| I get told this a lot as well. I just don't feel the need to smile to show that I am having a good time or that I'm happy. Usually I'll let it go but lately it's been really annoying me when people say 'smile' to me. example: Last week I was at a friend's 18th birthday and I was watching a routine d... |

| I'm by far not an expert on creating websites and all that but I went through it and I found it to be really interesting and accurate enough ( obviously hard to write down every single thing people on the spectrum have to deal with 'cos it's so varied). I'd definitely show it to my friends and relat... |

| I feel the same way .Not depressed but just sad and weary at the moment.When I get like this I tend to think back on the friends I've lost because I'm not social enough and they got sick of waiting for me to become more like them I guess. The friends I do have left still don't fully understand why I... |

Thanks for the prompt answers ! I'll definitely take your advice on the subject of the couple jokes and such.
If things don't change for the better I'll just have to some up the courage to ask her how she feels and explain things from my perspective. |

Irish people are usually pessimistic but again that depends on the person and ... |
