An ex-acquaintance (can't really call friend, don't have many of those), threw some nasty comments my way in an email. Apparently conversing with me was a chore as the conversations tended to be one-sided and the subject always went to me and my latest obsession. According to this ex-acquaintance I don't care about anyone else and everything is about me. My hugs have no feeling in them, well sorry if I felt really awkward and don't know how to react to people, sorry I don't get subtle hints. There was a whole lot more, but I just can't be bothered to type it all up, I'm sure I'll over analyse this later when I'm supposed to be sleeping. People

Well there you go you answered it yourself "ex - acquaintence" !!

True friends don't make nasty comments but are supportive and understanding, that why I think you find that most people including me only really have a very few real friends.

Don't let it get to you.

You communciate very well on here and are a pleasure to have around.

Thanks Clare, that was nice to hear. I know I shouldn't let it get to me, but it always does.

You are not alone you know. Does not matter who or what you are there are plently of nasty, selfish people out there, whom I'll never understand.

I'm no good at 'friends'

There are a couple of threads in the post adolescent section on being married to an Aspie, where several of us discussed all the positives about such a partnership, as well as some of the less easy areas!

Don't over analyse, consider why this person is an ex-aquaintance and move on. When I first met my OH, it was the level of knowledge that he had about music and art that attracted me. The fact that he wasn't used to being hugged...intrigued me!

I can count my true freinds on one hand...

other people i know seem to think if you have 1100 people in ur email/my space / facebook then and only then are you populaur

what a load of rubbish my mates have been there to see me cry laugh get fat get to skinny tell me i look like c**p,

i have many ex - acquaintences who i thought were freinds unil i got to the point that i was fed up of having to be someone else to satisfy a so called mate,

the point (sorrry long winded!) i am trying to make is you are you - your freinds accept you for you mine know i ramble on and always ask me for the short version but know i mean no harm and would do anything for them hope we can be mates!! x x x Lyn x x x

i do take things too heart too much so i understand how you feel,i thought it was a nasty email and you are so much better off without this so called friend in your life <'>

[bikergal]

I often feel extremely lonely and isolated but I do seem to have one friend at the moment. I'm not great at friendship. Try to put it behind you <'>

That nasty email says far more about the person writing it than about you.
