To me... everyone here has a lot of knowledge and looks like they have something about themselves such as a talent or great at their interests...
and then there's me... not so intelligent... not so talented and not really that good on interests...
I don't think I really know who I am anymore... apart from some poor sap who is... depressed. Yeah I see a lot of potential with everyone else than I do with myself... always have done.
I generally feel like a set of wasted genes... because nothing extraordinary came out, no unique abilities or savant stuff...
Hell... maybe I should go into drugs and alcohol and stuff excessively... nothing happened that's shown any talent or anything in me at all. After a sleep... I may feel a little better but not much which is my opinion.
PastFixations...I agree with others that you are being hard on yourself. I am actualy much the same way. Society conditions us to think one way. Why? I have absolutely no idea. And there are people who do that and it works for them or it appears to work for them. Whether you realize it or not, you and everybody else here have the potential to utrun tose NT people mentally. Who on earth said you needed to be a savant to feel worthwhile? Savants are cool, but they're so limited. You don't need to be extraordinary. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am 18 years old. I was diagnosed with Aspergers at the age of 5, Bipolar at the age of 10 or 11. As you can imagine, this has made thigns difficult for me. Growing up in school, I never really undestood howother people worked. I never really got to crack people's brains to see what was inside until much later. By that time, being dumb and bland seemed more appealing than being thoughtful and obscure. But I worked through a lot of these problems and eventually got to thep ointwhere I acquired a good set of friend. O courese by this time a lot of negative thinking set in. Actually, I woke up to that. I now realise that the majority really is stupid and shouldn't run things. They think they control the shop but they're wrong. As long as we adapt we will be fine. It'a like learning a new language or being bicultural. I don't nwhy you say you are so untalented. Or why you say your interests tank. My guess is they don't. They're your interests and you don't necessarily need other's approval. This is something 've learned myself. If you bring yourself forward, the right people will come. Pastfixations, please please please don't take up drugs or alcohol. It seems like a good idea cause the pain will be numbed, but it's going to make your life hell. I've see it happen in some form or another to many many many people
