<p>Yes, I got help before. I've meditated and saw a healer, and watched self-help videos. So, I'm ok now. I actually am very good to myself and don't feel the toxicity.</p>

<p>Thanks, I need a lot of encouragement right now. The sooner things change for me, the better off I am. I still think it's ridiculous that I look this way in my 30's. Why can't I look like everyone else? It's just so one-sided. I'm creative, intelligent, responsible and determined, yet a <em>somebody</em> won't let me off the hook. All due to my appearance and hearing, I can't afford an apartment. Hopefully, if my dad understands how I feel about everything, eventually someone else…</p>

<p>They don't understand and it can be frustrating at times. That's always difficult to deal with. Honestly, I think they make you feel too negative about yourself and that's rather harsh. We all know life is hard, but going after you for such small things is not right. You try. You're willing to take the chance and fail.

<p>I feel as if just because I'm different and people look at me a certain way due to my syndrome, I'm not living a better life right now. I don't daydreams the way I used to anymore, in fact, I mainly think too much. However, if I make a brainless mistake or didn't hear what's been said, my mom is easily convinced I live on another planet, and so do countless other people. I feel without somebody's guidance, I'll have these barriers walling me in for quite a while. Sometimes, I feel as if this just isn't fair, but I forget that's the way life is when unrelated people can't be sure about you. I always saw myself as a person and respect that, but to others, it's like they <em>think</em> I'm not smart.</p>

<p>I've been told that I might have Asperger's Syndrome, too. It's not easy, especially when you find yourself in places and with people that you constantly feel bring you down. I'm lucky that my family isn't like that (they're very supportive), but I know their patience (as well as mine) is running out. I'm tired of the pity.

I'm lucky that my family isn't like that (they're very supportive), but I know their patience (as well as mine) is running out. I'm tired of the pity. I'm tired of constantly questioning myself over the most basic tasks. I know that some of you believe it's a <em>small thing</em> that no one likes, but I politely disagree. It's the reason I was so hung up about the Navy; I finally got to the point where I could accept it as a part of myself and regulate it while doing my duty as part of a greater whole. It was REALLY hard when that was torn away from me, but I want that feeling again.</p>

<p>I've been looking all over these forums and it's been bothering me how many of you say that you need to dispose of it, but I want to OVERCOME and CONQUER it. I still have faith that I can.</p>

<p>I've had many jobs, but I kept screwing up, and they ultimately got rid of me each time. Reason for this, they've noticed that I often wondered off and didn't listen to their words, also they found I wasn't the slightest interactive around people.

I have a form of Asperger Syndrome, so alongside daydreaming, this apparently makes it tough for me to support myself. I had high hopes and expectations since I was a teenager that I would launch the nest soon, but I was wrong. I didn't even realize how hard it really is out there. Speaking of the which, I live with an aggressive and stern mother who thinks I can't do it. It's really <br/>a nightmare, being in your 30's and never have the chance to experience independence. All due to a <em>small thing</em> nobody likes about you.</p> @Silver Swan

<p> They honestly barely saw anything. I was simply struggling to catch up at first, but my fear of screwing up and getting someone hurt really prevented me from daydreaming as much. After a while, I connected with my shipmates and was happy, but one day, they called me to the psychiatry office after they found that I had an IEP. I did my best to explain, but they said I needed to be separated.</p>
