I haven't had an opportunity to find a new avatar now that I'm back in school.

People just pretended I didn't exist in a "count to x in y increments" thread, ignoring the numbers I posted and continuing the numbers from before I posted... It made me feel sad :(

I dunno why I posted here originally, popularity isn't something I care about and I seek no pity. :?

Maybe one day in the future autistic people worldwide will be seen as common place in society but, until then, I'll simply be the outsider whom continues to do things in ways that are unorthodox but, effective

Nah! The media representation of "normalness" means we're always going to be stranger than just a bit odd. The only option is to pretend to be more normal than commonplace normal by running ahead of emerging fads.

I just found this thread.

WP is the closest I get to anything that resembles a "social life." According to the 'norm' out in the real world, that's a pretty sad state of affairs. That used to make me sad, because that's how you're supposed to feel when people say, "That's sad." But now it just confuses me. Should I feel sad? I don't know any more.

I have a mind for spotting detail, so I'm sometimes appreciated for my technical ability, but as a person? Well, maybe not so much. Not even on a forum.

Popularity to me is a lot like celebrity - charisma isn't logical to me. What does it produce? What works, or thoughts, or positives come from it? Charisma just piggy-backs onto what's already there, to make the work, opinions or positive things seem more valid. That's just not logical. But what would I know... I have no charisma... lol

I feel like I can at least relax a tiny bit at WP. Struggling with social conventions is normal here.

Screw it, this where I'll post when I'm feeling low from things on the forum.
I should never have posted what I look like, I didn't come to this forum to try to find someone. I did it purely so people would have an idea who they are talking too, I hate complete anonymity. Two poor girls already sent me private messages about my looks. I tried to let them off as lightly as I could and neither ever responded back. I have this phobia of people liking how I look, probably seated in some deep seated childhood fears. I felt like I might have been too harsh and upset them and I don't like to do this :wall:
I might not be interested, but it still hurts to watch people skirt around me showing interest and then running for the hills.
Some days I wish I was cut up and half dead so my internal self would match my outside so people would just give me a wide berth. I feel like such an ass, so many male aspies crave the kind of attention I get and I just refuse it.
