Ever turned down someone who was trying to be your friend due to this disorder.

Many times....
Not as blatant as actually telling them I don't want to be their friend though, it would take an extreme case for me to do that. I mostly find excuses for why I can't go here or there or do this or that with them and they eventually become frustrated or lose interest and move on.
Most of these were people from my work.

If someone is trying to be my friend I usually jump at the chance as I don't have many.
But I always treat them with suspicion.

I remember (I must have been 14-15 or so) I was at the local village dance.
I was either drunk or stoned or both. I couldn't have been there sober.
Anyway, this girl comes up to me and asks if I fancy her friend, and did I want to get off with her!
I totally panicked, said NO rather abruptly and ran away as fast as I could.

I never did find out which girl liked me. And didn't get that first kiss till I was 21.
Damn.

All the time with woman. If there was ANY chance that it could become sexual I could not deal with it. I remember a girl who lived near me who apparently had a crush on me. She would offer me rides when she saw me walking. I took a couple, but I got so panicy that I just bolted from the car when she dropped me off. I have made friends with older woman - my little old lady friends. With men I have kept my distance. Remember the scene in 40 Year Old Virgin where they figure out that he's a virgin? THAT kind of thing is why. I could be exposed as a freak. I just don't fit in anywhere.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
