I want to be everyone's hero, but I can't.

Post Reply New Topic

When I go to WrongPlanet to either vent about my troubles or distract myself from them, I notice how many other people also discuss how miserable their lives are. I read these cries for help in hopes that I can somehow assist the posters, but I feel there's nothing I can do. Even when I have an idea for a tip the poster could use, I feel too shy to communicate, or somebody says the right words before me. Of course, I don't even know why I bother trying to help people, especially when I don't even know them. I don't have the experience or common sense necessary to give useful advice, so by reading these posts, all I do is dull my senses and make myself cry over something that isn't happening to me. The fact that I'm not alone isn't enough for me because I still feel lonely and useless. Does anyone else feel this way sometimes? Does anyone know what I should do?

I think people sometimes write about their problems in the hope that there might be someone out there who will just read it and respond.

When I put something up about me, it's usually because I'm a bit mixed up about something and I need to work it out. And sometimes I just want a bit of attention.

I don't think people are looking for someone else to solve there problems for them, but by posting about them does set the ball rolling so that they can figure it out for themselves.

You could be a hero by just reading and responding with a {{{hug}}}, as many people do.

Sometimes it's a big reassurement simply to know that people understand your problems... Being an auti in a non-auti environment can be very lonely... Hearing from other auti's that they recognize your problems can be consoling... No need to be a hero... Let's just support each other by being comprehending and if possible give advice...

I come on here because I can relate. I have one friend in the real world like me, he is in his own little world too. It is not about being a hero. My whole life has been about cars. In fact if it wasn't for cars, I probably wouldn't know much of anything like I do. I feel like a social person when I'm here. I feel like I have something to say that may help others, that does not involve a car. Outside of this place, I see people every day, and about the only thing that I talk about endlessly is their car, or motorcycle, and stuff. I feel I have learned alot revolving myself around the automotive industry. I have fixed alot of things. Funny to know that sometimes in order to fix a car properly, you need to understand the person. Sometimes they do things that causes a problem. Sometimes they try to fix things, and put band aids on things that you need to backtrack, and make right. Sometimes they lie, or don't tell you what is really going on. Alot of people neglect their cars. It is almost like a doctor. When you go into their car, and do a walk around, you get to see into their private little world, and find the truth about alot of things most ordinary people do not know. Ooh, the stories I could tell.

I also have a horrible family background (hope they never know I'm talking about it). Sometimes people on here are very frustrated, and do not know how to deal with it. I can relate to some of it, and try to help any way I can. Do not know if it does any good, but I hope it does. Someone elses tragedy can be your help.
