Thanks! I'm having a lot of trouble understanding people's intentions towards me. And I think they misunderstand me all the time. I have a very hard time knowing when someone is making a joke. Someone I knew recently got tired of telling me he was joking when we were talking. I can say that people think I don't have sense of humor. I barely laugh nowadays. I'm really sad. I can't get any friends for real. Can someone tell me what to do?
Thanks sweetie, you seem lovely.Hi clg, hi isadoorian. Hi Beach life. I am eager to talk and listen too. What is making you sad?
I also want people to be genuine. I get mad when they lie. But the problem is when I say what I truly feel they get mad at me.I realky feel for you Sarah.
I completely relate to the part about being sad. Genuine friendships are hard to come by. I just want genuine acceptance and understanding too. I know I can be a fiercly loyal friend and have had huge problems in not being g able to filter out people who are taking advantage of me. You will enjoy it here...I do. It's providing me with a sense of belonging and that's a magical sprinkle of hope
And you too. I have done that too. I have cut people as well. When were you diagnosed? Have you read up about the way females on the spectrum often fall victim to users? Tony Attwood did a great talk on it its on YouTube. There are positives believe it or not. Once people realise how real we are, they will never have to second guess our motivesBeach life, I immediately react when I feel threatened, used. I just cut any contact. I think it is not the best way to deal with it but what else can i do Also I'm happy you are loyal. We need more people like you.
Ohhhh do I hear you there. Completely relate 100 %. Ive heard it said tjT we just need to find more friends on the spectrum. I hope to meet some friends in life as well as online one day, try to go to conferences etc.I also want people to be genuine. I get mad when they lie. But the problem is when I say what I truly feel they get mad at me.
I want to give you constructive advice since that's what you asked for. Are they really using you? If they are it's good you are cutting them off. I have to go, will chat again here soonBeach life, I immediately react when I feel threatened, used. I just cut any contact.

What is making me really sad is that our countrys health system is not helping me. I had huge problems to get the diagnosis for endometriosis which is currently and, finally, diagnosed. It caused me terrible pain. Now for asperger im finding it to be harder. They told me they could see me in 2 or 3 months. The solution I think, is to pay someone to make the diagnosis. But I have read a lot about it . I relate to asperger 100%.Ohhhh do I hear you there. Completely relate 100 %. Ive heard it said tjT we just need to find more friends on the spectrum. I hope to meet some friends in life as well as online one day, try to go to conferences etc.
I just cut someone off like 2 hours ago. And that made me feel really sad. I tought he could be my friend. I just don't wanna talk to him anymore. I already blocked any comunication with him.I want to give you constructive advice since that's what you asked for. Are they really using you? If they are it's good you are cutting them off.
