I cry a lot 🤣🤣💔💗💔 And I have conversations with pets - I also do their voices back. Sigh... I'm lucky i have a really kind partner & a few devoted friends who "get" me, but I still feel really lonely. I love your pup!!
I just keep busy. I do have question though, have you done a video on how to deal with moments of not wanting to be touched? I have days where I’m okay but other days I’m cringing and feeling huge amounts of panic.
I used to have friends, but they put their egos over me and my weirdness, so I was always treated like the moron of the group rather than being accepted as someone intelligent yet odd... So I lost whatever hope and trust I had for other people and have been friendless and happier since, plus my rabbits never judge me.
I know that sensation exactly. I don't even bother going out to "family gatherings" anymore, as I can just sit at home and be ignored by my cat. I have beer, the internet, TV, and my cat here. I save money on petrol if I don't bother going the 16 miles to any "family event". I haven't left an 8 mile radius of my home in the last year, and I see no need to. I go home, to the store, and work. I go nowhere else.
Despite being around my family and meeting up with friends often, I do feel lonely sometimes. Especially since I don't have a girlfriend and all of my past relationships never lasted beyond 2 months each time. I feel like I'm stuck in a rut and I can't seem to get out of it 😔
Being in the world where there's still misunderstanding and misconception about what autism is like or how an autistic really lives their own lives. I believe that people with autism yes do like to be alone for a time yet they would like to be accepted and involved or invited to activities that will feel included in the group. I've shared a little bit on this topic myself on my channel and I was going to post it on my blog too. You're doing awesome Dan. You're really going out of your way to conquer the very things that many people may struggle with and am sure that we'll be able to when we're ready to do so...
@@TheAspieWorld in answer to your question about what our wrote in the description of the video on how so I conquer loneliness. I tell myself that it's only temporary and that I usually do some mantras etc to build my own confidence in what I hope to achieve in life. I choose my own personal battles of whatever I'm going through wisely and question myself is it worth continuing to fight whatever it is in life. I try to accept that yes others out there may not like me for me and all about me, that's fine as we all have a purpose in life and what we do with our lives is up to us. Do we want to dwell on some of the negatives etc or do we want to stay positive and strong to strive for what we want to do. I usually also meditate or write my thoughts and feelings down if need be. I try to connect with others that either are in my past or present to see if we can hang out and do something and try to get involved more in my community of what goes on... I'm trying to get out more too despite my social anxiety and anxiety that I go through on a daily and try to take little steps such as breathing and counting. Shut my eyes once in a while and envision where I am and what I am trying to do with my day.
Also volunteer work. I'm planning to volunteer with the local spca when my daughter leaves home next year. I know it's going to be a rough time and I love animals. ☺
I have issues with understanding if women in general are interested in me romantically or they just want to be friends. One HUGE thing that pisses me off is they put off these vibs that, I honestly think that this person actually likes me. Well the last couple of times this has happened, It has really kind of made me formed a barrier around myself. Just to make sure I'm NEVER going to be hurt like this before. I should also mention. I'm not a huge fan of men in general I've grown up mostly around women. And men have been a constant issue in my life. It's not that I'm jealous. I'm just extremely protective of who I let in my bubble. And men have constantly broken my trust abused me etc. Women care about me and I honestly enjoy a bunch of female activities like getting a pedicure, putting makeup on, and I kind of act like a women in away emotionally. Not transgender or gay just relate with women a bunch more then men. Hell I can't even stand men's perfume or soap. It smells like crap! Love the women's one, prefer the ones with berries.
As a woman, I want to apologize that there is no clear answer to this. We can hug platonically without any romantic intent. When my friends and I hug, we do the side hug for clear boundaries. When my boyfriend, who is also in the spectrum, and I hug I hug him full body for 5+ seconds. I had to work up to that though when he and I were just starting. I mirrored him. When he initiated contact, I reciprocated in like fashion and didn't pull away unless he did. I calibrated to him as I learned his tactile preferences. He's the more handsy one though. As I tell my boyfriend, the more I like you, the less I want to let you go. Honestly, dump the guess work and just ask if she is romantically interested. If she scoffs at you, just walk away. She is a bad egg. If she states a simple no, then walk away. May have ended up being bad chemistry. If she says a simple yes, then jackpot. Proceed with a potential budding chemistry. My boyfriend had me at "hi, my name is..." and the flood gates opened, gradually.
