Aspies For Freedom

You've got me Victah ;p :]

Heh

I gave up trying to make friends with the popular group a long time ago. Try looking for friends elsewhere, or, even better, making them up. Then you can chat during class without getting in trouble. ^_^ (Half-kidding there...)

If you want to be their friend because they sincerely seem like people you would get along with, try befriending them one-on-one instead of squeezing into their group.

But, really - if you don't like any of the same things you do, and you really can't get along, do you really want to be friends with them anyway?

I can't even make friends with any "group" it's always an individual. Im friends with this girl who friend's with this group but the just are emotionally detached from me, I think there's something wrong with their brain for such a severe lack of accpetance.

SoccerFreak, you know that conformity is in your best interest.  You just need to try harder to fit in, or get social skills training--this is your duty as someone on the spectrum.  This is your cross to bear.

If nothing else, we all need to be a good citizen.  Being a good citizen  includes forming a social network to support ourselves & others through the hardships that life throws at us.  Learn to make friends.  Challenge yourself to connect with a popular group.

Every day we need to take new challenges and rise to meet them.

I HOPE TO F*CKING GOD YOUR KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DO YOU RELISE HOW HARD I TRY?!!?!?!!? HUH?!?! HUH!!?!?!?

IM THE BEST FRIEND EVER AND IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT THEY DON'T SEE THAT! I GO ON EVERYDAY KNOWING I HAVE NEVER STABBED ANY OF MY FRIENDS IN THE BACK OR LEAKED ANY OF THEIR SECRETS OR HURT THEM IN ANY WAY AND YET THEY STILL CHOOSE F*CKING ASSHOLES OVER ME!!!!!

SO I CONCLUDED THE PROBLEM IS WITH THEM AND NOT ME! HOW COULD THEY NOT ACCEPT SUCH A LOYAL AND LOVING FRIEND?!?!?!

ok, im glad I got that off my chest. And sorry batman if you were kidding, but im not sorry if you were serious.

I couldn't agree more, and flardox, great line there

Personally, I've always been inclined to be a part of the goth subculture, for some reason, I tend to find a lot more stimulating conversation, and education in general, amongst NT goths, than any other NT culture, the 'in crowd', at least in my experience, has usually been something I despise totally as shallow, bitchy and, well, the in crowd, at least round here, resembles a communal organism in a persistent, ambulatory vegetative state.

If you can't rise to something; take up scuba diving! Sinking is always easier...

I was worried you might respond like that!  Sorry!

I actually was kidding...  I did this intentionally, trying to be sarcastic.  More or less the point of my post was to repeat things that other people have said to me in real life, and online, about how we need to "conform" and be a "good citizen."  Many of these things that I have been "advised" about, I do not follow or agree with, in fact I see a lot of them with stone-cold resentment.

So I was being wry, and I was in a "parody" mode when I wrote this.  I hope I don't get flamed for not saying I was sarcastic...  I feel the whole aim of my post would have been dampened if I had revealed my true intention.

When I was at high school, I was never friends with the "popular" girls.  Most of the people I was friends with weren't considered as popular.  I didn't really have much in common with the popular girls anway; they only ever seemed to talk about boys and parties.

Looks as if the interests of the popular crowd haven't changed much over the years. It was also like that when I was in high school and that was more years ago than I'd like to think about.

Batman, apperantly you've never had the experience of someone telling you that it's your fault you can't make friends. It's not the fault of the social sadists who prey on those who are weaker in the pack, like vicious dogs. You can try to be nice all they want, most social groups don't want nice, they want someone who can either be used, or who can be a backstabber.

I was sort of a part of the popular crowd when I was in elementary school, mostly because I had (and still have) the ability to make a lot of people laugh. When I got to middle school, though, most of them stabbed me in the back and I pretty much didn't have a social life for the rest of my primary education. I was considerably bothered by it at first, but when I got to be around 16 or so I stopped being all that bothered by it; it wasn't like I didn't have any friends at all, just not a lot.

I just wanted to throw this out here Flardox. I think Goth guys are hot.

I am the in-crowd

*fends off the AFF wimmin :F* I'm quite comfortably taken thank you very much
