Hey all,

I lost a friend today... she said that she's happier without me around... and that my social awkwardness made her feel like she was babysitting a five year old whenever we hung out... and that I bordered on obsessive.

Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Aaron

I was called a 5 year old the other day. I certainly am not, as well as not an idiot.

um yeah. In hindsight, I would say that the non-autistic friends of my youth did 'carry' me socially. They also exploited me. They got tired of carrying me and I got tired of being exploited.

One friend called me an idiot and stupid all the time, had narcissistical traits and slammed part of my hand in a door creating chronic pain for life.

Another friend, as I usually have one at a time, chocked me out to where the oxygen in my brain depleted and I had a violent grand mal seizure on a rock hard floor. I woke up and people were just watching, as the other previous friends were there present that slammed me on the ground all the time in there front yard.

Another so called friend stole from me all the time... Yet he was funny.


Truth not pity.

I had a false friend a while ago, and I was glad to lose him. Although I'll give him credit for "carrying" me socially to some extent. For instance, I had my first kiss at a party he brought me to (I was 19 at the time). Needless to say, I smiled for days afterwards. However, he constantly lied to me; borrowed money multiple times, then tried to cheat his way out of paying it back; talked sh*t about me behind my back, then denied it; the whole nine yards. Eventually, I got tired of putting up with it, and when he called me, I told me to get out of my life for good. Much to my surprise, he didn't take it all that well, but I was unfazed. And so, a false friend passed into history.

I hope you told her that she is a complete idiot and moron.

I've had way too many friends, both guys and girls, that have been stupid like that. I might discuss that later on tomorrow.

Back to Aaron's situation - knowing women from my experience, she'll change her mind about the relationship 142,352,922 times before tomorrow morning. So it's anyone's guess what tomorrow morning will bring, and it's anyone's guess what tomorrow afternoon will bring.

Is that your cat? How did you get the glowing eyes in there? or is it edited in?

Just tell her it's her loss for no longer having you as a original and unconventional friend.

That's my cat. And his eyes glow like that naturally when the camera flash shines.

The more people I know, the more I like my Dog.

I'm sure that many of my aquatiences probably think I'm Immature. At least I'll be a Jolly Old Lady, instead of a Grumpy Old Lady.

you're better without idiots like that.
so any people are incapable of thinking for themselves-always worried about their image..
your own company is better that people who don't like you for who you are.
nice people are out there!

At least that person had the balls to tell you what was wrong. Most people when they want to break of a friendship with me, they just sort of dissapear, and ignore any attempt I make to contact them. You don't know what the heck's going on, if they just haven't gotten back with you because of other factors, or even what you did to turn them off.

Well, I haven't really had that directly happen to me, but the most I have is that I never see certain people again after leaving....say to another school or just away from a certain community.

But yeah, I'm sure that was really hard for you. I don't think I could bare the thought of someone, who I thought was my friend, say something like that to me.

I wish you luck on finding someone around your age who can accept you for who you are. I know I wish I had that myself, forget about having a girlfriend. :(

Yes unfortunately I've had some experiences like this when I was younger. Also had many claim to others behind my back that they only were my friend because they felt bad for me.
