Ok so I used to be quite friendly and loved to meet new people. Now, that has changed a lot. Ever since last school year when a girl called me a retard, I've been really afraid of meeting new people for many reasons. I freaked out when my parents' friends came over to the house because I didn't know them. That's one reason I'm so afraid of strangers and new people; they might laugh and call me a retard because of my disorder/condition, Asperger's Syndrome. Another reason is that many people with disabilities are often loud and disruptive to the class and I can't deal with loud noises and distractions, especially when I'm trying to work and that is understandable. I'm nearly deaf in 1 ear due to too much exposure to loud noises at school! I can't deal with people who have Tourette's, they are loud and disruptive! I really hate and fear people like that, and people in general. Any1 wanna help? Or should I talk to a therapist?

I know it's easy to say "Don't let one prick get to you" But you've obviously been affected greatly by this cunt, so I would seek professional help.

I'm not exactly sure what you should do.
However, no matter what you do, there will always be people who thinks you will be a "retard" because of you disability.  As horrible as it sounds, you cannot stop them from thinking this way.  Whoever believes that just isn't worth your time.  You shouldn't let this one girl get to you.  I know it's easier said than done, but just keep trying to meet new people, and making new friends.  

I wouldn't know what it's like to have Asperger's, but I've got a little cousin who does.  I can at least understand/know what you might be going through.  

If you believe that you'll never be able to talk to people (and you want to change), then you should perhaps see a therapist so that you can get help to "learn" to talk and meet new people again.

Ok, it's ridiculous that you are scared of Tourette's... Honestly, how many people do you think have that condition? I've never even seen anyone in person with it.

No one online is gonna be able to cure this for you. I used to have anxiety issues, but then I started thinking about how fucking stupid it was and then I stopped getting them.(thought deeply about it for a while, not fucked up 1 min fine the next).

For issues like this, I would recommend finding a therapist. However, they are not for everyone. They will not work for everyone. Sometimes you just gotta start facing your fears. Sometimes you just gotta man up and deal with the bullshit in your life.
