No, that was an example. I'm not devaluing your struggles (as I share them), and you're simply ignoring that to indulge in self pity while simultaneously devaluing mine. Nobody cares whether you have Aspergers or not. They care whether you're nice person. Nobody wants to share in your misery - they want to be able to take joy in your companionship. If you can't take joy in your own companionship, how can you expect anyone else to?
I must have already been a terrible person in per-kindergarden. Or maybe you are wrong.
JFC stop with the self-flagellation already. It's not about you being a bad person, or being different, or being right or wrong. It's about you liking yourself enough to project that to others. Right now, you're projecting as someone who's been so badly hurt that they can't realize when someone is trying to help them, and strikes out at those who are willing to help them.
Who would want to be friends with someone like that?
Yea, I guessed you just wanted to help. You don't, you are just full of yourself.
