	So I just took the test. Really, it confirmed what I had already known for many years (I'm 20 and in college). I have trouble relating to people and talking to people for any reason, except for those I know very well of course. I suppose I've been different compared to my peers for a long time now; since single digits. It doesn't help that I think its possible my mom might have done some drugs while pregnant with me (I love my mom and don't have anything against her now, she's awesome). I didn't start talking until well past 2, but after that I took off intellectually. I read often and knew words my peers wouldn't be able to guess the meaning of. It didn't really matter to me at the time, but I didn't have a lot of friends and I was never the popular kid. As time passed, I began to consider this and wonder whether it was because something was wrong with me or not. 9th grade came around and I was doing poorly in school, I suppose now because I didn't care and I felt too weak to try. I was getting fed up with life. Thankfully, though it may have been a mixed blessing, my family decided to travel abroad for a long while. We went to China and lived there for a year and then to Mexico where we spent another year. It was about time (2006) when we decided my brother and I needed to finish up high school and get to college. So we came back to where we had been living before, and I got back into high school. Due to my time out in other parts of the world, I didn't really connect with anyone my age for a long time so I was at a disadvantage going into high school again. Then this girl who had seen me around school found me on myspace (I f---ing hate myspace so hard) and added me. We got to talking and before long we had become internet friends (we didn't ever speak in school). I had come to like her a great deal during this time (she was very pretty) and I told her so. That was a mistake. So that rejection in a way colored my social dealings with others ever since. I've not told anyone I've liked that I like them since. I can't, I won't. So I got the eff out of high school (by means of GED) because it was too horrible to keep going there. So now I'm in college, and I'm still very much socially inadequate. I'm quiet and reserved, and generally under-accomplished. I'm awkward around people of all sorts. Really that's about it. I don't expect anyone to really be able to do anything about it but me, but I thought I'd share anyway.
