Feeling like I'm better off dead

A lot of the time I wish I could be reincarnated as someone without Asperger's. I hate how much it ruins and takes over my life. I hate that I can't make friends and go and hang out with others like other people because how people make friends is a mystery to me. I'm sure most people hate me and think I'm weird and don't want to be my friend anyways. I truly hate myself and think I'm better off dead.
