Yesterday I went to the mall with someone, and it made me feel pretty happy. But it was overstimulating.

Describe your social life, never ending pit of a thousand holes scattered across a battle field with a flag at 1 end saying I am your friend....

No matter which path I take I fall down a pit - on 1 side of the field is a golden gate with the last path that I can not cross is to be lying - deceitful & ignore the lying & deceit coming back to me that goes straight to the flag... to lose the respect for oneself & other's...

+ The fact I keep walking into the wrong people… Like someone said we seem to be a magnet to bad people…

Social Life? What the HOLY HELL is that??? I have NOOOOOOOO social life. I can pretty much say I know what house arrest must feel like. Yep Yep!! ! The only time I go anywhere is usually with my mom and dad. We live 1hr 33min from my hometown of San Diego. I have NO friends where we are, No drivers license, and during the week my mom goes to San Diego to work, and my dad is here but he works 15hrs a day, so I only see him for a short time at night.My only company are my cats and two dogs, and birdie Tina. My life consists of riding my bike down the street to the mailbox each day and sitting in front of the tv with my laptop. Oh yeah I don't work, I get disability each month. My psychologist says even if I was ever to work I would probably only be able handle part-time employment. But that was a long time ago. These days I am even more noise and crowd sensitive. I can't handle a lot of activity.

As for people IRL, it's mostly family and co-workers. I do have an Aspie friend here in Houston who I initially met online. At this time, she has no interest in a romantic relationship with anyone.

You are going to have to do this...Push yourself to talk to other people that you are afraid of. I did that, and it worked when I was afraid of people. Other things, I suggest you get Social Skills training, because usually the people that are afraid of others, don't have very good Social Skills.

I bet I could score friends, never had much a problem. All you need to do is be 'interested' in them, fake a few questions, pop a few jokes or 'side' with them. When you really understand what will attract someone, its simplistic and works on us, as well. Of course, you should be sincere in all of that

The hard part is opening your mouth :wink:

I cannot say whether or not I am developing a real social life, but I enjoy meeting people and tend to get along w/ them. Last week, I went to the cinema w/ a friend who graduated w/ me from high school to "The Pursuit of Happyness". We had a great time. We IM each other occasionally. In college however, I still haven't been able to socially connect to anyone, not even a single person. For me, attempting to make friends in college is a challenge, just like in high school because you don't even know who you can trust. Anyone does random sh*t in college. I'm sometimes hesistant to ask a girl whom I like to hangout because I fear that she'll reject me or say that she has a boyfriend. I wish I could find a place for social skills training.

I spoke to my best friend on the phone an hour ago. It was the first time in four months. No, we were not mad at each other.

Normally, my social life includes: asking people over, having dinner, killing them, then serving them to different people the next night.
