looking for friends...

hi im david i have aspergers syndrome, i find it hard to socialise and find myself alienated and alone...

i was first diagnosed at 13 and am now 38... i still find it hard to communicate even after living with aspergers for all this time... i stammer when i talk and very rarely give eye contact which often makes people believe im not listening or interested in what there saying...

anyone else out there having the same issues or is it just me.... :(

     thank you for the advice i will try my best to take on board about what you have said and i thank you for all your help in my most embarassing situations...

    i find i stammer wether im calm or not but ether way will try to relax and take my time saying what ive got to say...

    my family are embarassed by me when were out as i make a show of myself and get so fustrated....

    they say i remind them of the shop keeper from "open all hours!!"....

    im terribly uncomfortable in social situations, i find it so hard to converse with people even on the basic things!! :(

    i too find the maintaining friendships hard... sometimes i think maybe im just meant to a loner! but it does get too lonely at times....

    i again thank you for taking the time out to try to help me, i find this site a great comfort knowing im not alone!! (as such)...

    i hope your advice will sink in and be taken on board as a guideline for others who suffer from similar situations...

    all the best
