acts like I haven't watched a game if I don't remember if someone got a penalty vs a free kick.

But I like the social side of Scottish football. And the historical, and the political.

Sometimes football fans think if you don't know every single season then you're not a proper fan. I took time off for self protection.

Outside of football, and soaps I like more intellectual and artistic stuff. People act like you're not supposed to be interested in that as a hobby but I don't see why not.

I sometimes with people would just move onto any topic of conversation which isn't gossip about people they know or 'how are you' 'I'm ok how are you' etc. Seriously. It isn't a conversation and it wastes time. And unless people really know you, you're not allowed to be honest.

Living in sight of water can make you calmer, happier and more creative, a study found.
