hello ,, i hope this is the right place to post. i’ve started to despise myself for being the way i am because most of my friends see me as someone who they need to take care of in a little brother way and i don’t mind it but it makes me feel undesirable. i don’t blame them. i guess due to my autism and my behavior they see me as someone who needs to be taken care of. but i just feel like nobody would ever see me in a romantic light thanks to the way i am. and it hurts. i wish i was different.

i want to be someone who can be loved. i feel so alienated from people because i can’t be loved. i don’t know if love is really something because why can everyone else experience it but why can’t i?

most of the people whom i loved used to take advantage of me for my autism and never introduce me to people they knew because they saw me as an embarrassment

i feel stupid and i’m so ssorry if this isnt the right place
