So out of curiousity I am just wonderring how you guys cope with different aspects of life that we all have to go throug, thinking about, job, family, girlfriend/boyfriend, friends, social gatherings etc...

Would just be nice to know how people in here deal with these thing on a daily basis.

Me personally :

Job: I like to work alone, I try not to deal with people and I am always happy to leave work and waking up in the morning always gives me a bad feeling because I know "work is waiting". I join lunch about 3-4 times a week and stay there for about 15 minutes, depending on my mood.Trying to get the conversation going.

Friends: Easy one, I have NO friends whatsoever

Family: We dont stay in touch a lot, when we meet it feels more like these mandatory christmas and birthday meeting where we basically talk about nothing. So my relationship with my family is very shallow!

Social gathering: I avoid these as much as possible. The only thing I can enjoy is where I can meet up at a party etc. drink so the alcohol gets the better of the APD and I can enjoy the night, then go home without any company.

Girlfriend: never had a serious relationship at the age of 31, pretty good job there mate!