Hi Dan, I feel lonely all the time, even at work, i dont really engage in conversations within the team. Being a social worker, people expect me to talk, but most of the time, i prefer to just keep myself to myself, at home , my partner and children break the loneliness, untill they go home, then im alone again.
Yeah it can both tough I’m not gonna lie. It we have to do our best and reach out when it is too lonely. Thank you so much for the comment! Make sure you are subscribed and have the notifications turned on :).
There are times when I sense that isolation is as bad as loneliness and social anxiety - especially as I am pretty much older than most of the people on here, as a late-diagnosed AS/ASD/PTSD/ADHD etc. Then again, there are times I prefer my own company, my own space, the company of my faith, my pen and paper (or acrylics, brushes and canvas to pain random stuff), the company of reading material, the company of my dog... oh, and my music collection.
I really hands it too you sir to make all these U-tube Vids having this syndrome . I could never deal with hearing the worlds opinions of me weather good or bad . Thumbs up to you I have learn quite a bit about this thing since following your vids
Loneliness is a real issue to anyone but it can be harder with when you're in the spectrum. I suffered from it from a very young age but I was in a loving environment most of the time even though I had issues at home or at school to fit in. I spent a lot of time reading, playing video games and playing on my own as a young kid and had a hard time making and keeping friends. I just tried to be like everybody else until I really lost myself for many years but I did manage to become more sociable (a little too much actually and people took advantage of it). I found solace in studying and working but my dream was to start a family and it took me a long time to find someone to do it with, and it was a complete disaster because I felt more lonely in the relationship that when I was single. But my greatest achievement was having my kids and go back to college in order to become a translator. Now I live on my own and work from home and share custody of my girls with their dad which is tough when I have to work and look after them, but I manage to take care of myself every other week and chill out or focus on my work. It's not easy to have a social life because most of my friends are very busy but hey, we can chat on the Internet, they pay me a visit because I know I have issues going out at the moment and I think that finding people who really understand who you are and accept you is the best thing you can do for yourself even if they're hard to find. I still struggle with loneliness and bawl my eyes out very often but I know it helps me dealing with my anxiety issues by facing them. Also, therapy helps a lot because my shrink and psychologist are very empathetic and tell me I'm doing a great job which is fantastic to hear, at last! This is my goal this year, to accept myself the way I am and do creative stuff like blogging, writing, watching funny series or videos or films and documentaries and do one 'good' thing for myself every day like doing my nails, going to the hairdresser, take a nap, have a nice cake and I try and count my blessings instead of complaining to myself for what I don't have. It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done but now that I'm a mum I really need to show my kids they can rely on me and try the best I can.
I’m 28 and feel like I relate with a bunch of aspects of aspergers. But I also had such a sheltered upbringing, that sometimes I think it’s just symptoms of being sheltered. I’m awaiting a doctors appointment to discuss this and possibly get ‘diagnosed’... Anyone have any similar situation or advise?
36 and my upbringing was similar. I was diagnosed with rapid onset epilepsy roughly 5 years ago (not related to ASD completely). Not being content with my progress and always knowing there was more to find out. I researched for close to a year and spoke to my neurologist. Just recently received official diagnosis for "high functioning ASD". Yes, it's been very hard. But for me it was nothing less than necessary, because now I feel like I have a handbook on how to navigate the world and process and understand things way better. I'm not even ashamed to say the following... I thought my high IQ score negated my other impairments. Quite the opposite. Seek out the help. You'll gain a better understanding of yourself, but it will not be an easy process.
@@boromir57368 you're very welcome. I know how isolating it can be, so I would like to encourage anyone to find someone to at least talk about it and find out more. Good luck John.

