I thought I was special...unique.

There ARE people like me out there!! !! !! !! !! !! ! I don't feel so alone anymore.

Everyone is unique, it's a good thing

As humans we are unique to each other, though for us aspies we're unique among the unique, and that makes things fairly lonely sometimes.
Thank goodness for the internet!

I feel relieved, as well, to have found a group of like uniques. I keep finding topics about behavior, preferences, or abilities I'd never seen in another person before, or only very rarely. Sometimes special means seperate, too, and that does get lonely.

Most people want to be like everyone else and in that sense they're not very unique. It takes courage to swim against that tide.

Welcome to WP.

Amen to that! I feel the same.

I thought I was the loneliest guy on Earth. Why? Because I posted a lot on the lonely person's forum, AlonelyLife.com, and there was nobody like me there - I think I just irritated them. But now I know why. A lonely NT and a lonely AS are completely different creatures, lonely in different ways, for different reasons. Most of the people there lacked self esteem. Me? I have tons of self esteem, but I am just different.

Here on WP, for the first time in my life, I am not so different from other people, not fundamentally. I love it here!

Like Sting said: "can't I do anything original?"

Somehow I always knew I wasn't alone. I knew there had to be someone like me somewhere in the world. Sure enough I was right.

Ditto. It seemed statistically impossible for me to be that special 1 in 7.1 billion. (Although, I'm not exactly sure I've found my "replica" in this world, but it seems I've been getting ever closer.)

Also, on that tangent, I was hoping to find that "other person" out there who's supposedly the other half of my existence one of these days (A notion described by the Greeks), but I'm converging to the possibility that the would-be "other half" out there would just be interested in someone else considering that there are universally attractive traits that my existence up until now suggests I don't possess. Oh well. I'm not going to let that keep me down!

I only discovered this safe haven a short while ago.

I've lived over half a century 'not waving, but drowning' and I now know there are people out there who would recognize the signs and throw me a lifebelt. There isn't a word to describe how good that feels

Exactly how I felt joining (incidentally, I'm new too)! !! Welcome!!
