Hi, my name is Jacob, I'm 21 and from Denmark, and I have asperger. Lately I've been feeling depressed and lonely. I only have a handful of friends and only one I consider to be truly close with. I truly feel like an alien right now, like I'm different from everybody else and nobody gets my problem, so I'm hoping I can get some likeminded friends in here to talk about it with. :D

If it makes you feel a bit better, I've got no one to talk to as a friend.

Welcome, I suppose. We're both new here, so welcome, me, too! XD

Hey :)! I still consider myself relatively new but that's probably because I am not very active on here when my mind feels blank. You are from Denmark? I'm sorta learning Danish at the moment (considering I'll be in Scandinavia soon) :P but I am currently learning Swedish so that gets in the way haha.

Welcome to the forums, Jacob. All I can say is cherish the friends you have now. It is of course alright to seek other friends or aquintances as well, but value what you already have.

Regards,
Muziek

As a musical term for sure, "the '80s" imply the late '70s and early '90s. You can think of them as tapers of this golden decade.

Welcome to this forum!

I too am in my 20s and diagnosed with Asperger's. I can totally relate to you. For the past 17 years I have been constantly shunned and ostracized by other people. This has caused me to be depressed, lonely, and at times even suicidal. I don't have many friends either. Only a few and perhaps just 2 who I consider 'close friends'.

Things haven't been rough for me in the last year or 2 thankfully. I discovered a Ted Talk which described what Asperger's is. I showed it to my professors and classmates via email. The majority stopped mistreating me. It felt pretty good.
