[QUOTE=Zombie Dude;27270526]My social skills are shit, [b]I keep seeing faces and shapes of humans in the corner of my eyes. (Doesn't happen a lot, but it happens.)

Now, I ain't no psychologist or nothing, but that sounds a little bit like schizophrenia to me, especially if those voices are in fact "all in your head."

I agree.

Please at least capitalize the 'i's. It's driving me insane... I want to fix it for you, but I [i]can't[/i]!

Try to branch out. Join some clubs of things you like or even just want to try. That's a great way to meet people with similar interests.
I have Aspergers. It's mild, and I only show a few traits. For the last 2 years I've been attending a school called Alia College, it's an alternative school (Not a special school at all, seriously) where respect (And not obeying teachers respect, but actual mutual respect among teachers and students) is valued above all, and if you have a problem, you can actually speak about it with everyone and try to sort it out.
They have been the best 2 years of my life. I've made friends, I've learned social skills, and I've started to feel like I'm actually normal. I've changed drastically, but only because I wanted to. I've tried hard, and it's paid off. I've become a great speaker, a good leader, and people look up to me.
Now, I really hate it when I see people who are complete nerds and make no effort to act socially (Sit in their basements all day, play tabletop RPGs, never leave their house) say "It's not my fault, I have (usually self-diagnosed) Aspergers." Maybe if you made an effort, it wouldn't matter. The only way you can become socially acceptable is experience with people and talking to people.
I think the dumb button is overused.
For example, if I stated "I think Seven Samurai is the best movie ever" and 5 people do not think it's the best movie ever, instead of all 5 clicking the disagree button, 2 people will click disagree, and 3 people will click dumb.

You make good points and you're really right. It's just people can be really intimidating. I went to a private Christian school for a majority of my academics and when I finally switched to a public school I had a lot of issues making friends because it was so overwhelming. I was never a huge video game person, I just had been so used to having such small classes that everyone had known everyone since almost kindergarten.
I'm very happy for your great self improvement, though. Hopefully it will inspire others to branch out too

It's a rating on a forum. It's not a big deal, man. The whole purpose of the rating system is to show what other people think about what you have said.
Just talked to my father for the first time in about 15 years. I've never had any respect for him, hes never really been a father to me, he never changed my diapers, never came to my birthday parties, I've only seen him when I was younger and he would be at my grandparents' over the holidays. Now he has mustered enough courage to talk to the son he never really cared for. I could tell he was nervous, trying to converse with me, by the end he was basically crying tears at the end of the conversation. I respect the fact he at least tried to reach out to me now and try to have a relationship with me, maybe life will be better for me now. I just felt like sharing this, its new to me .

Alright, sorry I guess I misunderstood.
I tried to be funny in the Football megathread but it wasn't funny and it was stupid and I'm going to get banned for it probably.

Maybe snip it and apologize?
Just looked at what you said in the thread because I'm nosy. That probably wasn't the wisest thing to do, try to learn from that for next time and not post unless you have something constructive or relevant to the topic.

No, its fine to ask and I will tell. When I was born he became addicted to painkillers and started to drink heavily, basically destroying the relationship he had with my mother. He became a burden to everybody and moved to Tennessee only to return on holidays, making it very awkward for everyone. Hes gotten over that stage and is now living in Atlanta with my half sister and her family for the mean time.
I wish I could punch all the guys at my school for talking "Smack",breaking rules,and act like they're "Gangsters".
[sp] I hate saying the word Gangster.It's like yelling the word Penis in the middle of a street[/sp]

That's really rough. He sounds like he's a nice guy he just got mixed up in the wrong things and it sounds like he wants to change. I know it's hard to forgive him and that he has clearly done you wrong but i do genuinely think he loves you. A father's bond to his child is very strong.

And I respect him for trying to reach out to me and trying to show that he loves me, it's just that, well heck I don't know personally. I'll try my best to build a relationship with him, just strange.

Yeah, I can only imagine how strange that must be but it's a great thing he's reaching out to you. I know it's probably hard because he's been gone for a majority of his life but I'm pretty sure he probably wasn't enjoying himself and it sounds like he's genuinely sorry and I hope he is. Try to forgive the best you can.

I don't really see how those are alike.
Used to have this huge phobia of being judged. Still do, but I can calm myself.
Turns out that stupid expression they make isn't an expression. It's their face.

You shouldn't be so bitter. Everyone is self conscious about what people think about them. I think there's a name for it, something like "the spotlight effect". People are generally cordial, at least they are from my experience. I like to think I am too and I'm just a person like you
I was recently on a 'break' with my current girlfriend for a couple of weeks and I ended up letting the only person she hates suck my dick a couple of times to make me feel better. Now the new girl dropped the 'L' bomb.
Feeling pretty guilty about it all now.

Wow well if you two are on a break and she's seeing other guys it shouldn't really matter who you do stuff with. I'm assuming you're just with the new girl for fooling around and such? Maybe you should just kindly tell her that you're not looking for a relationship and you're wanting to have fun and maybe apologize for potentially sending mixed messages.
Are you sure you want to be with the girl you're currently taking a break from? From my experience relationships where you have to take a break from each other don't always end well.
If you do for sure want to go back to your girlfriend and she knows about you messing around with this girl she dislikes try to be considerate of her feelings and apologize to her. It's in the past now and you regret it deeply. Like you said you were feeling down which I'm assuming is somewhat due to your separation.
It's all over with now. I eventually manned up and told the other girl it wasn't going to happen some weeks ago. She was pretty crushed.
It wasn't really a matter of what I did, but more of a case of who I did it with. Since I'm back with my girlfriend and it's never been better. The break was just to give us a little space since we've been living on top of each other for months since I got a restraining order on me in my home town and was pretty much homeless.
I just feel bad for leading the other girl on, and the fact it was the worse possible person to get with as well.
Well I'm glad you're back with her and happy. And yeah that does really suck but life will go on for both you and her. However, it may be nice of you to talk to the other girl and just apologize again and make sure she's alright since you did kind of unintentionally shaft her.
My ex and I cuddled tonight :D I think we're on good terms now.
