Hello everyone,
I haven't gone to psychologist, but sometimes I wonder if I could be on the spectrum.
I read some sites on it, did some tests and its usually 50/50, so I am not sure, but probably not. So I am here to ask I someone has similar stories or personality traits.
I am 18 years old. Here's the things I noticed about me.
At primary school, a lot of teachers told me I had my own world, i wasnt focused in lectures (I was thinking about some imaginary scenarios, or something). I had friends, I wasn't outcast, but I never really had high self confidence, so sometimes I was made made fun of, but it wasn't exactly bullying. In the later years (14-15) I wasn't invited very often to celebrations and such, but I was in good terms with all of them. I never obeyed rules and I always wanted to be in good terms with teachers, I had anxiety when I got in troubles (not caused by me). I definitely got better at social skills now.
I will short the list and story because there was COVID, and I will write just what I noticed:
People sometimes say I am slightly different, but they can't describe why.
Never had girlfriend, nor kiss, I had some closer female friends. Kind of got worse now, I am not really close with anyone now, I am also shy. I could have had girlfriend, but usually at the end they picked someone else (doesn't help with confidence). I also can't tell if someone is flirting with me, until later (this is usually normal I think)
I am not the greatest in sports, I prefer solo sports, but I don't mind team sports, but I am usually on the worser side.
I play electric guitar a lot, I practice everyday for 4 years straight. I know a lot of stuff about it. Music is the main part of my life. Played some concerts. I can't really take compliments, or like accept them.
I have friends in class I play games with them and stuff, we have fun. But we are not super close, they don't invite me most of the time somewhere. I don't know why though, I don't drink alcohol very often, but this can't be the only reason.
Sometimes people tell that it's a joke, the stuff they said, that I can laugh, I get it most of the time, but I don't really know what to say.
I sometimes mimic other people's opinions, style of talking, especially if we are not very close
I am also quite absent (don't know the word), I forget things where I left them, I do things clumsy and fast, without reason
I get idioms, but not all the time, I also have some catchphrases, that I say very often, classmates use them now too.
The main reason is, that I passed carschool now and I do a lot of mistakes like turning left when instructor said right, he said that I don't pay much attention sometimes, and much more. It's like I am missing some kind of basic human functions, and it didn't affect me very much until now.
I can't really describe myself, so if you have some questions, it would be better I think.
Thanks in advance
