Why am i like this
I dont want to call myself a loser but it explains my situation. I dont have any friends. Cant fit in society and i see myself inferior to others. It may sound ashaming but im living with my parents at the age of 23. Im only an online education student. Other than that im a neet. With having social anxiety and depression its hard for me to have a normal life. I might have aspergers syndrome or selective mutism too. I went to therapy for 2-3 months but it didnt seem to work. Sorry for bad english. So what am i going to do? This is getting worse with time
OK calm and try to develop a self esteem. Social anxiety and selective mutism doesn't indicate an Asperger syndrome.
If you see somebody becomes hurt but you don't feel anything but disliking the fact then you may have an an Asperger syndrome. It's no problem to leave your parents after finishing studying. My kids are your age and living with me at my costs too. Just try to look for a job once you have finished studying.

Stick with therapy for longer than 2-3 months. Did someone misinform you that it changes things radically in that length of time? However, 2-3 months is long enough to give any particular therapist. Find someone new and rededicate yourself to the project. Also remember that change begins with you, not the therapist.
Good luck.

If your parents are willing, it would probably be a good idea to seek an official evaluation for ASD as well.

Hey, Your Situation Ain't as Bad as You Think . 23 is Young .
i Think when We Categorize Ourselves in any Shape or Form .. it Can Limit Outlook .
Do You Have Hobbies ? .. This is How You Will make Friends . it Might not Be a Social .. More a Common Interest Situation . The More You Have in Common The Easier it is To Build Friendships . Maybe Join a Gym if You Don't Currently .
Living at Home With Parents Can Be a Gift & a Curse . Look at The Positives . For 1, it Allows You A Safety Net .. Food, Secure Place .. Interaction . Imagine How These Factors Could Be Compromised if You Had To Figure it Out on Your Own at This Current Moment . Less / Maybe No Rent & Bills To Chase . Which Means You Have More Freedom To Persue Jobs & Hobbies You Like With Minimised Compromise .
There Are Plenty of People Struggling Rent , Food , Loneliness .. Poor Housing .. Difficult Neighbours etc .
Make The Most of Your Situation . You Have Acknowledged Issues at a Young Age . im 34 and still All My Issues are Only Just Being Addressed . The Key is To Place No Judgement on Yourself . After All , There Are Plenty That Would Love To Be You (No Doubt) . You Are Alive . Embrace Your Existance
