I kinda have the same problem but not that worse. But i would gladly be your friend just for being Asian since there isnt any Asian kids at my school.

One person I'm fairly close to actually met me once when I was in 7th grade. He thought I was mentally handicapped. My best friend thought I was creepy the first time I talked to him. My current girlfriend of one and a half years thought I was the most awkward person ever (which is possibly true) when I first met her.
Somehow people always feel this towards me, yet they become the people I'm closest to.

Hey awkward Asian girl! I'm an awkward asian girl too. I've encountered some bullying in my day (mostly about my race) but not as nearly as severe as yours. I know it's hard sometimes to ignore things like this, but try your best to send the idgaf aura to the people who put you down. You'll find someone who understands you eventually just be patient.
High school is just a small part of your life. Maybe this experience will make you into a better person (like what mine did to me).
Meanwhile, listen to Matchbox 20's song "Unwell". its a beautiful song, and I have a feeling that you'll like it as much as I do.

This is sometimes how I felt in my old town, not at all in my current city. I'd always get montone (or overly enthusiastic), repetitve responses in any conservation. It depends...do you actually have any good friends?

BTW the disorder being talked about its AsPErger's syndrome, not AsBUrger's syndrome. Believe me, I know because I was once thought to have it.

Do you know for a fact that people think you are mentally retarded or are you making assumptions?

Also, if you are comfortable sharing, what are some things you do that are considered "weird"?

I go to a very preppy high school and I do notice that a lot of high school kids are too afraid to do anything that they don't see their peers doing, so there isn't a lot of room for individuality. For example, many of my peers make fun of people who play chess because of the negative stereotypes associated with it, despite chess being a completely normal hobby.

In a way, I sort of feel for you. I used to be really quiet, as well. I used to hear people talking about me behind my back about how annoying it was that I was so shy. I guess I kind of branched out a bit as I got older and now I'm actually pretty talkative and bubbly for an introvert. Most people are able to overcome their awkwardness as they get older, but sometimes it takes a lot longer because you have to wait until you find yourself in a situation that you are comfortable in. I'm sure college will be a lot easier for you, granted you don't go to a "social school" like USC.

This is a very old thread, so I am closing it.
