Is Asperger's a death sentence for a social life? I don't know how to be normal. How to talk to people and how to stand. When and how to make eye contact.To make matters worse, I have a very uncanny look about me with a really bad case of a "resting bitch face". I've been told I give major psychopath vibes and everyone feels intimidated.Ironically I make other people feel as awkward as I am in social interactions which is the funniest thing to me. But they only have to deal with me, I have to deal with everyone.I'm also very handsome and intelligent, but I never get attention from women. Not that I blame them since I unintentionally look like I HATE them. But I'm a normal person. Very strange, but not evil or anything.Should I consult a psychiatrist? Do they actually help?
>>34485236Find something useful to do that you also like and forget about any social thing, if it happens it happens.That is how you maximize happiness.
get into magic the gathering no womens around who can ignore you

>>34485236Fellow aspie here. It helps if you get a good friend. I have a hard time talking to people if a game isn't involved. I hate small talk. Go somewhere where a hobby that you enjoy is even if you have a hard time going alone. I needed my friend to go with me for the longest time, but it got better once I started going alone. I also took a job that made me talk to people. Phone customer service. It helped my social skills a lot.I've realized a lot of the things normies say when they feel awkward are just downright mean. I can feel awkward without being mean about it. Not sure how to fix your face. I don't have that issue. How to stand though? Just relax and don't think about it at all. If someone points a behavior out to you, you can just say you're like that. I pace a lot. People assume that this means I'm impatient or upset. I just let them know that I can't stand still. I've been told to sit. I've been sitting in my car for the last hour, so no, get bothered less.
>>34485236The things you can't do are all learnable and practicible skills. You may never be able to do them as instinctively and effortlessly as some (though a LOT of "normies" have to work hard at them) but you CAN learn to get better at them
>>34485236>Should I consult a psychiatrist? Do they actually help?They're just going to take your money. It's very common, a few people sometimes appear here saying they paid for therapy for 9+ years, and they ask for advice on this board, if it was worth it, they wouldn't need to come here in the first place. Like, NINE FUCKING YEARS. I suggest you to get a diagnosis just to get some gibs, but you should omit you're autist and mask it, if you want help, you should study psychology by yourself and help yourself.
>>34485236I’m the same way man, but I bagged a hot wife and we have a child together.A lot of woman do call me handsome and bagged some very hot women but I just be myself. Awkward and all, some love it some hate it. I got good friends and I still avoid eye contact longer than 2 seconds. After that I can’t focus on what they’re saying because I’m focusing on me focusing on their eyes.Big resting dick face here too but I’m very happy and smiley once someone talks to me. I’ve gotten better with being the first to talk but usually I wait to be spoken too and idk why. Be yourself dawg, you’ll be alright.
Yeah. I feel that not only just social interactions but the work environment is awful when you're an aspie. I always ended up being the odd one out and would always meet with bursts of rage even when I was always calm when explaining things. That grade school tier politics doesn't end when you graduate and if you don't know how to navigate that you will struggle a lot. needless to say I also had little to no success with women. Mostly just paid for it really.I only have a few friends who I still talk to at the age of 37 but that is through phone call, I am basically a hermit now collecting neet bux and trying to live a frugal lifestyle. There are some high functioning aspies who do well in life but unfortunately I am not one of them. Wish I could be more of help.
>>34485236>Is Asperger's a death sentence for a social life?Yes, I just qiut my job from how much the neurotypicals wanted to harm me.
