I am excruciatingly lonely. I do everything right in trying to attract friends, but I still fail. And with a few exceptions, "friendships" only last a few days.


Tim, I don't know you, but I do know you're exeeding presence here. You're obviously a good guy, so what's wrong? I don't know, can't offer the solution, but I've a little tip. Take a break. The thing you are interested in, devote yourself to that-for the moment. To keep trying, only to fail-sucks. If you don't know why you are failing, then maybe it's time to relax, take yourself out of the immediate equation, and let your mind gather the thoughts needed at a different and less stressful time.

Hope your situation improves dude. Head up. I say this with a different meaning in mind-check out the sky, the things around you. The world's amazing, it's the immediate worries that take us away from natural beauty (and even artificial beauty!), perhaps this is trite, but it comes from a guy that does this to great effect. Forcing change is quite difficult, so don't force it, just try it.

G'luck to ya! :P


And I wasn't even necessarily talking about relationships. I struggle even to keep friendships--even with other Aspies. I always initiate the conversation now, but correspondences rarely still last more than a few days. I feel that the problem is me, despite having a plan in life and actively following that plan. I feel like it's because I don't talk about the right topics.


well what DO you talk about that seems to drive everyone away?

That's the thing. I don't think there's anything I talk about that is driving everyone away.

99999999999999999999999999 because since I am so famous that I have my first official collector of my artwork!! There is a possibility that she is going to buy 4 of my original drawings at around $140 each!! There is 100% of buying at least one but she really likes my art so much that she keeps on going back to the gallery to see my art! And the gallery owner said that my art cards and bookmarks are selling very well and I might be one of his biggest successes there. Originally I was only going to be there for a month but if I do this well, he might have me permanently there! I'm getting up there in the art world and everyone is shocked on how well I do colored pencils. I have a website and if you want to know it, ask me. Then you will see my beautiful art but its not totally updated yet because my dad handles all the website stuff and won't let anyone else touch it and he is slow!

1 Lonely and tired of this prison I guess I create. Feel trapped and have always seem to make poor choices in escaping it....

..and I hate having AS or whatever it is. People seem to assume I'd prefer to be alone since I'm "too quiet."
