I should be punished with the curse of Death. I keep on making social mistakes, no matter how old I am. I always end up hurting feelings and losing friends. I've made up a comment about being an 18 foot, 500 lb Bus in the Love and Dating forum. I've deleted it, because I've realized the wrong-doing of my actions and my words. I'll be a loner for the rest of my life. Is there a hole that I can crawl into?

Please don't be so hard on yourself. We all make make mistakes. I didn't see your post, but I'm sure no one here took it personally. Social problems are all part of AS and that's why everyone is here. I don't think you've lost any friends here over it. I don't think we could image WrongPlanet without you. Did you do anything fun for your birthday?

I know it's hard, but just try to forget it and move on. Don't let one comment ruin your day. Don't believe for a second that you'll be a loner for the rest of your life. Sometimes I wish I could be alone (from a man, not my kids). I don't have many friends (pretty much none), either, but I find other things to keep me occupied. I learned a long time ago to depend on myself so that I wouldn't be so hurt by lacking friends. Do you have a pet? Animals love you unconditionally and don't care about our social mistakes. They just love.

Yes there is a hole you can crawl into, it's called WrongPlanet ;).

I saw no problem with the bus comment... how was that a social mistake?

My sister and her husband came over, on Sunday Evening and we all sat around and talked about the Wedding. Yesterday was my actual Birthday and I've spent it packing stuff up for my move.

I have my cute little Chico. He's such a sweet wittle Wheaten. :heart:

Yesterday was a tough day. My mum forgot to wish me a Happy Birthday, and than she told me to get packing, and that I've had a lot to do. I've kept on packing to keep my Mind from wondering. I'd like to believe that I've changed, since I was ten and that I put my work before my obsessions.

CR:
We all have bad days. A belated happy birthday from all of us. WP wouldn't be the same without you, and we may only be an online community, but we love you. Now stop being so down.

Your mother forgot your birthday? And told you to get packing? That's downright cruel, whether it was conscious on her part or not. And then maybe your guardian angel (who is either a mod or a rocker) guided you over here to WP and got you to say anything, anything at all - to the people who care about you (that's us). So then we get to find out how you are, which is what really matters.

You know, there was a Christmas that I was packing, years ago. I was living with Sis who had said, since I was leaving anyway, could I be out by Christmas? Since we don't celebrate it and she was getting time off work. Well that hurt. It still hurts. It's not *rational* for it to hurt - we don't spend Christmas together anyway. But what she said hurt.

I'm trying to say, you're a human - a very good human btw - be gentle with yourself.

If that is worthy of the curse of death, what do you get for forgetting birthdays?

My father forgot my son's birthday last April. I still feel angst about it (he still has remembered). I should tell him.

Your mother probably overlooked it becuase of your sister's wedding and you moving out, there is a lot happening. You should say something about your birthday.

I'm sorry to hear about your social problems, CockneyRebel, but, like nina and Dark Red Beloved said, we all make such mistakes. Why, just yesterday, I accidentally insulted my boss. (It's a good thing she had already completed my midterm evaluation.) And besides, if you really want to leave home, as you have indicated before, you should look upon packing as a birthday present in disguise. Your not doing work on your birthday. Your receiving the gift of independence.

We did celebrate on Sunday, but it's still taken me by suprise that I wasn't wished a Happy Birthday, by my mum on my actual Birthday and was told to get packing and that I had a lot to do. Most of the packing was done, last week, and I've packed five boxes, yesterday because I didn't want my Mind to wander the way it did, when I was obsessed with maps, at the age of ten.
