ALL WE ARE SAYING IS TAKE A BATH AND PEOPLE MIGHT BE MORE UNDERSTANDING BUT YOU ARE JUST WALLOWING IN SELFPITY AND THAT ISN'T GONNA GO DOWN WITH US!

You're on a board with other people with Aspergers/Autism. You should know all about the empathy thing.

Would you even THINK about talking to a girl again after she was absolutely stinky, the smell made you sick, and she looked hugely unappealing because she's got grease literally dripping from her hair? No, I very much doubt you would. You'd think the same about her, the same way we think about you.

Everyone, I wouldn't bother this guy anymore. Clearly he's never gonna help himself and was just looking for someone to feel sorry for him. Wrong boards, try Psychforums.

MR20, how about you stop worrying about that first impression and instead worry about being as impressionable a person as you can be.
That way you can say if people don't like it, they can go do one. When you make zero effort on the other hand, you're only giving them ammunition. I'm not condoning bullying or insults of any kind, but negativity breeds negativity.

You shouldn't ask why certain people wouldn't hang with you. Instead ask why ANY person wouldn't hang with you. There are countless people you would get on well with in the world, if all you did was try, or get someone to assist you. Please don't come here for attention and to vent. The readers aren't asking you to "get over it / deal with it" but they are asking you to "get over yourself".

It's not my fault! I can help being all those things I mentioned. I'm sick of people like you, just ignoring how I describe myself and saying to "get over it"

How the hell am supposed to make a good first impression when every time I open my mouth and people here me speak, they automatically think something is wrong with me. It isn't fair. I can't control what people think about me. I am what I am.

I just get frustrated with the advice people here give me. IE being more assertive, having confidence, socializing more and talking to people, forcing yourself to go out to populated places to talk to different people, learning body language, etc.

Like I'm capable of this stuff, when I can barely bathe and take care of myself at the age I'm at.

Then when I state my problems you say "get over it" and "you're just not working hard enough, I have no sympathy for you". It's such BS

It infuriates me and makes me bitter to no end.


The bitterness is plainly obvious, but it really is up to you to make the most of the crappy hand we've ALL been dealt here! You can keep yourself clean and stink-free, learn to smile to people and at least have "normal" working relationships or even friends - maybe even the long-shot of finding a woman willing to be with you (no, she won't be a supermodel.)

OR you can give up and have no hope of anything. No human interaction at all, because no one can stand to be anywhere near you.

Look it might not be your fault, but it's nobody else's fault either. Stop trying to blame everyone for your problems. Take responsibility for them. I'm not saying solve them necessarily - but own them. They're your problems. There's nobody out there who is responsible for you. Maybe I should blame you for my problems, would that make sense?

You don't want people to give you guidance? What do you want then? You want us to tell you it's ok to quit? NO. I refuse.

In some ways, you're lucky you have Aspergers, you're black. With Aspergers, you don't fit into the "hood" culture, thus you might actually be able to do something useful with your life, moreso than your NT "hood" cultured peers.

Racist. Sorry - just needed to take that opportunity to point out how cultural criticism can have someone perceived as a racist if the culture they're criticizing isn't American or European culture. Absurd, really.

MR20, it sounds like you were told at an early age that you have Asperger's (or some mental disability) and that's unfortunate because you seem to have exaggerated your condition into a self fulfilling prophecy. I wonder what would have happened if you had grown up like me, poor with neglectful parents who didn't want to bother with finding out why I was so weird. Since I never knew I has Asperger's I kept trying to fit in, and in doing so kinda became almost normal. Thank you parents! I have a job, I shower regularly, I don't have any close friends, my coworkers think I'm odd, I slur my speech, but I'm able to function in society. Don't you want fulfillment in your life? Stop coddling your Asperger's!

I hate that you think you're ugly, because you can do something about that. A healthy and clean person is never ugly. Exercise, eat right, shower. When you're presentable come join the human race.

MR20, Misery loves company and if you're complaining without making an effort to change your situation, people are going to have every right to complain or walk away themselves, I don't know why you are surprised at that response.

The world isn't fair, the world isn't going to give you everything on a silver platter and you have been given pages and pages of advice.

Not every black male lives in a ghetto or comes from a poor background. Not everybody that lives in a hood or ghetto is a lowlife. Not everybody that lives in the ghetto hangs out with lowlifes. I could go on but I think you get the point.

Right, not every black male lives in the ghetto or comes from a poor background, but he does. Not everyone that lives in the ghetto or hood is a lowlife, fine, but the crime rates there are much higher than in the suburbs or rural areas. For hanging out while living in the ghetto, again, see crime rates. It's nothing against black people, it's just factually their culture is not doing well due to a variety of factors, some outside of their control (like LBJ's "Great Society" that helped to get fathers out of homes) some in their control. But, to say the culture itself is not a destructive culture is blindness.

Just look at the music, is that progress as a society? No, it's regression. Again, I'm not saying it's black people's fault or whatever, as far as who's to "blame" that's not what I'm trying to argue one way or the other, but what I'm saying is, as a culture, bad. You wouldn't argue "Well not everyone who lives in trailer parks..." No.

Sorry, but there are other ghettos in the world besides in countries where blacks populate them. Go to Central and South America, parts of Eastern Europe and pockets of Asia. And it's not just rap music and afro-rooted music that has degenerated in 20-40 years. Just switch over to any music station with chart music and it's almost all trashy and expendable (if entertaining).

Go to "the hood" and see how much you like it. For real fun, try seeing how much you like it by actually living in said neighborhoods.

I wouldn't want anything to do with people who can't accept me for who I am either...I mean if someone wants someone who is optimistic, dresses in stylish clothes and who's confident I am certainly not that person and I don't think I should pretend to be. So I agree with not following all that ridiculousness. I mean if you are pessimistic I see no reason to pretend not to be.

How does this discredit what either of us have said about the narrow point in your argument about what you perceive to be a problem exclusive to black people? Of course there's crimes in a ghetto. There's crimes in any ghetto. And because almost everyone commits crime in a ghetto, the majority of whatever ethnicity that lives there are likely to cause the crime. This problem is not exclusive to black folks in western civilizations.

Please bear in mind that where Rihanna and Justin Bieber is today, Britney Spears, Dj something-something and Big Brovaz was in the 2000's, Spice Girls, Ace of Base and Backstreet Boys was in the 1990's and Rick Astley was in the 1980's. Somehow we only remember the good bands and forget the sh!t that actually top the charts. :D
