| The thing is I want someone to talk to and I always wanted to prove the bullies wrong in high school (and some adults) who told me I would never get married. In fact, I considered suicide back in high school but thought things would get better. Now as I take a look back over 20 years later, I know I... |

| Thanks for your help everyone. I've tried online dating sites but I happen to be a short guy (5'2") and never get responses from women since they are looking for the "Tall, Dark, and Handsome" men. I just got rejected by a woman I thought was interested in me today and she won't even talk to me. It'... |

| I'd say teens are the worst, especially the high school aged teens. I have had some harassment from immature adults including one co-worker who just got out of high school and when I was alone would walk up to me and tell me how I will never get married and that I was a loser. Every time I screwed u... |

| I think a lot of people think I don't like people at all because I am willing to talk to cats, pet them, and hug them. I find it easier to talk to a pet because there really isn't any social norms and animals rarely reject their owners. They give you unconditional love while my experiences with peop... |

| This is a hard question to answer. I probably wouldn't try the "cure" at first because I have taken anti-depressants and had bad side effects and some were not listed as side effects. If the "cure" was safe, then I would consider trying it even though it is kind of too late for me at the age of 40. ... |

| I wasn't too fond of lunchtime! I disliked the taste of school lunch and didn't have any friends so I often found myself eating alone. I also was ridiculed in the lunchroom. I usually went to the Library and read copies of Compute! magazine (it was the 80s) and asked the Librarian to make copes of s... |

| Unfortunately I was one of the people who were seen as dumb. In kindergarten, a teacher noticed something strange with how I bounced the ball and contacted my parents to indicate that she thinks I am challenged. After some tests at a local University, it was determined I wasn't mentally challenged. ... |

| It really isn't the fact that I'm unmarried and probably never will be married that bothers me, what makes me feel lonely is I have no friends and would also enjoy the company of a female companion at movies but this isn't an option for me. In addition, Valentines day and any couples types of events... |

| Unfortunately it has been hard for me to accept that I have Asperger's. I was always ridiculed in school and told I would never get married and after being diagnosed realize that the kids who said I will never get married are correct. I don't want to live life alone but even though some people with ... |

I do feel pity for people in bad situations and answered yes to a lot of the questions about empathy but in reality ... |
