And if you will not be turned, you will be destroyed.

In all seriousness... I always felt pretty disconnected from most people growing up. My small circle of close friends was as far as I got to socialising (at any one time, I had only about three or four friends at the most). Not being able to handle being bullied and teased was something I was really annoyed about, though - the inability to deal with it in any way except losing it completely (and therefore inviting it even more) was something that troubled me greatly - and still affects me even now.

The animal abuse thread and the meat market atmosphere of some of the dating stuff.

The first - well, I knew some would, but it hurt.

The second - I just can't imagine thinking that someone is going to be attracted to someone else on so little information. The only way is to see the person through their overall posting habits - at least you have a little clue about them.

The animal abuse thread upset me too. :cry:
I wonder where these kids parents were when all of this was happening.

Then again, the self-harm threads scare me so I don't read them.

I feel sad when I hear about all of the bullying, negativity, and naysaying AS people have had to face. My life has gone quite well when compared to most people, but I still don't like negativity. That is one reason I hang on to the story of Roger Bannister, who beat the odds against him to excel.

The worst aspect for me has been my failure in communicating my feelings to people I care about. I've had two marriages that failed. As the second one was failing, I found myself in arguments and situations in which I knew that I wasn't performing as expected emotionally, but was unable to do anything about it. It became aware to me that my first marriage ended because of my shortcomings, and all that pain and frustration came flooding back to me. I felt like a disappointment and a defective person, and powerless to change that. I worry deep down that I'll never be satisfying enough to other people to be loved.

The self-mutilation and self-harm and the suicide. I'm happy that some people with AS don't have to see its darker side for very long, but for me, I think mine's never-ending. I don't mean to whine.

That's exactly how I feel most of the time. Not that I've been married, but I have screwed up a lot of relationships... or at least, I think I have, but it's hard to get a balanced view. Sometimes the way I act bears little relation to how I really feel, and so I end up upsetting people I really care about, and that's painful for all concerned. Having said that, and getting back on topic, it's reassuring to know that I'm not the only person facing this problem.
