Is this normal? (female-related)

Post Reply New Topic

This is just something that's been bothering me for a long time now, and I'm really sick of keeping it to myself.

I'm a huge nerd, mostly about gaming. I'm also the weird person, who stacks completely unrelated foods, wears mishmashes of clothes, and changes their personality from day to day. The creepy person who stares at you in class and looks you up on the Internet. I only talk when talked too, but somehow manage to make people laugh constantly.

In general, I'm just a nerdy-weirdo.

Having a complete lack of social skills and having just made my first friend two months ago, the fact that I can't stop thinking about girls in general is bad enough.

But what's really worse, is the fact that the ones I can't stop thinking about are the ones that I'd never be able to have, even if I did have social skills. The only girls I can actually see myself ever having are ones just as nerdy as me, but those aren't the ones I think about. The ones I can't stop thinking about are, if you must give them some clique-type label, (I don't like using cliques and labels) would be "emo."

Is it normal to want that which you could never have? I don't understand why I like "emo" girls, but I do, and I can't stand it! I made one whom is in my Communications Technologies class burst out laughing when she saw a shot in my video for our scavenger hunt assignment. (it was a close shot of this kid I'm always creepy too, while his back was turned, for 6 seconds) It made me happy, but I really am unhappy that it made me happy!

Safety, distance, to want so much and know you can't have. Means you won't have to worry about not being totally loved and accepted. You have to jump off the cliff to feel flight. You might hit water and swim as a mermaid would, you might grow wings and fly, you might splat.

Is it truley safer to only watch and never be hurt by circumstances, or to jump and feel all that comes with it, to play the game and love as much as only you can and to take it all as a part of life.

You can do it, you can step into life and express your brilliance, for what other reason would you be born?

Oh to jump and jump again. What a brilliant life we have. Then we jump the last time and we cry out with divine glee, I did it!

It seems normal. I usually don't feel that way about people for relationships. But a lot of guys on the site seem to say similar things to the things you said.

if you're having trouble making friends in the first place, of either gender, perhaps you should put off the female friends for a few years.

you'll want experience having real friends before you go that far, at least try to make some friends first, you'll feel more happy.

Yes, I would consider that normal for an aspie. I'm almost the same way. When ever I think of trying to make friends, girls are my first choice. I've always felt more comfortable around them than I did guys.

Yes. It is normal. Even for NT's, I think.

I think most people want what they cant get....but ofcourse you never know...

it's normal to want wat you cant have and besides emo girls are just friging hot. girls van be very harsh but emo girls usualy arn't atleast here in holland there not. i'm not sure i'm giving the right advice but i think you should try to talk to (emo) girls but just dont try and seduce them or something because that could turn out horibly. when you think about it "emo's" kinda are weird and as far as i know weird people like weird weird people

Hi5 on making a friend! You know, Kurt Cobain was an outcast in high school until he discovered punk rock. Then he became a superstar and got a wife.
Everyone is somewhere on the Nerd<------>Jock scale. That doesn't have to define you. Not if you find your style.
I've heard people say things like "Darcy has absolutely no friends. Like he' s the ultimate nerd!". I've also heard "That little skater kid's always alone. I feel bad for him. I want to be his friend." From equally evil people.
Trust me, express you're dark side and it won't matter if you're more the intellectual type than athletic.
Here's how to get around poor social skills: get a look and people who like it will come to you. Also, maybe make them aware that you're aware your social skills suck and nice people will make it easier for you.
P.S. I bet your hair is short. Grow it like me. You'll look distinguished.XD

Really, you can't say there's something you can't have 'til you've actually tried getting it. Also, when it's about relationships, you never really know.

And well, I think it's normal for EVERYONE to want things that they can't have. It's human.

It doesn't really matter if you're a weirdo. I'm sure someone might find you interesting (really, sometimes us girls like boys that one wouldn't normally consider attractive) and well, it also doesn't matter if you only think about emo girls. When it's about love, looks and style lose all importance. You might end up falling in love with someone you never thought you would (believe me, it happens).

Just don't rush things. Try making new friends first. Try seeing how relationships do work before you try anything romantic :)

Oh and by the way, I do believe some emo girls might be interested in videogames.

It is very normal to want what you can't have. Sorry if this sounds overtly romantic, but it is human nature to dream and set goals for the future.

If you like this girl and feel as though she could be a future match for you, then by all means 'chase after her' and definitely don't let being Aspie stop you.

While the stereotype with girls is that they like guys who can talk endlessly to them and tell them how beautiful they are, I know for a fact there are acceptions to that rule. There are girls out there who would die (figuratively) to date an intelligent and creative albeit quiet boy.

During my freshman year (and this was long before I even knew what Asperger was), I had a fascination with emos and had a crush on an emo girl in my French class. I knew about my social problems, but I felt empowered to approach her and work on an assignment together and eventually we became partners on several different projects. I felt like I was about ready to talk to her about something other than French when I learned that she was a lesbian and was already dating a girl. Oh well.

Good luck with your endeavours. =)
