 Your posts about school, your boyfriend and friends appear to convey some success. Is it the lack of connection that you are referring to?
Faking it is horrible. I tried that when I was a teenager. It really messed me up and contributed to my misdiagnosis.
I told my psychiatrist on Tuesday that I made a comic strip when I was a child. My comic was my way of socializing since I was one of the characters. In it I was social and part of the group. I had friends and felt connected to them. These were things I longed for in real life, but because I struggled with social skills and had different interests nobody wanted to bother with me. I was boring and asked too many questions.
My psychiatrist replied, "You must have been really lonely." I still feel lonely but not like I did all those years ago. Now, I have a few good friends and family that accept me.
