I feel uncomfortable

Post Reply New Topic

It would be better if I were in a support group, for me it is not working out here.I feel very insecure here except facebook.

What are the things that make you feel uncomfortable?

What are you looking for in a support group that you feel would be more effective for you than an internet forum?

I guess this forum can't be all things to all people. But since you made the post, I assume you want to start some dialog on this issue.

I was thinking that deeply in my mind that I feel that going to a support group can really beneficial since i get to talk to people with AS. Almost all of my friends and families are NTs and none of them understand me about it. Its like I was born on the Moon but adopted into Earth and have no idea what to do here. Everybody I know in my life are ALWAYS chatty, I feel left out from any conversation because of AS. ironically i can still chat with anybody but still hard for me to chat with anyone. I feel like that I wish for everyone in the whole world should be educated with AS to simply end all of this hurtful info on us then to support a cure. People with AS are people too. Read the 14th amendment, people should not judge people by their mental problems as with race and ethnicity.

sorry for the digression but, I want to go to a support group, the group knows alot more about it then anybody else and talk about my problems more easily then the internet.

That makes sense to me.

I like this forum, but I think a face to face kind of group would be very helpful as well. (Although I suspect I'd be too terrified to show up.)

I think one of the down sides of an internet forum is that communication is slow and erratic. Also a lot of meaning is lost when the things people say must be reduced to text on a screen. And there is something about being in a room with another person whom you have grown comfortable with that is relaxing and reassuring.

I often feel that much of my communication on the internet is in one direction. I blather on a lot, but I don't necessarily feel like I am in a two way conversation. This isn't as fulfilling as a face to face conversation where you get more feedback that indicates someone has heard you.

Do you know of any AS groups in your area?
