Ditto. Although I've begun to secretly suspect that I have Aspergers. I kind of wish I had been diagnosed with at least something in school, and my parents and teachers would have stopped shoving me into groups I didn't fit. Nothing came out of it aside from social anxiety. There were groups I did fit - they have always consisted of 2-3 people maximum (including myself)... But nope, I had to be socialized into clubs and classes, until I'm a complete hermit...

I don't know what this rant is about. I guess, maybe that if you're still young it might be useful to treat these problems more seriously, rather than dismissing them as shyness and awkwardness (this refers to parents' attitude, of course), and talk seriously about it with parents (as a child), although that would have been difficult for me since my group has never really managed to encompass my parents that well.
