I'm 23 years old (about to become 24) and i dont have experience with socializing. Sometimes i feel very different from other people and i want to be completely isoleted and dont want others to see me. I thought social anxiety was the main problem that keeps me behind but no. I have aspergers so i feel alienated and cant communicate properly. Anyway. I hate my life

You can socialize with us.

Why not try that?

When I was your age, I did a social communication course.
I suggest you do the same.

And, yes, life is a biatch for everyone. 8)

I think it gets easier over time. It just takes longer for us than NT’s. I’m 32 and I’m doing a lot better than I did in my 20’s. I still have a ways to go. You might do better during your 20’s if you try. My problem is that I barely tried in my 20’s.
