So you messed up who hasnt .

If you curl up and refuse to TRY youll never make friends.

Sucess in anything means making an effort. Have your doctor give you whatever pills you need to balance your emotions and KEEP TRYING

I haven't give up on anyone even those that have judged me off the bat. In fact, I'm now friends with one that came off as a jerk to me. We've solved our differences. Yes meds help for those in need so I agree.

Is this you you're talking about?

This guy is a troll.. What he says would be true for people who pretend to have aspergers or may have been misdiagnosed but maybe he doesnt understand the full range of complications we have regarding friendship.

Their is also an issue with the fact we dont value friendship in the same way normal people. I dont value it at all personally and this is why i dont come to this particular section of the forum and I think may be my first post here. Friends for me bring boredom and they want to talk when I dont want so I end up preferring they stop messaging me.

Not all are like me some might need friends because they are useful in some ways.

He does have a point, though. And yeah, I do give up on people who judge me for nogood reason, like MissConstrue does. Some people have something almost like PTSD where they assume everyone is like the few they were exposed to.

Why dont you show me, with a story of a friend you have made, excactly how you are better than me at making friendships. besides, aspies, as mentioned below, dont always have this craving need for friendship. We dont have to be around a group of people all the time.
