I’ve been bullied for so many years, always been different. Two years ago I got the label ‘asperger syndrome’, I’ve had so much trouble accepting it, I still hate it that I’m like this. I can’t have a meaningful conversation, I can’t even keep a regular conversation going for 5 minutes. People abandon me all the time, every time I think I’m getting close to someone, that person pushes me away, it makes me feel so lonely. I feel alone in this world, I belong nowhere. And I’m failing college miserably. And then there’s a lot of stuff at home, I just don’t know why I should stay alive, it’s just not worth it anymore…

I feel sorry for you, that must be very difficult.
Remember that conversation isn’t the only thing other people value in life.
You probably have other skills, with which you can make a positive difference in other people’s lives.
If you help others with their problems, they will be grateful and like you, regardless of your conversation skills.
I’d like to add that you are eloquent in writing, and you sound like a pleasant person to me.
🙂
I’m not that good at helping people with their problems, I don’t know when I should say something, or what I should say. Nor do I know when it’s appropriate to touch people.
People always say that I have other skills, I used to have good grades in high school, but that’s over now that I’m in college.
But I’ll take your compliment on my writing, especially since English isn’t my native language. I don’t get many you know, so I don’t know how to react to them when I do get a compliment.
This Aspergers syndrome is just so hard, I don’t get how people can live with this. Every environment, every person is different. So every time there’s even one variable different, I panic, I shut down. And then I have to relearn interacting with people all over again. It is too exhausting.
I think there are plenty of us who have not been diagnosed with Aspergers who struggle with social skills. We also don’t know when to say or what to say sometimes. And, those I know who have Aspergers are such awesome people. They’re superbright, friendly and witty! I have to go to sleep as I have a serious day tomorrow ahead. Would love to chat more next time! *hugs*
Not everybody with Aspergers is the same, unfortunately I am not such an awesome person.
I think I should go to bed too, good night
Oh yes, you are. You’re unique. I’m unique. Point I’m making is, you’re wonderful. You might have Aspergers, the next person might have Poor Sensory Integration, person 3 will have 3rd diagnostic condition, nobody can say they’re perfect. Each one of us can only do the little bit we can each day. Gnite – sleep tight.
I have Aspergers , Chief Keef the rapper has Aspergers too. If your into rap look at one of his interviews, you’ll see that he struggles with communicating, like us! Idk if that will help, but seeing a public figure/celeb. going through what I go through helps a little. Even if his music is crappy(: I’m also failing miserably in school
I know there are people like me, but not everybody handles things the same way. Not everybody can handle life.
I just wish I was like everybody else, because that is what people want from you, that is what society wants from you, that is what I want.
I know people will tell me that I’m unique, everybody is unique, we should respect each other,… It’s just nonsense, I don’t fit in. I’m a square peg in a round hole, and that’s a bad thing. I’m just pathetic, weak and worthless.
Hey, babyshoes, please read my responses in curly brackets to what you’ve written 🙂
I’ve been bullied for so many years, always been different. {The bullying can stop. You just have to figure out how you can make them stop. What they are doing is wrong and you can tell them off in a strong and assertive way. You can say, “A bully is seen by others to be an idiot. I would like you to be seen by others to be intelligent. Your choice.” or try “The principal has instructed me to report any bullying to him. It looks like I’m going to have to report you.” Then go report the matter to the principal. The fact that you have differences is what makes you unique from anybody else. ANY two persons, if you put them together, will have many many differences} Two years ago I got the label ‘asperger syndrome’, I’ve had so much trouble accepting it, I still hate it that I’m like this. {Having a label is one thing, knowing which symptoms of Asperger’s you’re supposedly affected with is another thing. Also, remember, being diagnosed doesn’t mean the diagnosis is correct. There is the possibility of a misdiagnosis} I can’t have a meaningful conversation, I can’t even keep a regular conversation going for 5 minutes. {What you’ve said on here is 100% meaningful. Why do you think that what you say when in conversation is not meaningful? Also, have you noticed that people on the bus and in meetings with strangers, generally do not even communicate? Now that would be not being able to hold a conversation for even 1 minute! :)} People abandon me all the time, every time I think I’m getting close to someone, that person pushes me away, it makes me feel so lonely. {This happens to almost everyone, if not to everyone on the planet.} I feel alone in this world, I belong nowhere. {You belong. You just haven’t yet found some nice enough individuals to be friends with yet} And I’m failing college miserably. {It’s okay to fail college. You can always retry another year when you feel you have a sufficient support framework you need to redo it and get through college} }And then there’s a lot of stuff at home, I just don’t know why I should stay alive, it’s just not worth it anymore… {It is worth it, babyshoes. And we’re gonna talk some more, ok ? xx

I just wish I was like everybody else, because that is what people want from you, that is what society wants from you, that is what I want. {We are like everybody else in many respects. We all have to pee, sleep, eat, drink, go to school, go to work, come home drained, etc}
I know people will tell me that I’m unique, everybody is unique, we should respect each other,… It’s just nonsense, I don’t fit in. {Not nonsense. You do fit in. You fit in here very well, isn’t it?} I’m a square peg in a round hole, and that’s a bad thing. {Those bullies are square pegs in round holes. Why does your school not do something about this? It is against the rules of the school and against the rules of society to bully anybody} I’m just pathetic, weak and worthless. {You are not pathetic. You are not weak. You are not worthless. This is merely your sadness and how you are viewing things that is causing you to say those false statements.}
