To mr20: Why are you here then? Why are you reaching out to others on this forum?

See?

You need other people. We all need other people. You've had teachers, you might even have someone you are working for. They all gave you a chance you otherwise wouldn't have had. You'd literally be dead now if you didn't have other people to fall back on. Who makes your food? You keeps the lights on?

You need to behave a certain way if you want to hang out with other people.

Therefore if they reject you then you are doing something wrong and you should change.

See?


I''m NOT doing anything wrong. I wouldn't mind hanging out with people if they treated me fairly and gave me respect. I've learned over the years after numerous attempts that will never happen, so I've kept to myself recently.

I don't need to behave a certain way, if anything it's the people out there that are "wrong". Selfish, arrogant, out of control, egotistical bullies that will get whats coming to them.

I agree with the "treated fairly" part... But respect is earned... Not a given... They can accept you without respecting you...

And no, I don't want to get into an argument on when you've earned the respect and all that... Just wanted to say that respect and accept isn't the same thing as many people think...

And the converse can also be true - that a person can respect someone without accepting them.

Again with this "confidence" BS. It's just a way how selfish and arrogant people justify treating people the way they do. BTW, f***ing changing yourself to be "social" (I hate that f***ing word) You shouldn't have to change yourself just so people will hang out/talk to you.

It's one of the main reasons I like being alone.


Hey, you don't have to change if you don't want to. You're doing very well for someone who wants to be alone. Like I said, you get what you put out there.

But how can you really be confident if people are bullying you all the time?

Also how can you be confident at all if you know that there are stronger, richer, more muscular, healthier and more popular men in society than you are?

i didn't know, obviously, which was why i asked. it sounded like you were making a threat and it's my responsibility to clarify.

There will always be people better then you... But it's all about making the best of what you got... I personally know that there are a lot of better, more beautiful, healthier women out there than me but I'm doing the best I can... And I'm certainly not rich in any financial way (I'm a student) but I do know one thing; I'm trying to cope and have a good life... And you can always do it better... It's just trying...

You learn to stand up to them, and choose not to believe them. That's what confidence is.

I think it's just semantics. In my past I've been mocked and ridiculed constantly for my appearance and the way I talked and behaved. My house is/was run down so that was made fun of alot, as well as my relatives. I was talked down to and bullied. I've been taken advantage of and had things stolen from me by people I thought were friends. (not belittling anyone else's past problems just stating my experiences and why I'm the way I am now.)


I don't see that as being treated fairly or respected. Really hard to distinguish the two.

Have you considered to move to a whole new place and start from scratch? The way I see it you have been more than just unlucky with your past...

You could try developing an obsessive interest in Justin Bieber & One Direction

I was bullied all through school. Even some in college.
I found the one way to really get back at them & under their skin (but didn't practice it much until college)was..
IGNORE them. Easy for an ASD person! LOL Nothing makes a bully hurt more than being TOTALLY ignored.
As for richer, popular, stronger men? Well, that's a fact of life. If you obsess over that, you will not acchieve much in your own life.
Focus on what you are strong at.
And by the way, it sounds like the girls you are interested in are not very mature. Forget them. Wait until they get a little older. I did & I got dates with some very beautiful ladies ( three anyway). Mature women will look past appearences. However, if you are bitter & angry all the time, you will drive them away (yes this is IME).

Just saying..
