When I was in High School. People tease me because I'm extremely emotional, and because I like supposedly wierd things. Its gotten to the point that none of my freinds really know what I like, apart from the obvious stuff I can't hide. Now whenever people ask me, I tell them I'm a loner.

While I wouldn't say my social life sucks, it certainly has been atypical. : )

I used to dig up rocks by myself in the corner of the playground in elementary school. As far as I can remember, people ignored me for the most part. Then my first friend thought she was a witch. That was fun.

My parents began to let me know that my social life sucked when I was 5. They got mad at me for not having more friends. I had to pretend to have friends so that they would not get angry.

For me it was mostly in middle school. I think I noticed that I wasn't popular before then, but I didn't realized just how much socializing outside of school that the other kids were doing until I was about 14. As a matter of fact, it wasn't until recently that I realized that other kids probably hung out after school almost everyday, and that's only because my 9 year old NT daughter never seems to be short on social invites.


Yeah, It shocked me too initially - It still depresses me when people make friends so fast, like there are some people at work, and already half the people have their phone numbers! I mean, I find it kinda, impossible, that that could happen :/

I was always kind of "different" since I was in 1st grade; but nobody started picking on me heavily until 5th Grade. I had my first bully and a bully just about every year after that until I went to a different school. Worst was 7th grade. One girl was merciless to me.

I was definitely a big loner, I would only make friends with other loners and nerds because they were the only people that seemed nice. Hence that stereotyped me as well.

I would ask other people why no one liked me and such. Some would say that I look "angry" or that I'd bury myself in my walkman and not socialize.

I always liked adults better since they seemed less judgemental. Teachers usually helped me I only had one or two jerks.

When I switched schools I started deliberately "smiling" a lot. It was so obnoxious because I didn't feel it but at least no one thought I was an angry b*** anymore simply because I wasn't constantly smiling.

Elementary to high school, I knew I was a loner and wasn't happy. By mid high school to now, I've stopped caring about having a social life.

So really the first moment I ventured out of the home environment and into the big wide world on my own.

I felt out of my depth from that moment on.

Middle school, I think. There were some boys who sort of teased me but I just ignored them completely. Outside of school, though, I never had much of a social life, period. My parents actually wished that I'd go out more often, while other parents wished that their kids would go out less often!

I was in grade 5 when I noticed my social life was different. And yes, I thought it sucked. I used to get so depressed about it, even suicidal at times.

At 30, when I decided that I was happy to be socially withdrawn and liked being alone, I stopped being depressed because I no longer had to try to fit in. It was a relief and now I am quite happy.

Well in elementary school I had some friends but when junior high it, I had none. It was so hard fitting in with my peers. It was hard for me to pretend to fit in. Those were the most grueling years of my life.
