O my gosh even more welcomes what do I do what do I say,lol that's how I'd be in real life 
Sometimes I want to tell some of the people I know but then I think about how they might treat me differently so I don't. Just yesterday I was texting someone back and forth(one of the only forms of communication I can do without feeling stressed out) and it came up that someone needed to call someone else to tell him the plans, and he thought it should be me to call. I wanted to say "NO you don't know how stressful phone calls are for me don't make me do it!" but no instead I tried to blend in and I made the call hands trembling, it went alright, I don't think he understood what I said but that's okay the plans fell through anyway:). Also, whenever I pass someone I know and fail to see them, I just want them to know it's not that I'm ignoring them it's just that my brain is....different and faces just aren't one of the things I can remember very well. Sometimes I worry that they will see me as cold and indifferent just because I can't express myself well, if only they knew why I acted the way I did maybe I wouldn't seem so weird and insurmountably hard to talk to.

I'm not really sure where to post or where I'm supposed to be...I find it funny that I find a social Asperger's forum overwhelming....How ironic...
*hits self in forehead*
this place is very overwhelming.
same with the ircchat, thats why i only come here write a few stuff and leave.
i do that hitting forhead thing too.
people dont like that.
biology sounds like fun.

oh, i pass people without say hi to them, i even do that with my brother.
he does not mind.
people i dont know they mind alot, some people think im a snob because i dont say hi to them.
this is a big problem i have, specially at work.
i am face blind so i am bad at remembering and recognizing faces.
prosopagnosia, thats what its called.
my real problem is that if lets say i know you and ive only seen you at work, and i where to see you at a pub(yea right like i would be in a pub)
i would not recognize you untill you said your name over and over again, or of you have a beard or nosehair that i remember, or just some detail that makes me know its you.
its BS though,
i think about a lot of things when i walk, and i like looking at the ground too.
