Don't feel that you are alone

The Penguin

Chilly Willy The Penguin
There are many times I feel alone and no one can relate to what I'm going through. I have been proven wrong many times. It seems the majority of the posts I write on here someone can relate to something. The same can apply to you. A person can feel alone, yet many times, I can relate to that person and I will comment. So don't be shy to express yourself. For me, being a member for about a half year, I notice people will reply to most of the post. So start writing on what on your mind. We are here to listen to you.
 
AspiesCentral is one of my favourite sites to visit. There are so many people on here that I can relate to. It's like a window to a whole new universe where I'm no longer misunderstood, teased and laughed at. I've realised that there is no reason to be shy here.
 
I like this site people seem nice mostly. But I still feel very alone. I have no friends and can't trust people. I have autism and am gay and just don't seem to fit in with most people. Even among other gay people I don't feel I fit in. I don't feel anyone gets me. I have no job no prospects and no self confidence. This forum is great but I wish I had someone in real life to turn to.

I think that you are lonely. You have members that care for you on here. I understand you want more than that. I can't tell you when things will get better for you, but what I can say you never need to feel alone when your on this site. As for your loneliness, I hope one day you have someone to fill in that gap for you.
 
Well I need help in real life and don't know where to get it. Therapists don't help. I need help finding a job but nobody helps me.

Despite I manage to get a job in my life, that does mean it was easy for me. The truth is, most businesses are unwilling to provide accommodations. I decided to start my own business as I'm better at that than working for someone. I do understand not everyone can start a business and it might not be for them. So the only other thing to do is do deep soul searching to find organizations to help you. It does takes lots of work, but if you manage to find the right one, the pay off can be worth it.
 
I'm a very lonely person since I don't have any friends offline, but I've met quite a few nice people on this forum, and it helps me feel a little less lonely, a place where I can be myself for once.
 
Penguin, sharing your strength, being so comforting... this is so wonderfully typical of you. Thank you. I needed this encouragement today. I am so grateful that you are here, dear Penguin.
 
Thank you, Penguin, for writing this!

I am full of these fears at the moment, I'm having difficulty posting, expressing my opinions, mostly out of fear that nobody will find it interesting enough... I know it's a little hard period for me and hopefully it will pass, but still, I'm in continuous process of writing and deleting my posts because I think nobody really cares about my opinion.. Then I write and after posting start being afraid that I wasn't clear enough and I might be misunderstood, ooooh..

I know I'm overthinking it and this forum is really friendly, so I don't really have a reason to think like this... And still.

Sorry, I'm not complaining and not trying to get sympathy, just wanted to tell you that you made me feel a little better. Your post just reminded me again that I'm in a good place here and I should trust the World a little bit more. Thank you! :)
 
I'm always lonely. I still live at home yet i feel like a guest in my own home half the time. I don't have any friends and i've never dated. My only contact with others is through my babysitting and cashier jobs. The person i'm closest to is the two year old i babysit (have since he was two months old) but he'll never remember me when he's older no matter how much he means to me. I work with someone (at my cashier job) who i suspect is a diagnosed aspie but that hardly matters cause he never talks. No one at work really gives a damn about me.

I sort of know how you feel, since I, too, live at home and don't have friends where I live, and I haven't dated at all either. Wish I could help.
 
I hate feeling alone and out of place and it doesn't help to be the black sheep of the family on both my father's and mother's side.

When my dad's disappointed or upset with me, I feel numb as if I could be surrounded by a thousand or more people and still feel nothing for them, as if I'm disconnected from them and a ghost. I felt this way before at school and feel like this when I'm in public :/ I think it's just depression and over thinking things or being melancholy ...

This is just me and I'm not sure if it's loneliness, being melancholy and depressed, or the by product of when my dad and his girlfriend would bring it up that my mother or family don't ask how I'm doing and the hatred I feel towards my own mother and them.

I find it hard to keep up to everything here,but this is probably the best place to be if you have something to say. Fear nothing and post away,everyone is entitled to their opinion here and many will learn from it even if they don't agree ;)

agreed. Maybe I should focus more on my business than being on here all day. But if I'm the boss, who bosses me?

Thank you for the kind words. Sometimes it's just not easy but need to stay positive! I will. ^____^
