My disorder causes me to not want to hang out with anyone a lot?

It's probably not healthy, but I certainly can't blame you if you've been taken advantage of in the past. I'd like to humbly suggest that you do some research on setting boundaries, non-violent communication, dealing with difficult people and identifying safe people, etc. While it may not be the healthiest choice I think your habit of isolating yourself is probably much better than than when people are so desperate for human contact that they're willing to put up with abuse and allow others to take advantage of them.

You gotta try to trust people again. And understand you only got fired because it was work. Its not personal, they just want to promote a family friendly environment

The fuck with people. You are doing the right thing. Certain people like you and me attract scum balls no matter how hard we try to avoid them. All you can do become avoidant. Just log into IIN for social contact. I like it here. Lots of scum balls here but they are all at a safe distance.

Just do what you think is best in the situation. Stay healthy, and think positive!

Thanks everyone, seriously, I posted this, and honestly, yes. There is a person in every crowd who doesn't believe me because I over the years have developed a certain adjusted easy of conducting myself. I wouldn't commit to something soo hard if it weren't real. My reading comprehension levels are very high, but I find r very hard to actually sit down and do mathematics when it's internet based. Like it's been very very shady where I live and it's driven me to want to drink.

I have decided to buy acouple of those sun imitating bulbs when I get my check to help me get over it. I don't really like milk because I can't tolerate dairy so I think the vitamin D deficiencies mess with my head. I still remember this girl who thought I was cute saying "you don't have autism, your just lazy" I hit the gym, I go out, I work, I'm just naturally reserved. I've been trying really hard to connect with people but then I cut them off again. I know I need to grow mentally as a human.

I was 19 years old when I stumbled upon this site, and I was too shy to even start a profile and start giving people advice. I actually thought the trolls and the vulgarity were just straight up hilarious. Like it just developed into this thing were I looked forward to seeing who was imatating who. I remember that gypsie sailor individual people either respected or made fun of, It makes me feel comfortable when it's acknowledged I'm not some abrasive douchebag. I'm just not a giant fan of "going out" I have to pass a drug test too and it's made me get edgier.

Are you officially diagnosed? If not, don't use those labels to describe what could be some angsty teen making a mountain of a molehill.

I bet it isn't a "disorder" but childhood/family problems that drove you into this type of behaviour.

Anyway, if you know what you're doing wrong, then why aren't you taking steps to combat it? Victim mentality gets you nowhere.

You probably know like the lyrics to every song in existence...

People in general tend to suck, the trick is that not all of them do. Unfortunately you can end up living an entire lifetime and only interact with sucky people, sucks right? lol, having fun on your own is most important anyway so focus more on that and don't worry about interacting with people.

All the above posters make some valid points like getting fired for bad language. Most people understand that is unacceptable but the trick is to learn from it. And yes, it is wise to be careful who you associate with, but do not isolate yourself from the world entirely. Just be selective with whom you associate. Being plugged into head phones 24/7, most poeople would say is excessive. Mind your language and Stop blaming things on your disorder because you are smarter and better than that.
