Hi, I'm a youngish Aspie who has a variety of interests that range from just that all the way to obsessions. I like Survivor and all the possibilities one person's decision has but funnily enough don't 'like' the majority of the people I'm forced to 'interact' with every day. Though I'm aware this may come off as arrogant, I find it fake when somebody bumps into me in a hallway and says a quick sorry-which is in fact the first thing they've ever said to me. There seems to be a few people who acknowledge my existence but the general rule at my high school seems to be that unless I can spew out a dozen rumors a minute I can't hold up a conversation, but I don't want to become someone I'm not just to please someone else.
I know there are people who are interested in real conversations but even if there are their voices are not nearly as loud as the others. I do wish to create friendships, it's just it's hard to dig past all the social stipulations about appearance and superficiality. I came here hoping to find someone who shares my views.
-I also like geology
-I like video games, scifi, and fantasy a lot. Star Wars, Zelda, Pokemon, all that.
-I also love writing about anything really, other than my future of course, which is a big question mark.
-Computers provide me with an interest as well and are time sinks.
--I love music, I don't know a ton of bands but there are some that really resonate with me. I'm not strict about any genre but I currently listen to alternative,soft pop and jazz
School can be a source of frustration when I feel that all it is giving me is a rigid path to becoming one piston of a machine. I was at a private school and met quite a few friends and one of the only adults who I felt I could relate too, but the adult retired and I was receiving no academic stimulation. I made a decision to move to another school though I'm not sure if trading that comforting environment for a much more hostile one with the added bonus of academics. My new teachers, for the most part, expect me to get along with all my peers and communicate as well as a politician.
I have a family and all and they say I have a sense of humor but I never feel as if they understand what I want to say and if they did I'd find myself in a long red chair facing someone with a psychology degree.
If you decided to not pull a tldr; then I appreciate it, and hope to connect with other members of this niche of society I feel as if I've fallen into.
