My superhuman senses that will never f**k off for five minutes and let me be a real human being. Everything is enhanced and I can't even complain about it because then I have people saying "Oh wow! Your hearing is that good? I wish mine was that good. You're sooooo lucky!"

:evil:

Hypersensitive hearing, although really nice at some points, really is more of a curse... I hate hearing things in such a way that it makes my ear hurt, and how bright lights hurt my eyes.

maditude-
My worst aspect is my facial expressions. I often look like I am in pain or I am going to kill somebody
that is hillarious! i think i look that way when im walking down a crowded street.

worst aspect for me is being tortured- noise, touch, light- unable to think clearly. i look 'normal', too, so it makes it seem worse.

saddest aspect- i hate being hugged, and touched, hate being around people. im still lonely though, but i cant get married because of it.

That would be social interaction and anxiety.

the speech issues are my main problem

then there's the memory of how i've squandered all my God-given talents and privileges, driven away everyone who's ever been close to me, and consistently violated my own good nature due to ignorance about my condition, and how the concepts of pride and self-respect are alien to me, and how the only thing I have to show for 20 years of existence is a reasonable grip on reality, but that's a whole different story...

Sometimes noises and touch irritate me, nothing too painful though. I have a very short fuse when it comes to my emotions. This is probably why certain people make me have a meltdown. My social skills are poor. I try to socialise and I'm ok with one on one conversation, but I remain silent in group conversations. Sometimes I'm a bit awkward when I'm alone and there are people I don't know near me. My relationship skills are pretty poor too.

Lack of friends mainly.

And also, with regard to the one friend that I've got, I have a kind of asymmetric relationship with him since he has many friends he needs to share time amongst while I just got him. That makes the friendship a bit stressful sometimes.

Marco, I know what you mean. It's what happens to me if I ever do have a friend.

Probably social interaction and worries. I can worry about some changes and new stuff.

For me, I would say the social interaction, most other things that are present, even the sensory issues, for me aren't as bad as the social. On top of that is the fact that I am still sentient and realize that I am not like everyone else, and unable to ever truly be like everyone else, and if I were not able to realize this and feel the difference it wouldn't be so bad. Anyways, the social aspects is the worst part for me. I do have some mild sensory issues, but for the most part, I can live with them. As for other things, I can't think of too many others right now, so they must not be that bad... As for special interest type things, that is the passion for which I live, so I would rate that as a good thing.

^This and being misconstrued while interacting.
