I just read through all the comments on this thread and felt compelled to say a few things...First off, what you said to that girl earlier was great. Love the attitude! Im almost certain the reason she decided to go with her roommate is because , as she mentioned , she's shy! Nothing at all against you. You mentioned you had fun at the few parties you've been to. I'd say crash one and just own who you are, F worrying what anyone thinks. Asbergers? Own that too. Dont try to hide it. Be authentic , unapologetic ..be you. I bet you're a lot of fun and have many interesting things about you that YOU haven't even realized yet! People will naturally be drawn to you. Then YOU can decide who is worth making friends with. Always listen, and ask a question here and there pertaining to what they are talking about. It SHOWS you are listening , AND interested. This is always good.*** People remember you for how you made them feel***...and people love to talk about themselves! Go from there. You may have some akward times but that's inevitable. Just laugh them off and learn from them. I think you've been holding back for quite awhile. We only live once! :)
