Questions about you

Post Reply New Topic

Soultanjian: I'm glad that you have your clothes on your body. I do not a lot of comments since you didn't have questions.

Numbah4: sorry that you don't have a positive outlook on the future. Other than that you don't have questions so I don't have comments other than the outlook. I have as too.

Spag: I don't like sports that the rules are not consistent. I'm an aspie. I say, do what you like, like what you do, say what you want as long as its truth. Truth that true are not the same thing.

Tamaki: metal rules! You sound like you will be just fine with your great attitude! I'm an aspie as well.

Norintha: I am an aspie, you sound like you will fit in here just fine! If you ever want to talk just let me know.

Im 28
I am a preschool teacher
Married with 2 kids, the oldest is in the process of getting an eval as he too might have asp
My husband is nt
I like working out on the ellyptical machine, watching new movies that are funny or child friendly family movies, dancing, drinking wine, watching documentaries, reading books that are based on real life events. I used to really like roller blading but I haven't done that in years, singing in the shower or while I do dishes, listening to music.

I have no friends at the current time, people think I am rude or weird, but mostly rude. However I dont mean to be. Im highly misunderstood by everyone. I dont even have family members that talk to me besides my brother occasionaly. Like once every month

Personality: I dream like an optimist, but prepare like a pessimist. Life isn't always ideal so I try to be ready for that. But I'm always trying to see things in a positive light. I try to ask difficult questions that make people reevaluate their thoughts and value. I don't get upset because whatever happens, happens. I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I try not to be naive. I tend to be calm even in difficult situations. I like to smile.
Relationships: I'm straight, male, and single. I'm open to friendship or dating, but I'm not searching for it.

Extra Comments: This isn't everything about me. Somethings I'll never share. Somethings I'll share later.

What is your first name? Cory

Age: 17

Location: Texas, USA

Hobbies and Interests: Music, writing, and psychology (of which I intend on pursuing as a major in college). And gaming, of course.

Why are you here? Curiosity and interest.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): N/A, although I should probably get checked in soon with the psych to get everything in order. While I never self-diagnose, based off of multiple informational sources (and experience), chronic depression seems highly probable, BPD as well. SAD I might have had in the past looking back now, but have learned to cope enough with it so that it is no longer much of an issue. =p Anxiety disorder is also something considerably possible (again, relating to the symptoms), as they are in my family genes and Mother was diagnosed.

Favorite subjects: Anything but math.

Year/Grade: Senior in Highschool set to graduate in May 2013

Favorite music: Anything that sounds good to me, although I mainly listen to EDM, Jazz, ambient, and to a lesser degree classical. I also listen to a miscellaneous collection of oldies artists.

Books: Not too much a reader of books, but I'd have to say Tad Williams's Otherland series. Good virtual-reality stuff going on in that book.

TV shows/Movies: I don't like most of what's on TV. Saw Wreck-It-Ralph recently on the big screen, though. The gamer within me squee'd.

Instrument: Piano. I also electronically produce and compose music, so you could also say my PC is an instrument.

Do you like sports? Esports, yes (sorry, I'm a tech-geek). Otherwise, nup.

Family: Mother, Father, myself... Ee-yup!

Clothing: Casual to formal-casual.

How did you find this website? Le Google.

Job: Student, unemployed.

Plans for the future? Psychology and music production, mainly. How will the two run hand-in-hand? Well, there's a way, and I'll certainly try my best to find it and make it work. Teaching music is also a possibility (although now I mainly play by ear and thus would have to take music theory in spite of me having some knowledge of the details).
