Summary

Greetings, Stef. I hope this message finds you well.
I recently moved to a town where I know no one. I used to think I had my life figured out before I moved here. I find myself feeling extremely anxious and lonely most of the time. I'm trying to branch out and make friends, but it's extremely difficult for me because I have Asperger's, and having a conversation with people is a skill which I have neglected.
I have a hard time relating to most people. I feel like I need some kind of training to help me relearn how to communicate with other people. The people I meet out here are friendly, and I've made some progress, but I still feel quite lonely most of the time.
I've been thinking about it more and more lately. It didn't used to bother me before I moved because I had a few friends and family members in my old town. Now that I'm out here on my own, all I can think about is how alone I am. A big part of the reason I moved was because I want to find a woman to be my wife and start a family with, and the town I used to live in was not a good place to raise kids. Given the current state of my social skills, I'm worried that I may be unable to become a good husband and father.
The problem also involves my career. I came out here intending to start a new career because I didn't really have a career going. I think I may be able to start working in accounting, but it's going to take at least five years before I'm able to make enough money to support a family. I'm thirty-two now. I really feel like time is running out, and it's going to be at least another year before I can make any progress towards my career in accounting because I missed my opportunity this year.
I hope I've given you a good idea of what my problem looks like. There are plenty of things I haven't mentioned for the sake of brevity; hopefully we can get into greater detail if we connect and have a conversation.
