It doesn't sound stupid at all- I constantly wonder if people even want to hear what I have to say or if they'd just hope I'd shut up.  It takes me a long time to feel comfortable sending pm's or emails to people because even if I know we get on I still wonder deep down why they would want a message from me.

For what its worth chat here seems to have quiet periods where people are off doing other things, which can be a little unnerving, but everyone is welcome in chat.

I seem to get days when I am hyper sensitive to rejection. Do you ever get that?

Thinking a lot of negative things tonight, I dont seem to fit in anywhere for one, and I hate chatrooms where everyone knows one another and you are treated like some newbie alien. Sometimes, I hate my inability to socialise.  :(

I don't think we're meaning to treat you like an alien, I'm not always comfortable with chat rooms myself, add that to being distracted with other things and I'm not always very talkative in chat.

I forced myself to go in a chatroom because I did not think I could carry on a conversation.  There were times where I could converse well and times I could not.  Apparently I  flood it along with phone coversations. Being relaxed will help the words come, and expanding on everything you say will make your conversations lengthier.

All the time- some days I'm able to tell myself to stop being so emo about it and 'talk' to the people I get on with, but I still have plenty of days when I spend a long time wondering if I should send that message and some days I can't make myself send it at all.  I also get days where I feel like no-one even reads what I post and that I'm always standing on the side-lines looking in at everyone.

That sounds very familiar. The problem I think is that I have developed a false view of what is aspie behaviour and what isn't even though I know we are all subject to individual differences. I suppose I based a lot of this on my aspie ex. I came to believe that any form of needing or sensitivity just wasn't an aspie thing, and then of course, I assumed I couldnt possibly have this thing because I can be needing and I sure can be sensitive and get hurt and express that hurt in words and by crying. Times, I feel like a real... oversensitive moron lol

I wonder just how often people do think that they're not 'true aspies' because of the emotional needs they have.  After being hurt yet again by someone I considered a friend I went through a period of telling myself that I didn't need friends because I was an aspie so I shouldn't need those kind of bonds.  I tried to stop myself from getting close to people so that I wouldn't be hurt again, but eventually I realised that I did feel the need to socialise but on my own terms and that didn't make me any 'less' of an aspie.

I get very bitter when my attempts to make friends go wrong and vow never to try again. I mean, it is only this summer I started going out and seeing real people as I stayed in my room on the net all day, every day before. It was safer, though I still had major problems obviously as I joined forums for spiritual people, who would 'punish' me for speaking out and upsetting others. On the rare occasions I have fallen for a man, it has backfired horribly. My recent one was, as mentioned I believe, another aspie, and he misinterpreted every move I made in my attempts to make my feelings known. I made my feelings explicit in letters... I became a stalker to him. I took my camera in to show people...I upset him pparently because he thinks I was taking pictures of him. He hovered around me and gave mixed signals, yet doesnt want anyone and wants to be alone and only wants to talk to people on his terms. I think I was rather creative, and downright amusing in my approach. I mean, my first effort involved getting a load of T shirts printed, with various song lyrics on that expressed my feelings. When I heard he had referred to me as 'that weird woman', for example, I got one made up saying 'Not weird...just different. Look in the mirror before judging others'. Afterall, this guy walks around wearing a knitted teacosy with knitted bees on it for chrisakes. Next, I started waiting in the common he walked through to go home...in summer when it was still light. I remember several incidences of darting behind trees so I could be near him without risking being shouted at or told to fuck off. I remember diving into some trees when he seemed to be walking in my direction as he had already told someone he would flush my head down the toilet if I spoke to him lol.

I started writing poems and leaving them by the post he sat on nightly before he went home. and he took them home with him too as I caught him looking for them one night. I was very creative in my approach. but alas, I have come to the conclusion that I am not even suited to another Aspie and that I will most likely always be safer alone.

It is like he started off being interested then got scared, as he told someone back in summer that he liked his admirer a lot. But he has only spoken to me once and that was before he knew I was so interested, and he got all nervous. He said we have nothing in common. That is what was passed onto me. We are from diff backgrounds, true, but what the hell does that matter? We share many interests, but I have to respect his choice to remain alone, as he has beenfor 10 years + now.

Perhaps its just fear of the unknown putting him off, although maybe 'just' doesn't really belong in that sentence cos that can be big fear for some.

He only talks to those who are random customers in the store he goes to or to staff he has come to know over time. All people who have no feelings for him, in other words. I wou;ldnt mind as much had he not given me such confusing signals. I spent 7 months...over 7 months, watching him and being unable to communicate etc. Still see him daily as he goes to the library as I do. But I can do nothing. And it has made me think...no one else will have me, as it is only people like me I am drawn to and people like me seem to be afraid of commitment and of being involved.

I had a lover from October 2005 to February 2006. She was married but unsatisfied with the marriage. She didn't love her husband. He was dull and a bad lover. We had wonderful sex and I thought we were also very good friends, and maybe we were, but one day she decided to stay faithful to her husband whom she doesn't love. Does that make sense? No.  :(

She probably just found out that it was 100 times harder to leave a marriage than she thought it would be, Litigious and that is why she decided to stay married to him.
