Highly sensitive persons

Are aspergers hypersensitive or emotionless? Do they overreact a situation or keep calm?

What's the difference between aspies and borderlines when it comes about emotions and reactions in front of problems?

The reason why i'm asking is because: i become easily bothered if someone disagree with me.
Also, i have trouble in maintaining relations with people and i make easily a lot of enemies. I have always to argue with somebody.
In childhood i have had the same issues.

Have to mention that:
- i don't feel an urge to have friends, i enjoy loneliness, hate crowds, don't like being the center of attention
- i didn't mutilate myself or attempted suicide
- i am not violent, just a little rigid and sometimes too honest (in a unintentional brutal way)
- sometimes i become aggresive and start yelling at people when they don't get my point of view.
Afterwards i feel very guilty and ashamed of my reactions
- i have a lot of negative emotions, my biggest fear is that people will judge me or humiliate me
- don't have trouble reading others, i'm very empathetic, very friendly
- many times people told me i'm too hidden and introverted because it's hard for me to show my emotions
- in relationships, i have been blamed i'm too distant, though i loved with all my heart
etc.

you sound just like me, I avoid ppl but sometimes enjoy them but but but most are hardly worth the trouble....

i often get on best with dim ppl.

good luck ! !

Thank you!

I've discovered there is a difference between borderline, asperger and hsp.
Now, I think i'm an HSP:

That's so funny! All my life i've been suffering from this. Now i see what's 'wrong' with me...
What a revelation!

Why do so many people bring up borderline personality disorder here? It has zero to do with ASD and your being silly. My theory is that it's a fad diagnosis people gloss over and think "That's me!" without much thought.

My opinion on the first question is that autistics are fairly emotional and don't know how to deal with their strong emotions, and tend to be very hypersensetive. Autistics are never emotionless (unless they're brain damaged or very severely blunted, which is rare)

You sound almost exactly like me. I generally have strong emotions but no way of expressing them because I'm afraid I'll get laughed at or something. I also have a tendency to offend people when I honestly don't mean to. I hate nothing more than being shunned because someone completely misinterpreted something I said.

I'm a highly sensitive person and I feel that I have to watch my back and watch what I post, to protect myself from personal attacks and the possibility of people saying things about me in the open forum here. I've been a very sensitive person, my entire life. Having staunch parents didn't help me at all and it would have helped me if my parents were more supportive, instead of punitive.
