Hi from the Gold Coast Australia

Post Reply New Topic

I am 34 years of age, female, a little shy and well...... I am here.
I have read lots of the threads and I am impressed by the honesty and sharing and the lack of ego etc.
I hope I can contribute and make friends here, help myself grows as a person and support others on the journey that can be tough at times.
Mostly, and this is going to sound really sappy, I hope I will be understood instead of judged or advised on what I am doing wrong.

Hello! I'm from the Gold Coast too! 24, male, and a student at Griffith. I can help you feel at home here!

You haven't read that much of the posts, have you? Especially in the Politics forum?

Welcome to WrongPlanet

Welcome to WP!

Nice to meet you, ArcAngel06.

I am kind of shy but I do talked at least to people lol.

Thanks everyone for the welcome- I need the encouragement.
Great to hear there is a fellow Gold Coaster- are there many others from Gold Coast/ Brisbane area?
And you are correct I didnt browse the "political threads" yet but I am planning to real soon

At least....3 other Gold Coast members, and a couple of dozen members from Brisbane, including nannarob, Smelena, Who_Am_I....

Thats encouraging and great to hear.

Just wanted to say "Hi" Nowhere near the Gold Coast, hope you enjoy it here as much as I do.

Hi to you too anyone who quotes Peter Gabriel is a pal of mine-lol

Greetings, ArcAngel06 from the States!

Unfortunately, it's very difficult to be different and be understood. And the more different one is, the more likely one will be misunderstood. That goes for everyone, wherever one falls within or beyond the Autism Spectrum.

And it's difficult to avoid making judgments. We all do. It's a fundamental characteristic of being alive. And people are so busy, and life is short. So, it's far easier and expeditious to make a quick judgment, assign a person to a box, then put the box on the proper place, to be taken out only when what's in that box is needed again. Of course, if you're very different, you may find that the proper place for your box is the trash pile, or the recycling bin where you can be re-manufactured into a useful item, or a storage closet where you may sit alone, never to be picked up again.

The problem with the misunderstanding and the misjudgments we make about one another is that people are not things and are worthy of far better treatment.

Sorry, but as a lover of trees, I confess that I am somewhat sappy at times, myself.

So, ArcAngel06, may you find good information, inspiration, companionship, comfort, understanding, a suspension of judgment, and some good humor here.

Explore and enjoy.

Actually your response was EXACTLY what I was looking for and yep I am on the trash/recycle/storage facility heap.
Your quote reminds me of that saying "if only you could love enough you could rule the world"
I am no Mother Theresa but I can relate.

What do you do for a living?

I breathe. Only kidding but closer to the truth than I would like to admit
I work at a communications company (irony abounds) in technical support and customer service

Ah. Just a student here.
