  1. thank you for your replies i feel their is something different about me, and not sure what is is, maybe i do have AS but i really don't want to go looking for answers if their are no answers out their. I would look really stupid going to the doctor when their is nothing wrong with me, if you know what i mean. I just feel very lonly and isolated at times, as i do want social interaction with others, but when i am in a social situation i feel anxious and awkward, and unsure what to say and do.
  2. Sorry if i am not in the right place, but would like some opinions please. I am 23 years old, i have always had problems socialy with making friends. In fact i have only really had 2 friends and that was when i was at school. and they were only friends in school, never had any social life out with school. I lost contact with these 2 friends when i left for college. College was very difficult for me and i found it hard to relate to the other students in my class. I felt like i was invisible and did not exist and was unable to join in their discussions as a group. I felt different some how. Ended up failing college as my placement did not want me as i lacked confidence, and i couldn't cope with the fact that i seemed invisible. Its not like i did not want to join in and be part of the group, i just felt that i couldn't. I find eye contact with people uncomfortable, and tend to look else where e.g down at my hands. I can't start a conversation tho i will speak when spoken to. sometimes i feel once i start talking, i talk too much about things that the person is not even interested in. then i feel like i should shut up. so their is no happy medium, i either talk a load of rubbish or do not talk at all. I find msn and yahoo great as it is the only social life i have. But most people soon get fed up with me. I have even tried to meet people from online, and they will meet me once and then they don't want to know me any more. I think inperson i come across as strange, or maybe come across as not being interested in the other person. But its not that i do not want to talk, i just do not know what to say or do? I hate talking on the phone, and will only use it if i really have to. I do not have any friends at all at the moment, and do not have a social life. My sister has tried taking me out with her and some of her friends but i don't seem to be able to 'fit in' with them. now the question is, am i just shy? or is their more to it? or maybe i am just weird? sorry to go on and feel free to say if this is not the place for me! thank you for taking the time to read this post and sorry if it is not related to your forum.