I've never been diagnosed w/autism but my 2 son's have been, so I'm thinking that I may have been the one who passed it down to them. How did u figure out what u wanted to as far as material for ur channel? I'm a new RUclipsr & I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do for material for my channel. My RUclips channel name is mother Coyot feel free to check it out and if u have any suggestions or advice for me plz let me know.
Oh yeah, just started working at burgerking, as i'm having difficulty finding work. At 36, options get limited, especially with physical health issues. Team's fun, but after 2 days i was exhausted. And i had veggie burger(no option for veganburger) which was disappointing, and, as you pointed out, cooked in the grill with meat burgers. Ew
I really don't like loneliness, i have some 1 to 2 close friends and 2 friends less close. The main problem for me is calling or message, that's hard to me : i fear i will annoy or take time, and just fear to don't know what to talk about or flat chatting annoy me. All these things make me anxious about calling or message some people i don't know much, and last that take me so much energy to try to force me to do that. That's really hard to live with that, but at least like you've said i can use this time for my hobbies but i've these last time fear bit to find again hardcore loneliness
Thanks to the therapy sessions my parents forced me to go, I was able to have multiple friends growing up. However, when I entered college, I barely talked to anyone much less make new friends. I try to contact my old friends via texts and Facebook but almost all of them don't respond at all. My dad keeps pestering to talk to people but I get incredibly busy and every person on campus is incredibly busy as well, plus I'm too nice to intrude on them. I do talk to my cousin and little sister (who also has autism) a lot but I want to talk to someone. I know the methods to make friends as a kid but those methods are useless with adults.
Yeah it is a learning and growing process with making friends. Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).
Hi Dan, I'm 16 and for the last 2 or so years I've been having thoughts that I may have autism. In the last few weeks a few of my friends (who have autism) have told me they think I may have aspergers. Would it be worth trying to get a diognosis or would it just be too much effort for little gain?
Thank you bro, yes it is something that is so apparent yet not talked about enough. Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).
Well who knew a video about loneliness on a day that I'm feeling extremely lonely I miss my ex girlfriend and her mom mostly her mom cause she's like a second mother to me and pretty much the only person who's like a mother to me at all so yeah
So I couldn't help but get stuck on the part about your dog's skin issues? At least I think you were talking about skin issues. What does your doggo eat?
Is pet insurance available to you? I'm going to get some for my rabbit, as costs can vary and are expensive. It can cover basic treatments and checkups, but many can vary. Worth a look. Hope your speech is a positive experience ♥️
Not a vet but my dog had skin issues for his entire life. If allergy then benedryl (generic is diphenhydramine) and also used Nizoral shampoo for any skin fungus. Again, not a vet, just what my vet suggested. Safe and could help. All the best.
a little advice if you don't mind me mentioning it would be to watch out for using suspenseful/dramatic/emotional music Willy nilly. Like on the way to burger king I was feeling as if there was supposed to be some sort of emotional climax in the video. Next time maybe you'd want to try a more pop/chillwave track. I love the progress you're making and hope to see more vlogs 🤗🖤
Was just having a conversation about this on Twitter as I’ve really been feeling it lately, it’s a big issue especially in the adult ASC world and I think there needs to be more support and groups for adults that we can go to. I’m in Devon and there’s nothing in the way of adult support. I reckon some sort of dating or introduction service would be great to (one that does not cost a small fortune to be part of) as I think there are plenty of people with ASC or similar conditions that want to find companionship and love.
I don’t think I’m the only one, but I do think it’s a bit different from other people with Aspergers. I was raised in a heavily abusive family that was very opposed to the idea of mental illness and anything like it so they ignored my signs of having it and blamed it on me purposely being that way and I was punished very often for it. I would only feel safe in my room so I wouldn’t leave the house unless they physically forced me to or if it was for school because that was another safe haven for me even though I hated the crowds. They went as far as to remove the door off my room and force me to sit in the middle of the living room with them sitting all around me laughing as a way to “help”. It was horrible and I just recently turned 18 and was able to leave but the damage was already done I feel because I have so many more problems on top of Aspergers making day to day life so difficult. I’m going to finally seek help and I hope anyone else who has had the unfortunate combination of abuse and Aspergers gets the help they need because it’s so painful.
