How much can you laugh at yourself SPW? Don't you ever take a step back, look at yourself and just laugh? I certainly do. Whenever I am like:
Boohooohoo; don't have any friends/nobody likes me/virgin forever/what will they think about me/so nervous for this presentation etc. I just point at myself and laugh, like any common bully would do.
It works great, although it yields a cynical worldview, and a rather unstable emotional state, it helps. Laughing and not taking your disability too seriously is a great way to actually get over the annoying sympathy and misunderstanding people give you. I hate tobe patronised, so I just distance myself from my insecure self as if it is someone else.
And honestly, I think forums like these would be much better if they were not just a place where you can tell about your misery (whichis fine if that's what you need), but also a place where you can just joke around about it because, like any sort of handicap, it doesn't make you none human, just different from the normal group.
What I mean is, within the confinement of this forum, your own mind and the company of other insecure people, we can all be normal and social because everybody understands eachother. So quit the crying for once and look at the funny side of not being able to talk to a boy or girl, the funny side of being ugly, the funny side of being friendless. Because there is one, and no one here will judge or misunderstand you because they do not understand your suffering (like it is forbidden to joke about people in a wheelchair, I'm sure some of them would like that as well).
