I'm the same way. I wish I could be myself but when I am around others I mostly just think about how they view me.
I was like that well into my fourties.

Is it normal for an aspie to be so worried about what others think of you that you have a hard time "being yourself"? I know a lot of people on here don't. but I feel quite repressed by society and the people around me. I want to let it all out, and let my "freak flag" fly, but it's like I have a mental block preventing me from doing so. I even feel somewhat repressed online, where I often feel I have more freedom to express myself and what I like.


^^ I feel the exact same way and it dose trouble and get on my nerves allot.

Hello there, I'm having such issues myself too and often I find myself worrying if I will ever be as good as the other people I know who don't have aspergers. Now things have improved for me and are going to improve further because I'm not going to compare myself with others. I have recognized my condition and have made up my mind to love myself for who I am, not what someone else expects me to be.