I find it very difficult to deal with loneliness I don't have any social media at all I got rid of it about 11 years ago I have a very small circle of friends about 4 or 5 my so called best friend is very good with women has tried to help me find a partner but they have taken one look at me and said no no no he teases me some times and it really hurts my feelings he has made fun of me when I'm out of earshot or atleast he thinks I am whenever he has a new partner I ask him if they have a friend that is willing to go on a dubble date with me or something like that but he never does I often wonder what he tells his partners about me I've just about had enough
“Ethically” and technically, the rebel whopper is vegan, as you’re buying and supplying demand for a 100% plant based item (if no mayo). The cross contamination risk is a personal preference and also there for any allergy sufferers. I know many vegans who consider it vegan and don’t care so much, but I know vegans that also do care. I think it’s great because it’s showing demand and things like this will continue to become more and more available and accessible thanks to people showing demand. I also have a friend who says that they’re apparently planning to buy separate grills eventually, if this initial release goes well. I guess they didn’t want to invest in new grills for every establishment if it ended up being a flop. Taking one for the team, so allergy sufferers and people it bothers can eventually try it 🙌
At the same time, though, people can suffer allergies and become ill after having anything meat. It would upset my stomache immensly, but i initially became vegan(working at burgerking barf) for my love of animals. Just pointing out that BK are going against themselves, as many vegans would not touch a vegan burger that has been in the grill with meat. They have set themselves up for a fall.
erkheth I completely agree, that’s why I mentioned allergies :) It’s good they’re being open about it at the moment, and I hope as things progress it’ll get better for everyone :) From what I’ve seen it’s not false advertisement, as they don’t claim it’s vegan. They call it a 100% plant based burger, which is true as the burger ingredients are 100% plant based. But underneath they disclose everything about it being cooked on the same grill, cross contamination etc and even say it’s “technically not safe for vegans” (companies tend to do this if there’s even a small contamination risk). Which is both true and not true, depending on what you’re comfortable ordering as vegan :) People with allergies and intolerances should always stay safe and be cautious when ordering food ❤️ Ask questions, read the small print, ask for their allergen lists; better safe than sorry, no matter what item it is ^_^
@@LauraDora124 ooo thanks for such a detailed reply! Yep, i guess they have covered the basics in advertisement then. I really hope this does become popular, so the vegan and vegetarian options have their own grill.
The camera knows when your telling the truth. Because it knows when you look it in the camera's eyes. (How odd to do my comments have to be reed out in the odd comments video).
People are generally judgemental pricks, and Western women are pretty goddamn terrible even if you're not at a perceived disadvantage, so I'd imagine it's an issue...
As a Western woman, I'll have to ask my autist boyfriend about that. But I do agree, people are judgemental hippos in general. My autist brother doesn't like it when I use my preferred explicatives.
How do you deal with loneliness?

Gaming, staying busy, and school work.
I use funny videos in youtube to make me laugh and forget about it

So I lost whatever hope and trust I had for other people and have been friendless and happier since, plus my rabbits never judge me.

Aw man. ✌🏼

Yes it is loneliness is what a lot of us on the spectrum suffer from

Your Amazing you give me Hope for my Grandson Thank you because you have helped me understand this better.

I've never been diagnosed w/autism but my 2 son's have been, so I'm thinking that I may have been the one who passed it down to them. How did u figure out what u wanted to as far as material for ur channel? I'm a new RUclipsr & I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do for material for my channel. My RUclips channel name is mother Coyot feel free to check it out and if u have any suggestions or advice for me plz let me know.
Oh yeah, just started working at burgerking, as i'm having difficulty finding work. At 36, options get limited, especially with physical health issues. Team's fun, but after 2 days i was exhausted. And i had veggie burger(no option for veganburger) which was disappointing, and, as you pointed out, cooked in the grill with meat burgers. Ew
I really don't like loneliness, i have some 1 to 2 close friends and 2 friends less close. The main problem for me is calling or message, that's hard to me : i fear i will annoy or take time, and just fear to don't know what to talk about or flat chatting annoy me.
