22M. It fucking sucks bro. I honestly don't consider myself bad looking, but my social skills are terribly bad and my shyness if off the charts. I'm such a coward and pushover and it shows everywhere. I can appear normal for the most part since I'm not too far on the spectrum, but a few noticeable social hiccups will pop up. I don't initiate any conversations, I only speak when spoken too. I hate how much of a social dumbass my autism has given me. I'm too scared to take any risks and can't talk to girls. I find it difficult to determine if a girl is flirting/showing interest or is just being nice and since I'm too shy I assume the latter and never take any chances. I really hope a cure for autism comes around because I would gladly take it. I wish I was never born with it.
