Have You Always Been All Alone?

Nessa238 is trolling.
He or she is misrepresenting what others has said, then blasting them for what he or she states they said. Many instances of it on this thread.

Did I hear you scream "evidence"?

Nothing in MannyBoo's words is there any concept of current. She is stating that when she is in a full room, whenever that happened to have been. It happened, that is how she felt. You misconstrued her words.

Disabled? seriously? You're using emotive language probably for the reaction. It's called Asperger's Syndrome, and many don't consider it a syndrome at all. Also, and this is more important for you to understand, it's a spectrum disorder. It goes from very severe to very mild. Some are functionally disabled, some are emotionally disabled, some simply struggle, and some enjoy every minute of it.

I'm going to accuse you of purposefully misconstruing what others have said on these forums.

I face a similar problem myself. I'm 28 and I only two days ago realized I like being alone but also fear it. The best relationship I've ever had in my adult life was with a girl I knew was leaving in a month. Those relationships that have lasted for a good ammount of time longer were plagued with long distance. Reflecting on them now, I think I want to be alone but I don't feel like I am as long as i know there is someone out there. I saw an old man a couple months ago walking his dog. One of my greatest fears is that I'll be that man one day.

You are extremely lucky if you have family or decent coworkers you can talk to. Many aspies have none of those things. their entire existance is lonely. They get their social contacts from the cashiers they talk to when buying necessary things and they cringe every morning at the thought of a new day ahead. If you have family embrace it. until the very last day.

Except for a couple of friends in my childhood, and my family, I have always been alone. I was never married either, I had a few boyfriends but was never able to form a long term relationship. I was a single mom. It was a struggle. I don't know how not to be alone, it is a natural way of being for me. Social networking is something I would never be able to do. I have lived my life in my own world.
And yes, I am extremely lucky to have my family.

Alone is home.

I HAVE always been alone, I feel, and it's been a long time coming but now that I'm talking with autisties, I feel a peace within myself.

Haha yes, i remember once i threw a birthday party and after i got my presents i just went upstairs alone and left my guests to entertain themselfs. At the time i didnt know i wasnt suppose to do that, my father and sister had to explain it to me. I was ten.

As already mentioned on the previous page, affirmative.

I have a real hard time calling it being all alone though, when I have a loving family who I in return love very much.

Being alone is no fun.

When you get sick you have to drive yourself to the hospital.

When the cupboard runs dry you have to head out to the supermarket or food pantry.

When you see a scary movie, there's no one around to comfort you.

When you see a sad movie, there's no one around to console you.

When the bill collector comes a-knockin', it's just you writing the check.

When a movie you want to see is in the theatres, you just wait until it comes out on DVD or Blu-Ray.

When you want to eat at a nice restaurant, you pass on it in favor of a McDonald's, Wendy's or Subway.

Kinda, though it's become more so in the past few years. It's just a combination of anxiety, lack of motivation, etc.