All these things make me anxious about calling or message some people i don't know much, and last that take me so much energy to try to force me to do that.
That's really hard to live with that, but at least like you've said i can use this time for my hobbies but i've these last time fear bit to find again hardcore loneliness
I feel the same.
Thanks to the therapy sessions my parents forced me to go, I was able to have multiple friends growing up. However, when I entered college, I barely talked to anyone much less make new friends. I try to contact my old friends via texts and Facebook but almost all of them don't respond at all. My dad keeps pestering to talk to people but I get incredibly busy and every person on campus is incredibly busy as well, plus I'm too nice to intrude on them. I do talk to my cousin and little sister (who also has autism) a lot but I want to talk to someone. I know the methods to make friends as a kid but those methods are useless with adults.
Yeah it is a learning and growing process with making friends. Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).
Hi Dan, I'm 16 and for the last 2 or so years I've been having thoughts that I may have autism. In the last few weeks a few of my friends (who have autism) have told me they think I may have aspergers. Would it be worth trying to get a diognosis or would it just be too much effort for little gain?
Good video and good subject to touch on. Also its a overclocked subject.
Thank you bro, yes it is something that is so apparent yet not talked about enough. Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).
The Aspie World Have been subscribed for over a year & yes agree!
If your looking for ghost writer for your next book I suggest.
RL Stine (great 90's reference)
Some ASD knowing how directions/others don't like to be directed....
Ha yeah! Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).
Well who knew a video about loneliness on a day that I'm feeling extremely lonely I miss my ex girlfriend and her mom mostly her mom cause she's like a second mother to me and pretty much the only person who's like a mother to me at all so yeah
I love Chester its my favorite town Wrexham is my second favorite town it helps that they're so close to each other
So I couldn't help but get stuck on the part about your dog's skin issues? At least I think you were talking about skin issues. What does your doggo eat?
Is pet insurance available to you? I'm going to get some for my rabbit, as costs can vary and are expensive. It can cover basic treatments and checkups, but many can vary. Worth a look. Hope your speech is a positive experience ♥️
Not a vet but my dog had skin issues for his entire life. If allergy then benedryl (generic is diphenhydramine) and also used Nizoral shampoo for any skin fungus. Again, not a vet, just what my vet suggested. Safe and could help. All the best.
Your dude friend Paul is cute! Do more vlogs with him. He has good energy and a nice smile.
Well done. You are doing great navigating this world. I am still an 👽 alien here trying to find my way.
Thank you!! Make sure you are subscribed and have the notifications turned on :).
a little advice if you don't mind me mentioning it would be to watch out for using suspenseful/dramatic/emotional music Willy nilly. Like on the way to burger king I was feeling as if there was supposed to be some sort of emotional climax in the video. Next time maybe you'd want to try a more pop/chillwave track. I love the progress you're making and hope to see more vlogs 🤗🖤

Was just having a conversation about this on Twitter as I’ve really been feeling it lately, it’s a big issue especially in the adult ASC world and I think there needs to be more support and groups for adults that we can go to. I’m in Devon and there’s nothing in the way of adult support.
I reckon some sort of dating or introduction service would be great to (one that does not cost a small fortune to be part of) as I think there are plenty of people with ASC or similar conditions that want to find companionship and love.
For sure!! A social group would be a good start!! Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).
Please do vids purely going around reviewing random locations. It is just maga funny, 😂
❤️ you , Dan❣
I don’t think I’m the only one, but I do think it’s a bit different from other people with Aspergers. I was raised in a heavily abusive family that was very opposed to the idea of mental illness and anything like it so they ignored my signs of having it and blamed it on me purposely being that way and I was punished very often for it. I would only feel safe in my room so I wouldn’t leave the house unless they physically forced me to or if it was for school because that was another safe haven for me even though I hated the crowds. They went as far as to remove the door off my room and force me to sit in the middle of the living room with them sitting all around me laughing as a way to “help”. It was horrible and I just recently turned 18 and was able to leave but the damage was already done I feel because I have so many more problems on top of Aspergers making day to day life so difficult. I’m going to finally seek help and I hope anyone else who has had the unfortunate combination of abuse and Aspergers gets the help they need because it’s so painful.
