When I was young I would try to make friends and I am far from shy or intoverted. My social anxiety was caused by people bullying me constantly everyday because some of the problems below. My anxieties appear as low self esteem. :cry:
*** People have told me most of the following below, and I experienced others.
Social problems
- I would go up to people I never meet, and talk about space , once they tried to leave I continued to talk about space
- I tried making friend by following people, and was bullied and called a stalker
- I played on the playground by myself when I was younger
-As i got older, I joined clubs, organization, still had social issues
- I was called socially awkward, shy, quirky, smart
- I do have friends but it was hard to maintain them.
- I usually talk about myself and my interest all the tme
- adults were nicer and understanding than childern.
- no friends in college
Sensory problems
- When I tried playing a sport or walk in halls in middle and highschool to many things activities were happening at one time, and to fast.( I came home crying)
-when I was younger at certain foods first, and ate it each one at a time ( always ate fries first, then burger, then drink, and i didn't notice until my mom told me)
- I hated smacking, I would scream and itch when I was younger
Routines
- I would do the same things everyday, such as, watching tv
-If I am need to get somewhere in 20 mins I would take the usual time to get ready because I'm use to it.
- it more familiar to do something the same way, but sometimes I get bored and restless other times
Special interest
-I didn't do well socially and decided to do research for 8 hours everyday.( I did this a lot because I couldn't understand why people bullied me) ( why I was different from them)
- I considered the tv and Internet a place where I can find comfort in. ( I got rejected, and found it easily to research and connect that way)
- I have rigid thinking when trying to learn new things( I received bad grade because I didn't adapt very well)
- I have good focus and sometimes I do not ( I have interest in this one subject and talk a long time on it, and if it's not I get bored and sleepy)
- I love science and often talk about it
Other issues
- when i was younger I was disorganized and we're paper everywhere
- little common sense ( why are people being mean to me?)
- donot get sarcasm ( it blows over me real fast people told me they were being serious, and i thought something else)
- innocent and naive
Other issues I do not have
- no reptitve movements
*****I took at aq test online many times and it says I was 25/50 ( likely to be aspie!?!), and other test say I do not have it?
The highest I gotten was 29/50 other sites.
