I am really worried
Hi I'll try to keep this short but please do read
I am worried that I may have asperger syndrome ( milder form of autism) and that I may also have chronic depression that goes on and off where I can feel ok one day and completely numb and empty on the inside on another day. The thing is I can't seem to find friends who want to travel the world go see mountains and aren't into a party lifestyle. To be mocked for being boring because I don't drink loads and smoke tones of weed or other drugs makes me feel like it is really pointless in actually trying to find friends because no one to me anyway seems to care about anyone anymore. Along with my suspicion of aspergers I find socialising difficult to pick upon on ques of social norms and so I don't go out very often except for work.
Can anyone else relate or understand what I am trying to say because I often feel lost and confused as to why I can't socialise and be "normal" for once. Any help or opinions are welcome

I just posted a long post about how I feel lonely, so it's not just you who feels this way 
I have social anxiety but I try not to let it show - people just think I'm an awkward human being lol
I'm actually quite similar to you in the sense that you want to travel the world but aren't into partying or drinking as such. I'm sure you'll find friends that will understand you (I haven't found good friends yet, but I'm hoping that one day in the future I will do - besides, we have plenty of time!)
So yeah, I can resonate with what you are saying about socialising etc, and it's hard. I'm not going to lie and say that I forget about it when I come home from school (I won't go deep into it, as I mentioned before, I posted a whole post on it!), I feel really down sometimes, especially when I feel super lonely at school.
It may seem weird, but I feel more comfortable and I feel less lonely when I'm in my room reading a book or watching tv or something, as opposed to when I'm at school, where I feel extremely lonely most of the time. I'll try to give you the best advice I can, considering I feel just like you:
Try to preoccupy yourself with a hobby of some sort that takes your mind off of what is troubling you (mind you, I know it's harder than it sounds, but it's worth a try, right?). It's good that you've said how you feel, and, at least for me, letting my feelings out makes me feel less awkward and lonely or whatever.
I'm sure everything will turn out ok - after all, what's the point of having friends that don't accept you for who you are? I'm sure that you will find good friends in the future who share the same interests as you etc.

In my point of view, it is a social anxiety for which you are felling lonely and are unable to find friends. Do the work which you like the most and that provide you pleasure. This may take you out from your loneliness and try to be friendly with the people who are near to you. If all this is difficult to maintain by you then it is better to take some anti depressant medicines.
You'd have to have far more symptoms to be diagnosed with Autism. I know that for example, one of my friends claims I have some issues (and I know I do) with communicating. I know that my parents claimed from the age of at least 10, I think it was because of a bizarre and socially unacceptable obsession I have.
A lot of people aren't into drinking or partying. I'm not and I remember a friend of mine saying he's not.

Hi thank you for your comment and finding myself a hobby that fits in with work is difficult but hopefully I will find some time to scuba dive. As for school I hope you do find some people to be with and to be less lonely. As for reading books and being less lonely it is true isn't it that somehow you can feel that you are in a different world so to speak and that you find pleasure in doing that.
I hope you do find some good friends to spend time with in the future
