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.

College is hard when it's humanities and stressful, but at least I have a good gpa. I've dated a lot of guys and my boyfriend is the most patient I've ever experienced. He doesn't get mad about my tantrums or when I'm incapable of certain things. Most guys tried, but easily gave up and stopped talking to me. I just feel sad how everyone seems to have an armful of close friends and for me I have friends, but most aren't super close with. I just don't click with people.
