I think I have an antisocial disorder?!


Question: I think I have an antisocial disorder?
Recently I've been feeling depressed. I'm 16 year old, I have good looks, I've made the rounds that our society expects us to make. But lately, i feel disconnected. I can barely relate to people where I live. I have either dated all the girls I would be interested in already, or dont really feel like talking to the others. I was never conventionally popular... I have a couple close friends, pretty much everyone else is a so and so, and some "enemies". Ive made some mistakes that I try to make up to old friends, but they wont forgive me. I spend most of my time making music or trying to meet new girls/friends on fb. But like I said, i dont really relate to that many people here. It seems as if I have a beethoven-ish syndrome, and im sort of a hopeless romantic. My parents are my parents. At the end of the day, im very lonely. I think i should move to a new town, if that were possible. It's as if I sucked dry whatever life had to offer to me here. It also depresses me in school, since i have very severe ADD and can barely get work done, even if i want to, so i worry about life after school. Im not necessarily looking for answers... maybe some advice or input.

It sounds like you may be developing Autism. To be more specific, you could be developing a form of Asperger's Syndrome. In short, Asperger's Syndrome is a sub-form of Autism that negatively affects social interactions. Asperger's Syndrome can appear at any point in time during a person's life. All it needs is a trigger (such as a traumatic experience or an increase in stress) to take effect. I bet that you experienced some sort of traumatic, stressful, or overwhelming experience lately that may have caused your shyness to turn into something much more serious. This happened to me. A couple of years ago, my grandmother died and I was in the hospital room when she passed. That took a toll on me emotionally and, a year or so later, I began to develop social problems, obsessions, and depression. Turns out, this traumatic experience triggered my OCD, Depression, and Asperger's Syndrome. Maybe something in your life is doing the same.
With that said, you should see a therapist. It's so important for you to get help for this. Therapists can help (even if they don't seem like they can at first). It took me a while before I finally got comfortable seeing a therapist. Whatever you do, don't let this go untreated. In sever cases, people with Asperger's Syndrome aren't able to leave the confines of their home for fear of the outside.
So, if you truly want to get better, get help. I did, and I'll never look back.
I really hope this helps and good luck.
You're not alone. Trust me, I thought I was at one point.
God Bless.

I don't notice any anti-social disorder.You would not be on facebook looking for girls.
Myself i dislike most,do not trust and avoid most people.It took me many years to find out most are greedy and concerned only with themselves.You like that?NOPE? then your ADD is causing issues.
This makes you interesting,can not focus.Just worry about yourself for now..get well bye
