Anxiety and Depression

All my life due to having AS i have been picked on and bullied. I kind of get depressed because i'm usually lonely since it's hard for AS people to make friends. I also get scared of paranoid of people when I go out because I think they will make fun of me, so I try and avoid going out unless I really have too :( Does anyone else have these problems?

  • People can make me feel paranoid too. They seem to judge me  and watch me. I know that I can come across as a bit odd in certain situations, like in supermarkets, where I spend ages scrutinizing the shelves, but I think people should mind their own business: paranoia is not all in the head (whatever psyches may say): some people do watch you because they have NOTHING BETTER TO DO!!!. I guess an adaptive approach would be to try and think that it does not matter what people are doing. Easier  said than done though.
