| I really appreciate all ya'll's input. You really make me consider a lot of different ideas. I do agree that 'comparing suffering' or attempting to one-up in that way is entirely pointless, even though it seems that the nature of my original post may actually promote this kind of thinking. I don't m... |

| Did the OP get a discount for pre-ordering? Because that's been my observation, that pre-orders often come with some kind of collector's item, special packaging, or bonus content in the case of digital, or they are simply available at a lower price. That way, you have some sort of incentive in buyin... |

| I feel like you need to ask yourself the question and carefully consider the answer: do you still care about this person and want to be friends with her in a healthier way, or are you wanting to cut off from her totally and be done with it? You sound super fed up and maybe like you're ready for a br... |

| Maybe not super common, but not really weird. Lots of people travel for work, have odd work hours, multiple jobs, etc. There are tons of reasons why you wouldn't/can't/don't want to eat at home. Just cause you're not looking to have a social outing doesn't mean you should have to be damned to fast f... |

| Hey guys, Good news, I've made a new friend. In terms of really considering someone a friend and enjoying a mutual relationship, I've really been "out of the loop" for the last year or two, so I feel like input/advice from you guys might help me not freak out and destroy my blossoming conn... |

| Thanks for the input guys! You make a lot of great points. I have no idea about the actual psychological state of the any of the people I'm referencing. As far as I know, they could have very real conditions or be on the spectrum, whether they have an actual diagnosis or not. I'm just saying that fr... |

I know it's possible to have things like anxiety without being on the spectrum, and I know it's possible for any human to experience any feeling at various times, including rejection or awkwardn... |

Please correct me if I'm wrong: but they couldn't possibly understand that stuff, could they? Of course I'm seeing this mostly on social media, which is innately false, but when I log onto Fa... |

| Apparently, there are "different friends for different reasons". I personally have a tendency to only want 1 friend for all reasons. Having one friend to tell everything to and do everything with is enough, and I find it exhaustingly impossible to figure out multiple people, open up to the... |

Not sure if it counts for sensory because I can't imagine anyone thinking that the sun isn't bright... but now, come to think of it, I do see a lot of people who don't wear sunglasses. Hmm. Sound - Loud sudden sounds in an otherwise quiet place drive me nut... |

| When something bad happens in your life, or something really good, or just something new, who’s the first person you want to tell? I guess it’s been a while since I’ve had a good friend like that. I just recently realized that no one is that person for me, and now I just keep everything to myself, a... |

| Sounds similar to my story. I was diagnosed with Aspergers only a few years ago. I had a lot of friends in elementary school and don’t remember having much difficulty. I shared video game or collection interests (ie Pokémon cards) with other kids, and I was really good at those types of things, so i... |

| So you're not LITERALLY mute, but just find it difficult to converse or talk near other people? The best thing I can think of is signing up for those friendship meet up groups based on your interests. I know they have apps like Tinder or like dating websites, but for friends in your area. Also, ther... |
