What do you dislike the most about aspergers syndrome

Post Reply New Topic

I dislike the being socially ostracized, and I also feel guilty for being smarter than most people. Most of the time I hold back because I know most people either won't be able to follow where I'm going or will be pissed that I even tried to go there. People just assume I'm just trying to show off or something but that doesn't make any sense to me. Being entirely too honest ALL the time!! ! Not being able to make friends easily, feeling like an outsider, even in my own family, obsessing over crap that most people don't care about, and not being able to get a gf or have sex...yet at least. Being picked on for being different. Not being able to pick up on social ques, understand when people are picking on you. Being naive about the world...being a loser basically, oh and people have made sure that I know that I'm a loser btw lol. I'm not depressed actually, quite up beat after realizing what my problem was...you have to make the best of who you are and accept that you're going to creep people out from time to time. And you have to remember that you are just as human as anyone else.

Things I like:
Being able to become an expert on any topic very quickly, feeling music at a level most people will never understand, and being really really smart. Currently I'm an expert on economics and politics. Soon I will be an expert on biology and chemistry. Alas none of this adds up to much when no one wants to hang around you.

Social phobia/anxiety and overall lack of confidence in any social environment.

I can deal with the rest of it I just get pissed off sometimes knowing that I have zero confidence to do most things, and if I try it takes so much effort that next time I probably just won't bother trying. I wish I had confidence instead of having to 'wing it' everyday.

The way I have an ''inner NT'' who really wants to go out socialising at night, but my Aspie brain stops me from doing it, in which it makes me feel constantly miserable, and makes me feel bad about myself when I say ''no'' to opportunities.
