Hello. My name is Harley. I have a well-recorded history of not being complete shit at advice, and am particularly good with mental health, most kinds of relationships, and LGBTQ+ issues.

In my life I have never been what you would call normal. I have social quirks: I don't like looking people in their eyes, I move awkwardly, I take things literally, I talk to myself when I'm alone, I'm overtly sensitive, I don't understand all of the norms well and I perceive things differently. I have my issues, I get angry and I have known to tell or break things and hurt people's feelings. These outbreaks happen once a year. I have been perceived as a monster or a villain. Personally, I'm not innocent but I'm Christian as well and I've worked hard to control myself and not give up. I haven't killed anyone or anything unless you count insects and spiders. I haven't done anything that's taboo or horrible to people but over years I have given up to be normal and be happy. After one incident , in which I was perceived as bizarre and different I have become depressed and hopeless. I have lost a lot of things. I want to meet a psychiatrist but I'm not wealthy and I want it private. Is there anyone who can give me advice (link)
Any psychologist, or doctor, or medical professional you meet with is obligated to keep your sessions private. If you don't have a lot of money, it's possible to meet with someone and get a diagnosis, then use online tools as a way of helping yourself. I personally found this a lot easier, since I have a lot of problems sharing my feelings.
If you want my personal, unlicensed opinion, it's possible you may be autistic. The trouble making eye contact or understanding sarcasm/metaphors, sensitivity(particularly to sensory input like light, sound, smells, textures.), the trouble understanding social norms all point to something on that spectrum. I recommend you look it up, and see if it seems to work.
Good luck, friend!
