I just... Really don't like it when people tell me I'm wrong for believing in what I do, or trying to do good things and not do bad things.

Back to loneliness. Even the people I meet online, if there's a connection, it's still... Hard. I don't get a hug, or a hand on the shoulder, and it just doesn't feel as whole as it would in real life. There's no one I know that understands me, and it's a very lonely feeling.


I related to the bolded.

I feel lonely a lot of the time... a lot now cuz all my close friends are leaving to go to college... I'm here by myself now.. I miss them so much.. the hugs I get from them I will miss it sooo much.. I was friendless for 15 years and don't want to feel alone that way again even tho it won't be 15 years.. I wish I can find some people who I can hang out with
only a handful of people from church know I have AS (handful are my friends, who are leaving :( )
