Nothing has gotten better. People are irritating me on a daily basis and it’s impossible to find a girlfriend. No one ever swipes right on me on Facebook dating and no girl will ever have a f-ing conversation with me. Meanwhile, people my age and younger have so much more success(dating someone for much longer periods of time, being able to find another girl quickly, etc).

I felt at one point that I’ve found my own peace as someone with Asperger’s, but here I am feeling worthless again. Things always turn out less than desired, which has been the status quo for a long time and I’m sick of it. Can things actually get better for once in my damn life!?!?!?!
You seem to be a good person, so it sucks that these things are happening to you.  I do not think you are worthless.

Please hang in there.  This is a rough patch in your life.  Things should get better.


This is a thing that those of us plenty older of you can say sincerely. I'm 40, Fnord is 66, you're 22 - so even if you've been struggling for your entire adult life, your entire adult life has only been a few years so far and you have WAY more years ahead of you in which things can definitely get better - especially if you make a persistent effort to maintain and improve your health along the way. Mentally, physically etc.

I appreciate those words from the both of you.
