Hello, I feel alone, I hope there are people here?

Hello.

I am 26, and from the UK.

I joined here for a few reasons, and am fairly sure I have Aspergers. For as long as I can remember I have been different, and seemed to annoy people by going on about the same thing, for instance the quality of lead in pencils is one thing I remember seemed to annoy my friends when I was younger.

Recently I have got into vaping to help me quit smoking. I now have 49, as I enjoy collecting the different boards which are DC-DC converters and each works slightly differently/better or worse with different wire types, such as SS316L using temperature control at 240C.
It seems anything I enjoy I tend to end up with large collections of. This isn't really an issue though I guess.

Somehow when I was 20, nearly 21, I did meet a lovely girl, and we was together for 6 years, she was 3 years, 3 months and 3 days younger than me. We was engaged, but before Christmas we broke up as she had fell into something not good. I tried to help her for a long time, as she had me and I knew she would of done the same for me, but I couldn't help.

I was doing some searches on google, and come across this forum. I thought I might as well join, as I feel very lonely now. I find it very hard to make friends, and even the friends I do have I find it very hard to make conversation with.

I find it easy to write things out online as I have time to think what I am writing, but it seems with face to face conversation I always can not think of anything to talk about, or how to carry on a conversation.

I hope to get to know you all and make some friends if possible.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Welcome to the forum.

I understand, since I feel better talking to people online or through text messages. I can respond when I want to. I also understand not being able to talk to friends, as I don't really have any friends right now.

But no one is ever alone here.

You can add me if you like, I'm kinda in the same situation as you are too.

Thank you all for your replies, and it is nice to know there are people to speak with on here.

@broken pieces, I don't really have anyone I class as real friends at the moment myself. There are people who speak to me, but it always seems I do things for them, but nothing is done in return, even just someone to try and say how I feel even though I am not good at explaining it. I don't do things for people expecting something back, but it would be nice to know there was genuine people around me.

and @GraysonTerry19 , Sorry to hear you are in the same kind of situation. Of course I will add you, I am unsure how to do that on here though? It would be nice to chat to someone, I don't mind what it is about .

Though we are not from the same country ( I am from Canada),
I too am facing this same situation.
feel free to write.

I've found that even though we are different, differences can make for some of the best friendships. That's why most of my friends tend to be oddballs, much like myself. My best friend growing up had Asperger's, and so do I. Our parents have said the fact that we were both on the Spectrum may be why we were so close to each other. I'm reminded of a quote from the great Leonard Nimoy. He said, "Ultimately, not everyone will like me. But there will be those who accept me for just who I am."

Welcome!

To answer your question: the answer is yes. I'm not here all the time, but I'm here occasionally.

Mae govannen!

I wish I had an aspie friend growing up.

Conanthewarrior, I understand what you're saying. All of the people I would like to consider my friends I guess don't want to be friends with me. I will do things for them and try to keep in contact even if we are in different places (I know people across the country), and I always initiate everything. I would just like a text saying hi once in a while. Those people...they haven't contacted me since the last time I contacted them. I stopped just to see if they would care enough to say hello but to no avail. It's been months now.

It can be very discouraging. But out of more than eight billion people, statistically someone is bound to want to be my friend. Right?

Hello,

It is a smart idea to bump into this forum. You are not alone anymore, feel free to ask. I am also new here and glad to be part of wrongplanet.

Sorry for my bad english.

I'm living a very difficult situation right now. I was forced to abandon my masters on organic chemistry due to a several depression. I'm unnemployed and my parents doesn't understand my condition.

If any of you want to add me in my personal page on Facebook, I would be immensely grateful.
