Do you feel lonely?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you feel like you're just never going to meet that special person that you hope will make you happy? I feel this way when I'm just laying in bed or when I'm bored. I want to socialize but I can't. My lack of eye contact and unique interests really sends the wrong message to people. I did have this guy who liked me, but he probably thought I didn't like him...I just didn't know what to say.
Do you get that lonely feeling at times, even if you don't want to?

I doubt that I will ever find anyone nearby. I have found several nice guys on the internet, but they are hundreds of miles away. Even w/o the Asperger's, I am so different from the people in my area. Just finding ppl who don't have dealbreakers is hard. And I don't have the resources to move.

Me too

i stopped worying that i wont find anyone and started accepting i wont find anyone. got rid of the edginess of going out when you dont even bother trying.

I'm happy to accept I will be single for life.

We're all cursed with the DaVinci Syndrome. Okay. I'm making that up. It's just that he stayed unmarried all his life and he seems important enough to be the patron saint of the terminally lonely.

im not happy to accept it, but i have to accept it still. Oh well, not like therell be either someone to hear me whine or much of a 'rest of my life'

It's only when I start seeing somebody or a girl takes obvious interest do I ever realise how lonely I really am.
I may not feel lonely, but I know I'm a loner and some of my behaviour is probably triggered by that solitude.

Yes, I feel that way, and if you want to know why, just look at my age and compare it to the average age of people on this forum.

I think the key is to be patient... put yourself out there and keep checking until you find someone or someone finds you.

I also believe I will not meet that special person and accepting is difficult because its like a hole in my life of experiences I have not had-ok I will just say I do want to experience what my NT peers have -companionship,intimacy,physical intimacy. I would like to experience these things. We are humans no matter what and have the same wants,feelings,urges and desires NT people have.

Uhhhh, you know that DaVinci was most likely gay, right?

I won't meet anyone who is my type and even if I did I would blow it eventually and I must accept that I will be single and miserable for the rest odd my failed and useless life.

Sometimes I'm glad to accept I'm single because it makes me unique and proud, like a world record or something. But I realize that love and intimacy is strong, so I start feeling those desires.

I think I'm pretty physically attractive, girls have told me that before, but I'm a huge nerd. Girls really don't like that, even the nerdy ones themselves.

It's not the lack of confidence or being a doormat. I'm pretty upfront about who I am and what I like. The problem is the things I like tend to be intellectual, and/or weird. That makes me unique, but also less dateable.

All the time. It's especially prevalent whenever I see a couple being happy together... I just want to feel what all these couples feel, and yet I won't ever get that opportunity.

The pessimist in me says I will never find some one, the optimist in me says that with 7 billion humans, odds are there is some one out there. But until then, that's why I have an imaginary friend.
