    Thinking my life is worthless.

    I get you, really man, I felt like that for the most part of my 20's. Like I had nothing going on, pursuing a degree that should have been 5 years and ended up being 9, that hit me hard, I had very little joys in life and often felt that suicide was an option, to keep it short I had 2 attempts...

    Love at first sight. Do you believe it?

    I would say it depends, since we have to properly define what it means. True, you can sometimes feel attracted almost immediately to someone based on their looks first, however, you can also feel a connection sparking because you felt attracted not only to their looks but maybe to some aspect of...

    Rejection after an interview despite looking good on paper

    I once lost not an interview, but a job because of my personality. I remember that on the interview I acted normal, like my usual behaviour. I don' express too many emotions really, it's like a habit of mine not to express that much, on top of that I'm very quiet and shy. Like 2 months into the...

    How Open Should I Be About My Asperger’s?

    In my opinion, it is not something many people know about, ergo they might not know what to say or do or just be uncomfortable. This happened to me once, I got my diagnosis and was about 3 months with it in secret, a friend of mine saw me going to the psychiatrist office (because it was located...

    Toxic Co-workers

    Well I managed to work there for only 1 month. I did it after I talked to a Professor I was very close to. She told me that there is a certain amount of things that one is able to handle at a job, for example the routine, workload on some days being heavy, some disagreement with a coworker, etc...

    Toxic Co-workers

    I was hoping someone would address this issue. Really, I had my very first job some time ago, like in January, straight out of University with 3 languages learned and some other abilities. I was proud of myself and was eager to start a new job. But it didn't go as expected. WARNING: Long post...

    If you could time travel, what year or period of your life would you go back to?

    I either would choose to go back to my early childhood, but with the knowledge I have now intact and start doing things differently; like learning how to pretend to be like the other kids and thus prevent the bullying that I went for 8 years in school. Or I would choose to meet Michael Faraday...

    Are romantic relationships/sex not that big of a deal for NT's?

    I haved hokked up, in places that are meant for that. I don't go to bars or clubs. Never felt attracted to them, since I've been there once and ended up hating such places. For example, going to gay saunas or using Tinder is easy. This is why I regard sex as a lower level than a true...

    Are romantic relationships/sex not that big of a deal for NT's?

    I've had encounters that suggest in part of my mind that are potential partners, but usually end up in me being too anxious to the point of doing nothing or doing something wrong that makes people go away. It is very hard, specially if you're an Aspie like me who works as a machine; and by this...

    Are romantic relationships/sex not that big of a deal for NT's?

    Something I have learned on this topic, is that relationships/sex are something that many people consider important. A very huge part of their lives, something that makes them feel complete. I would be dishonest if I were to say that I haven't felt the same from time to time; sometimes I feel...

    Something You Always Carry With You

    I always carry these 2 things: 1. A necklace I got for my birthday from a girl. 2. A handkerchief. Number 1 is because this girl is someone I really like, I don't know how to process the fact that she is far away (penpal), but when I get her messages, skype calls, letters, I just feel like the...

    Questions about Aspie/NT in beginning of relationships

    First of all, very good idea for a thread, congrats for that OP! Now, I'm texting, skyping this girl from Ukraine who is very pretty, she's very fun and has a good attitude in general. I haven't talked to her about my Asperger, because I don't want her to freak out or get any misconception...

    Small talk

    Small talk was a living torture for me! I mean, it happenned in many places and in different aspects. Waiting for class to start, at the supermarket, waiting at the bank, etc. Once I was invited to a "friends night out" and we were 8 people, it was a big task to gather courage to say yes and...
