My brain is a bit scrambled after drinking alcohol and being up untill 6:00 in the morning last night LOL.

More to the point yesterday it was my friends 21st birthday. we all met at one our friends houses and at first most of my buddys were very polite to me and asked me how i was. when i went to the indian resturant for a curry thats when things started to not go so well because inside i felt a mixture of anxiety and anger, just general nervioussness about going out.

i was sitting next to some of my friends and i noticed they were all talking away and starting coversations with each other yet they did not bother talking to me or trying to start a meaningful chat with me? It dosen't matter if i feel angry or as happy as can be it does not make a difference they still don't bother trying to start a meaningful conversation with me. one of my friends who i was sitting next to i tried to start talking to him but he very blunt with me and did not want to talk to me but he had no problem to my other friends who were sitting near him. maybe its becuase i don't know to start a conversation? sometimes when i talk its more me asking questions than actually small talk?

in the resturant as well my dsyelxic friend kept saying to me when i was ordring "Come on james wake up" and when went to a nightclub/bar later in the evening and somethinge else embarresing happened to me as well.

My friends are aware that i have aspergers. to be honest as well one of my friends who has dyslexia i can have a decent conversation with if were both alone.

my brother described me as "having 0 social skills", "I can't reeally talk to anyone" and "It just does not sound natural when I talk with people". the reason why i can talk to older adults more easily is becuase they 'fake interest". Not sure why i find it easier to talk to younger people than myself?

Eh its just annoying that i can't have a meaningful conversation with some of them yet they love talking to each other and joking around but i am just left there in the corner being quiet.
