    Imaginary Alter E

    Do it! If you have something you're passionate about, do it! You don't need to release it or even show it to people if you don't want to. If there's one thing I've learned from being an aspie, it's when I enjoy something, engulf myself in it, because I seldom find topics or hobbies I can attach...

    Imaginary Alter E

    No embarrassment necessary That's awesome! I really wish I could go into depth like that on a daydream. Have you ever considered trying to bring her to life? Like writing stories or such about her or making her (you) the star of a short book or something?

    Imaginary Alter E

    I talk to myself as if I'm talking to an imaginary person. I practice talking to people by talking to myself.

    Imaginary Alter E

    I've never been able to put words to that! Despite my hate of working, I always rose through the ranks, outperformed those I worked with, and I feel like I am more calm under pressure due to my experience handling panic attacks and anxiety throughout my life. Maybe lol.

    Imaginary Alter E

    But seriously, I have a wall of masks for every occasion. Even one as simple as going to pick up take out.

    Imaginary Alter E

    I totally do this too. I realized when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade I was different and by 4th, I had a whole wall of these for different situations. The first person I told about my ASD didn't believe me at first because I act so normal, which is weird considering how often I'm panicking on the...

    Imaginary Alter E

    When I was young (and still to this day), I would watch superhero movies, and I'd see the pin they went through trying to keep their secret identities and hiding their powers. As I aged and struggled socially, I would subtly joke to myself that I was a superhero, and my logical/non emotional...

    I need some help understanding this

    You may try reading the book, behind locked doors, by Paul louden, I believe. It helped me initially understand a lot about my own life. The author has a remarkably effective way of explaining what those on the ASD spectrum experience day to day. Might be worth the read.

    Have A Thing For People Wear Glasses

    Tattoos aren't hipster. I agree many hipsters have them, but please don't label the group. They're a way I express myself.

    I need some help understanding this

    If you haven't already, I'd pay explicit attention to the words being said rather than the emotion behind the words. I personally don't respond to emotional signals, implications, or sarcasm, which means I take words quite literally. For example, when someone tells me to come over soon, in a...

    Have A Thing For People Wear Glasses

    I'm attracted to girls who wear glasses for sure. They come off as more nerdy and intelligent. I'd like to think that matches myself. I also think tattoos are attractive. What it usually comes down to is something small though, like the way she pulls her hair behind her ear or the way she shyly...

    Pushing everyone away

    I find that I experience this exact thing in waves, but got the most part I just don't want to be around or talk to people anymore. My mom seems to have a gift for finding my "button" and pushing that sucker all day. My family is ignorant. They made my life hell and told me I was making up a lot...

    Not able to explain emotions.

    Yes! I've never been able to really grasp that concept. To this day, I can't explain much past positive and negative.

    Rejection is killing me

    I'm 22 years old, and I live in a highly religious culture, of which the active members seem to get married by 22 years old (if not younger). All my friends have always had relationships, but I have also never been in a relationship. I've noticed many people on here haven't. Quite frankly, that...

    Terrible Secret?

    I have experienced similar things. My whole life I felt and knew I was different but couldn't figure it out. I didn't fit in. I could blend for a while but it frustrated me. People and their tendencies frustrated me. Relationships were difficult and close to non existant. Around the age of 19, I...
