I also would love to make more friends as well as people are quick to judge at times.

I always wear my medical tag, if someone glances at it, the first word they see is “Epilepsy”.
I never hide from anyone that I have seizures, if anyone disapproves of me for the fact of my being an epileptic, that’s their loss, not mine.

From what I have read so far it sounds like everyone that has written something here is dealing with the same situation. I cannot find a significant other either. I went to college graduated, lived on a campus with 25,000 other people, then grad school. So nobody can accuse me of being uneducated. Like many other people that have epilepsy I cannot drive. I do not have any friends my own age living close to me. This neighborhood only has senior citizens in it. Friends are important so I have to move somehow. I'm beginning to believe if anyone else is an adult here + parents are overprotective it may be time for them to see a psychologist. No offense to anyone, just an opinion.

Robert I know how you feel.When most guys find out that I have seziures they won't either won't want to go with me or just be a friend.They don't think we can do as much as a person without them.But they are wrong.

The people that are Your real friends are the people that deserve to know about Your epilepsy because they won't care You have it. Before telling anybody else about Your epilepsy how do You think they will react to that? People of any age are afraid of things they do not understand. Before telling anybody about Your epilepsy, ask Your self how do You think they will react to that, what kind of character do they have? Is it a person You can trust or do they have a questionable attitude? Will they tell other people You don't want to know that You have epilepsy. If they have a questionable attitude and You don't really trust them then they don't need to know. I have kept my epilepsy a secret from many people in the past and still do today because of their character. One idea for You is join the chat room ask any question You want-people will answer them-nobody uses their real name or tells anybody how old they are. Sorry for making this so long. I hope it has helped
