I've often wondered if some aspies focus too much on alpha type popular people, wanting to be like them, and then having a bad experience when that fails. While basically ignoring the existence of all the unpopular low profile people around them.

That was me, 25 years ago.
I didn't know anything about Asperger's then, I just wanted to fit in and be liked.
I look back at how I was back then and I cringe. I was trying too hard and failing too often. :(

It's taken a long time, but I don't care what people think of me these days, and I feel much better for it. 8)
