Not today, but not too many days ago.
My only friend that I made recently, because I basically asked directly if she could be my friend, and talked about some problems because I had no one to talk to, since she seemed so interesting, since I have no friends and although it was embarrassing I do not regret it... told me that I should have more confidence in myself because I have a lot of interests and seem like an interesting person, and that I'm too caring and help people too much when I shouldn't do that...
She cared for me. I'm happy. She's the only one I've told about Asperger's, and other things about myself, but she even told me that I was her friend. I was so scared, since telling someone about your weakness is, by experience, not a good tactic, but my intuition was right when I found out about many things about her afterwards, that she would certainly be a good friend to talk with. I wanted to be her friend since 2 years ago! Finally had the courage. I was shocked, I'm so happy I'm not the only one doing things alone. Now, I have someone to talk to regarding shared interests. No one has told that to me before so truly. She was even baffled when I asked many times if truly she considered me a friend, and I was really happy. I'm so happy, but I'm scared I will screw up, just like I did before when I tried to made friends. We have the same interests! But we're substantially different in terms of personality.
She also said that I'm too random and a little bit stange, but I think she likes me the way I am, since she also said I'm interesting. I'm happy. I don't want to graduate from university and that she goes her own way. I'll be her friend even if that happens, and she draws very well and is so cute! I'll cheer for her. Although I don't know how to properly flourish a friendship, I'll be a good enough friend.
