I wish I wasn't me

Would I be happier not being me? Right now, I'm more inclined to think so.

I hate that I just completely ****ing fail to understand others in the majority of situations, I'm a complete mess of wrong directions and I can't ever seem to keep anything the way I would want it.

I really rely on social interaction for some kind of happiness, but with so many factors that stop me going out (anxiety, no one to go out with, wanting to go out with Charlotte but her making every excuse not to) I just can't ever ****ing get that. On top of Charlotte and I being completely opposite in the attention / affection stakes (When I am really down, I need and want attention, Charlotte wants nothing less) this just makes me worse which will cause a reaction in her.

She just can't get what I need or put aside what the **** she is feeling, even just for me. We are both going through so ****ing much but she just can't just randomly think that I am down and need even just a hug or whatever.

I.. what's the ****ing point in any of this. I'm just so ****ing tired of being me, I just want to be ****ing normal and not care, not have these ****ing **** problems and just function like a normal ****ing person because I am far from normal or easy to live with and I'd rather be normal and opposite to who the **** I am because I'm far from being ****ing happy with who I am.

I don't know about this, LYTM: but I like you as you are. You seem to be a really likable guy with a great personality. Incompatibility issues can happen in any relationship whether both people are NTs or an Aspie/NT combo. It has to do with being a person. If you were someone else, you might still be incompatible with her but in other ways. You may also have a communication gap of some kind going on in your relationship. Since I've never met either of you in person, I cannot say what that may consist of, but sometimes people are not very effective at communicating their needs to a partner: especially when it comes to emotionally sensitive stuff. The only person you can successfully be is yourself. You cannot be anyone else & despite what you may believe in this moment, you do not need to become someone else: you are more than good enough as you are.
 
It's not just between us, so many things wouldn't have happened. I wouldn't have snooped into my friends stuff, I wouldn't have written those blog posts, I wouldn't be the neurotic that needs constant frigging confirmation that I am good enough, all the usual crap.

I just want someone to hold me and talk to me without shouting at me and telling me I'm wrong. I don't even know how to tell Charlotte that without her ****ing flipping out at me because she can't ****ing handle it.
 
Vitamins and exercise are supposed to help against depression. NLP is my favourite tool for change. :)
 
Daayyyuuummmm! My female friend is kinda the same. Great woman...but dare I tell her how I feel? I mean my deep feelings of lonelyness & that I need a hug? Holy Heckle & Jyde [or Green Spam and Yeggs] she'd yell at me & make me feel like I'm in a Marine boot camp "pull yourself up by the boot straps, move your ass, depression is just lazyness...stop bitching about socializing and forget about trying to meet friends..."

For me I need to stay busy...or I can fall into a funk. Wow I feel your words. I really dig & want to be socially accepted.
 
I used to think "Oh women are all warm and nurturing, and about feelings, while men are utilitarian and don't care about feelings." But as I've seen different people, including you guys, and my male friend, the more I've started to realize that many men value sweetness and warmth.
