Hey, i'm new here but not new to the issues we face.. Ever since I was little, I was different.. I knew it then like I know it now..

Last year, I had a wonderful time with alopecia (where you lose your hair) and I lost all my hair in 6 months.. pretty dramatic eh? Not really.. I didnt care.. Its image.. Now, when I lost my eye brows (yes, all hair 8O ) I read that one may become depressed.. I didnt.. I didnt care.. But that interested me.. Why was I not becoming depressed over this loss of image? I understand why people would get upset but it didnt work for me because the image didnt bother me.. God I love asking 'why'

So off I went into research.. I wanted to know what was unique, if anything, about me.. I somehow landed on the word 'loner..' Which I am.. obviously.. Then that moved to psychology, personality traits, and the like.. I turned out to be an INTJ when I took the 'briggs' test,' the most independent of the 16 types.. ok, well, its reinforcing the fact I am a loner.. So what? I got bothered on why someone like me would even exist.. I can function like everyone else but I'm clearly different (socially(especially), limited interest, etc).. Then, I dont know how, but I landed on meditation..

Let me be the #__ person to tell you that meditation was designed for us.. To slow down the mind, ride the waves, and feel the spirit within.. I've been blathering on lately about how 'Vulcans' from star trek are just autistic/aspies with 0 emotion

Anyways, thats a bit of an intro.. People in "real life" dont get that much info out of me, only what they can see, I'm a bald quiet arrogant person.. When in reality, I'm a quiet, peaceful, meditative, ww2 fanatic who loves thinking about things

I read a couple threads and am quite eagre to share my theories and what have you's on us and more.. looking at some threads, some of my theories have been already explored which I'm happy to see..

I'm truly happy to find others like myself.. I've never been diagnosed but I dont need a doctor to tell me who I am, I have no condition, I am simply me :wink:

My version of meditation is either lying on my bed staring around my room, or going outside on a nice sunny day observing the surrounding bush and houses and trees and such.

Welcome!
