Hi,
I am one of the many of us that were diagnosed later in life. I've always felt like a "square peg" and that I just don't belong. I do have family but no friends, as such. I work but I've never been "one of the lads". I'm happiest (if that's the right word) when I'm alone with my dogs or listening to music.
I want to feel connected to something or someone, I want to be wanted and not be that guy with the resting grumpy face.
Okay rant over.
Thanks
I can relate to your post.
I crave connection too. As much as I try to distract myself or keep myself busy, it's always there. That longing, that wanting to be wanted. I have so much to give. I feel like time is ticking away, and I'm being left behind.

As a kid and now even as adult, i was what the "lads" looked upon as the strange, weird psycho. I was amusing to them for various reasons, and partly accepted, but not really. I will never belong. To anything. it's not in my nature.
I hear you.
