Its crazy when something is wrong with the heart , lungs , kidneys , eyes , skin , bones etc.....
Its taken as a serious thing , but when something is wrong with the Brain , you know , the thing that controls everything , its often seen in a different perspective. For ones with obvious mental illnesses , people often brand them as "defective" , even if they dont admit it and they are treated as such. For the ones that aren't as obvious to others or even they themselves dont know they have it , they seem "normal" , but inside , they know something's wrong , but dont know what and it shows up from time to time.
Hello, my name is Ashton :) , im 19 years old , and I have a hard time with girls and social interactions in general. I've been learning Pickup since 2012 , and im very dedicated to it .One of the benefits of Aspergers is that the brain gets very interested in a topic that a person likes and it becomes an instant addiction , thats why "Aspies" are some of the smartest people in the world. One of the downfalls is that , the brain has a hard time in social situations , much more than the normal person . For a long time I thought it was because of social anxiety , not knowing what to say , being awkward , not having enough money and all the other stuff those PUA vids say , but I learnt all that stuff and still , something wasn't clicking , wasnt working , something wasnt right , I wasn't connecting to girls I liked and even people in general and it was torture.
Long story short , many guys learning pickup whom I've spoken to had deeper issues , ranging from being abused by parents to mental illnesses they were born with and weren't aware of . My point is , sometimes there are deeper problems that need to be fixed or at least become aware of in order to successfully pursue external things like girls , money , career even hobbies. After all , what happens inside shows on the outside. Blessings :)
