What is Wrong with Me? WHAT THE ****

Post Reply New Topic

Okay. I've figured out something. I don't know what it is but I know something's wrong. For some reason there is something about me that makes the ladies run and the issue is...

I don't know what it is?

So my buddy T was having a cookout today and a bunch of people came. Some I've never met and others I know. Some couples, some single ladies.

Exhibit 1: Anyway my buddy T is close with myself and a couple other guys in our group that was there (M & R). First thing I have noticed is that T's girlfriend does not say a word to me, not even a Hi. But for M & R, they are chummy. I've never done nothing so I have no idea, all I am is friendly like the others and nothing. Now to be fair I don't like her either, but yeah she just never was friendly towards me from the first day T introduced her to us.

Exhibit 2: Same friend T had another friend that works at a restaurant. She's a touch younger than us but when we have gone there and she has waited on us, I'm the last person or the person that she interacts with the least. Before we went there regularly (It's a regular stop for us) only T knew her. Guess who out of the 4 of us wasn't invited to her birthday party???...Hell at this point M, who struggles with girls just like me, but with a little more success, is on the verge of going out with her after not even a year. When she sees our group she hugs almost everyone but myself and only not everyone because sometimes new people come with us.

Exhibit 3: Back to the party, I obviously had no success today. There were I'd say 3 or 4 single girls and it just didn't work out. My friend even tried to jumpstart something by having everyone play a game of kickball. Surely that would "break the ice," but nope only had 1 of those girls on our team and I played outfield while she pitched...so no talking there. And then even the girls who were there with their significant others weren't introduced and never really interacted with anyone.

Basically the party was like this: I arrive, look lost for a minute, eat food and grab a beer just so I'm not standing around doing nothing, finish my food and look for my familiar bros, play kickball, watch friends who bought fireworks set them off.

I mean it just seems like this all the time. Once again, and I'm sure everyone knows this with my history of posts but I do not have 1 girl I can contact on the phone right now. It's just so unbearable right now. I never connect with anyone, I'm never the life of the party, the one that everyone wants to talk to, etc...

But it really PISSES ME OFF when for example my friends GF "can't stand me," but is fine with everyone else. Or in general girls just seeming put off by me before even having an interaction with me.

I MEAN WHAT THE FLYING F COULD IT BE? I really don't see it. Hell I act more normally than most of my friends and some of my friends easily have traits that would make someone dislike them or be annoyed, yet I'm the one that is ignored, is annoying, is odd, is just that person in the background.

If anyone's got something, shoot away. I just want this nightmare to end. Just imagine a life where the only women you talk to regularly is a family member or your own mother.

you said you don't like your friend's girlfriend. she probably senses that so gives you a wide berth.

You do seem to have good social skills and very confident for an aspie, sir.

Maybe you can ask your mates why women don't seem to like you.

They have tried to help you but it looks like it hasn't worked. Just ask them to be honest with you.

Maybe they see stuff you don't.

Could be eye contact, or smile (or lack of either), it was what struck me the first.

How do you introduce your self to these ladies that always seem to flee the other direction? How do you look at them, do you just have an empty gaze with out any facial expression, do you stare to long?

All these may seem minor but they're huge in the eyes of a women. Eye contact is important as well as a comforting facial expression. They say women make up their mind if they're willing to sleep with you in less than 60 seconds.... So make that shitt count son.

Care to post a pic of yourself?

Hey,

Just because someone doesn't instantly like you doesn't mean that they won't.
Sometimes you just have to try get out of your comfort zone a tiny bit and make the first attempt at contact. (I hate this.) but it has helped me make friends over the years and for that it was worth it.

As a female who always has guys (unwanted) attention, I don't go introduce myself to guys because I'm already overwhelmed. So the problem might not even be you.
But try to put yourself forward in the least threatening manner. Good luck. Don't think this will last forever, it won't.

People will avoid/ignore/reject you for multiple reasons.

Here are a few:

1. People are cliquey, and you either don't fit in, or haven't been accepted into the group yet.
2. You are shy, or socially socially akward
3. There's something they don't like about you (whether it's really deserved, or not)
4. They may actually want to talk to you, but they may be afraid to interact with you, because someone else in their group doesn't accept you, or hasn't accepted you yet (see number 1)

In response to Cate:

1. I know I act normal than others. A couple friends act like little kids around others. I'm more serious but I have my fun. Now around girls, I don't think we have talked about that.

3. Nothing's happened to tarnish my reputation or anything. In fact, I've got as clean as a slate as can be because I've never even picked up the paintbrush.

4. I'm mad about that because she was rude to me the first time we met and I hadn't done nothing at all. All I did was say "Hi, nice to meet you." She just didn't like me for some reason but after seeing how she is with my friend, I'm glad I don't associate with her because she's insane.

5. It is significant to me because he has much of the similar issues as I do and it somehow worked with this girl. It's almost like my buddy put us 3 in a cage and she just gravitated towards him. I've done nothing wrong but just not be her type apparently...I don't know.

6. I'm sure I could use help, but I do not alienate females. It's far from that.

Anyway it's just hard for me to figure this out. I really have a hard time with conversations and awkward pauses. It's like I can carry on a convo when I have substance, but starting or ending it is the hardest for me. I really don't get it but my head feels like it goes 100 mph when thinking about girls in general and if it will ever happen for me.