Not much about either loneliness or mental health in this video
The Aspie world
Could do a video on legendary song writer Bob Dylan if he has aspergers?
Was he on the spectrum!?
The Aspie World Well he rumoured online.

I find it very difficult to deal with loneliness I don't have any social media at all I got rid of it about 11 years ago I have a very small circle of friends about 4 or 5 my so called best friend is very good with women has tried to help me find a partner but they have taken one look at me and said no no no he teases me some times and it really hurts my feelings he has made fun of me when I'm out of earshot or atleast he thinks I am whenever he has a new partner I ask him if they have a friend that is willing to go on a dubble date with me or something like that but he never does I often wonder what he tells his partners about me I've just about had enough
“Ethically” and technically, the rebel whopper is vegan, as you’re buying and supplying demand for a 100% plant based item (if no mayo). The cross contamination risk is a personal preference and also there for any allergy sufferers. I know many vegans who consider it vegan and don’t care so much, but I know vegans that also do care. I think it’s great because it’s showing demand and things like this will continue to become more and more available and accessible thanks to people showing demand.
I also have a friend who says that they’re apparently planning to buy separate grills eventually, if this initial release goes well. I guess they didn’t want to invest in new grills for every establishment if it ended up being a flop. Taking one for the team, so allergy sufferers and people it bothers can eventually try it 🙌
That’s right
At the same time, though, people can suffer allergies and become ill after having anything meat. It would upset my stomache immensly, but i initially became vegan(working at burgerking barf) for my love of animals. Just pointing out that BK are going against themselves, as many vegans would not touch a vegan burger that has been in the grill with meat. They have set themselves up for a fall.
I feel for you though, blugh blugh(at burgerking veganburgers that aren't really vegan). Oh yeah, it's false advertising too.
erkheth I completely agree, that’s why I mentioned allergies :) It’s good they’re being open about it at the moment, and I hope as things progress it’ll get better for everyone :)
From what I’ve seen it’s not false advertisement, as they don’t claim it’s vegan. They call it a 100% plant based burger, which is true as the burger ingredients are 100% plant based. But underneath they disclose everything about it being cooked on the same grill, cross contamination etc and even say it’s “technically not safe for vegans” (companies tend to do this if there’s even a small contamination risk). Which is both true and not true, depending on what you’re comfortable ordering as vegan :) People with allergies and intolerances should always stay safe and be cautious when ordering food ❤️ Ask questions, read the small print, ask for their allergen lists; better safe than sorry, no matter what item it is ^_^
@@LauraDora124 ooo thanks for such a detailed reply! Yep, i guess they have covered the basics in advertisement then. I really hope this does become popular, so the vegan and vegetarian options have their own grill.
Love your t shirt
HI
Hi
Hey
The Aspie World hey brother
is it a real issue? look at the aspergers reddit page and then you can tell me
Can you change your microphone it's hurting my ears.
The camera knows when your telling the truth.
Because it knows when you look it in the camera's eyes.
(How odd to do my comments have to be reed out in the odd comments video).
Anyone from Ohio on here?
Toledo area here. Swm, 41.
Heyy
Adrina Alicia u r in Ohio?
Half an anti histamine stops itching
Hiii
Is this actually perfect time for Burger King.
Vegan Asbergers joke.
It's a open goal.
People are generally judgemental pricks, and Western women are pretty goddamn terrible even if you're not at a perceived disadvantage, so I'd imagine it's an issue...
Wowza
As a Western woman, I'll have to ask my autist boyfriend about that. But I do agree, people are judgemental hippos in general. My autist brother doesn't like it when I use my preferred explicatives.
