Slowly opening my comfort zone

I created my account some days ago and I didn't even get around to posting till now. It's really hard for me to even get into new things. It's much easier for me to just spend time doing my usual stuff instead of reaching out like I am now. I was told to search for online Asperger's support groups and here I am. I feel sooner or later I'll mess something up or not get my message clearly across. I'm a perfectionist. Even now I feel that might sound like I'm coming off unfriendly when really I'm not. I was 12 years old when I first found out I have Asperger's. That certainly explains much of the reasons why I feel so different from others. If I keep going I'll end up typing an essay for an introduction post.
 
Sounds like you came to the right place. Welcome to AC.

BTW, this is an essay-safe zone. Typing volumes is allowed. One perfectionist to another....;)

Welcome, Outsider! Many of us can relate to your post. Please make yourself at home here! :)
 
Hi ya Outsider, most of us here at aspie's central are outsiders so you should fit right in. Welcome.
 
Okay, I'm even taking this long for me to reply to my own welcome thread. :eek:

Essay-safe zone? Why that sounds like my kind of thing. I can have a lot to say about many topics.

Oh, the burden of being a flawed perfectionist... (Once we realized how flawed we are, we can begin to accept "personal best," instead. :cool:)

Just, please, use paragraphs. ;)

I feel like I keep trying to push my personal best to be better. If I'm not left entirely to my own thinking and not on a time limit, I'll keep going and going. Throw in a time limit and working with other people, then suddenly I'm forced to commit to something.

I'll have paragraphs for sure. No wall of texts from me, hopefully. I debated a bit over to split my first post into another paragraph, but I figured it wasn't long enough for that. Perfectionism in action, I think.
 
Hi The Outsider I don't consider ASD makes anyone more flawed than anyone else on Earth who isn't ASD but I do agree that self acceptance & accommodation helps make for a happier life. Welcome to Central. :)
