Hello from Austria

Post Reply New Topic

Hi, I'm 24, male and I'm from Vienna, Austria (that's right, the same city where that Asperger guy used to work). I haven't been diagnosed with anything related to AS but I'm basically what you get if you take every single sympton of AS and throw in a little bit of depression. Or a lot, depends on my mood. I mean, what can an official diagnosis do for me? It doesn't make life easier for me, does it? Well, I guess I'm a bit scared to have it confirmed that I can't ever be 'normal'.

Currently I'm a student. What can I say, I'm not really great at anything I do. The one thing I'm good at is picking up foreign languages and scripts/alphabets, meaning I'm fluent in a couple of languages and can read half a dozen different alphabets and Japanese. Maybe that's my 'special interest', I don't know. I'm not so good at writing in any language though.

I tend to do a lot of travelling, typically twice a year for one to three months. I've been to dozens of countries on every continent except Antarctica. Great, you might say. I can't say that it makes me any happier though. But it helps me understand other cultures. My theory is that I travel to get away from my everyday life which isn't that great to be honest. I mostly feel empty and sad. And lonely, very lonely.

Hey, I'm sitting here in front of my computer on Saturday night at 1am. I guess that tells you more about me than anything else.

Sorry for my incoherent ramblings and for being such a downer.

Anyway, I'm glad I'm here. Seems like I understand what people are saying here which is more than I can say of most of the people I meet every day.

Welcome! A lot of people here feel the same way you do, so you're not alone. I hope you have fun posting here.

Welcome!

Hope you have a good time here.

Thanks! Why does your sig say "Russia"? (Just curious.)

You will have a great time here you are not alone.

Russia is my main obsession.

Well, that is an interesting topic. Would love to go there one day. I'm currently learning Russian (and I'm taking a Russian course at my university).

I'm learning as well! I'm almost fluent, but I have trouble forming sentences.

Many warm welcomes.
