I seem to think a lot of people don't like me I mean they rarely wanted to socialise with me at college and uni and I was always the one left alone in class while everyone socialised with each other, on social media, people don't really chat to me, message me, comment etc anymore and this I probably admit has been due to probably posting negative statuses, rants and moans because stuff was bothering me, jealous of people by what I saw them doing online and wanted to get it off my chest and get people to understand which didn't always work as it over time began to alienate people from me (now I stopped and don't post anything on there anymore). Been on dating sites and people on them don't all the time message when I message them, all I get is views and that's it. I even seem to think people look at me in a weird way as though they might be thinking 'He is weird' because of how I look (I mean I like to wear casual jeans, a shirt over a t-shirt and a cardigan), because I have quite long hair, because of my body language (I do get quite flustered when it is busy a work for example I had to blow up balloons for someone yesterday and she was getting fed up with how I was taking ages trying to tie the strings to the balloons and how high she wanted them and said 'I don't think he knows what he is doing', get someone else.' She was making me fed up and I did feel like storming out the back and kicking something but I knew not to do that).

You just can't compare yourself to other people.

You don't have to go to bars/clubs in order to find love.

I don't dislike you.

But you seem to think that most people like bars/clubs, and think that this is the way people find their partner. I've never actually successfully dated a woman from the headquarters of a bar/club.

I don't dislike you either.

Judging from what you wrote it seems like those people don't dislike you so much as you are largely unnoticed by other people and thus being socially neglected.

Some people like you and some people don't

Some people neither

That is the same for everyone

There are seven billion people

It's mostly you and how you dress and act. Many people dislike depressive people and their negative way of thinking.

I was going to say something along these lines. I was just holding back.

Most people do not like Aspergers. By not liking Aspergers, most people do not like us. It is Aspergers that is the problem, not us.

None of this means that people don't like you. You would frustrate me if you was taking too long over doing something but that's my problem because I'm inpatient.

I can't say your sense of style would put anyone off as it's not exactly edgy or offensive.

Maybe your moaning would put people off though. Sometimes you have to put on a false face if you want to attract people.

Nearly 99% of the population are NT so positive NT traits of having lots of friends being popular, funny and having a great personality will rule.

ASD "anti social traits" will always be looked at with suspision, because even when they are innocent they are associated with bad behaviour and people.

When the police raid a serial killers home and find bodies dug under his garden, the neighbours will rarley say he was the life and sole of the party, had lots of friends, was very popular etc...Always the opposite.

See a job advertisement for a young and vibrant workplace looking for a "bubbly team player personality" to work there. No ASD traits there.

Yes it sucks but so does ASD you soon get used to it. Try making friends / relationships with others with ASD people you'll find it easier.

Frankly, I've known many NT's who have lousy personalities, don't take showers, and don't have friends.

Not all NTs are outgoing. There’s a huge range when it comes to NTs’ behavior, just like there’s a huge range among those on the spectrum.

Lots of people without ASD are introverted and some people with ASD are extroverted.

Why are you suggested that NTs only have positive traits?

Everybody who's upset about being a virgin:

Do yourselves a favor:

DON'T GO DOWN THE INCEL RABBIT HOLE!! !! !

That will guarantee you virgin status---until you get out of that rabbit hole.

There is no real "shame" in being a virgin. It doesn't make you less of a person. In some cultures, it might even make you "more" of a person because you waited until marriage.

And....you don't have to go around telling people you're a virgin.

ASD is generally associated with social isolation, bad people like serial killers, violent mentally unstable criminals, active shooters etc... they are generally socially isolated in the vast majority of cases.

Im not saying ASD is linked to being a serial killer because it isn't.

But the behaviour stereotype association is there with the general public i.e being socially isolated means there`s something wrong with you and you might be bad or dangerous, hence the suspicion.

I sense women pickup on this more, by being more trusting of men who are married / in a relationship, its almost like someone else has vouched for you being ok to be around. Maybe that taps into the whole virgin thing brought up.

I do not dislike you, Brother Chris 1989.

Just because you believe people don't like you is not the same as believing everyone doesn't like you at all.
