Hello

I have been recently diagnosed as an Aspie. I have had major difficult with social situations for as long as I can remember. if I was in a room of ppl, I would be the one sitting quietly in the corner watching others having fun. Here is a little background: In 2013 I decided I need to reach out and try to get socialized, and I decided to try playing MMOs, I am a gamer. In those years I made some friends and lets just say everyone of those friendships ended in disaster. I use to be okay before 2013 I had no problems being solo, but now I do. In 2013 I made my first 2 close friends that broke down my walls and showed me what I was missing, they kinda made me into a company seeking junkie. When they left my world crashed, and I been struggling through friendships since. Every time I loose a close friend I somehow end up in a deep depression. This year one of my inner circle friends left by ghosting me and I decided to go get tested. I figured I was at fault because I was the common denominator. Currently, I have no one to communicate with and it is driving me into anxiety storms. I have been using the TV as a smoothing source for the anxiety attacks. Recently, my therapist suggested I look for online Aspies website to communicate, so here I am. I am wondering right now is this a norm or am I on the weird side here? I am really outside my comfort zone posting this...

Hi I'm new to the forums. I don't know if I have aspergers/autism but it's become more obvious I don't read people like some people do, so maybe. I get the feeling I'm doing something wrong since I seem to have lost touch with older/long distance friends, don't know what I did wrong. Doesn't seem like we just drifted apart, so I'm guessing being this type drove them away but I'm here to figure some stuff out. I thought I was fairly typical but who knows.

Hi I'm Nicole.
From NZ. Was diagnosed almost 2 years ago when I was 17. I also have social anxiety so making friends is not easy. I have one good friend but we don't physically see each other much or anything. It's kinda lonely.
Even online I struggle to just post anything to anyone and I often type things out then just don't post it because I just get all anxious about it and what I've said and how I said it then hesitate and second guess myself then usually don't end up posting unless I make myself just press post or send quickly and before I reread what I wrote to many times. Talking to people in person is so much harder though. I have gotten a bit better with posting comments and stuff online. I just don't get how some people can make friends so easily in person or online. Posting before I overthink this now.
