I want to help people. Especally emotionally and psychologically. I feel mindblowingly rejected and abandonded, oft by people I've loved most. Who hates me becuase I'm bi-racial, Who hates me becuase I'm smart, Who hates me becuase I'm "different" ( :roll: ). Hate hate hate f****.


I want to feel love. I want to feel warmth. I want to feel giving. I want to give the comfort and assurance that was denied to me as a person. I feel this way becuase I want to feel as though I do have a prupose. That I'm not less capable becuase I'm disabilied or part African-American. I want to tell kids like me they can do better, and they deserve to ge judged on their characther and not their differences.


Hey you aren't alone in this wish. That we feel differently then most is very often the case. Then we get thumped by others and some of us get thumped even more. That I feel empty inside, sure, sometimes and it's really easy to fill with the bad things. That you want to spit it back in their face or to shoulder some guilt and fill it with in yourself. Or to abuse the hell out of yourself with a self destructive life style and not even know why you're doing it. See the thing is, it isn't just an Aspie thing and you know this better then most. It's been around a long time. I do think we might come more then prewired for it to happen. That we sense it differently.

That you might see this as a way to fill yourself with the good emotions isn't a bad way to do it. It isn't my way, but that's cool too. Just remember what was tossed on you and you should find good insight on how to approach others. No matter which path you choose. The world sure needs more diplomats, too much hate, too much not understanding each other, too much killing.

Just remember what it felt like to get thumped and remember what is in your hand, I don't like getting hit with a book. Most don't. I am hand to hand combat trained and I can disarm a preacher at 50 meters with an M-16. I might miss if I misjudge the wind-age, hold it far from your body when I pull the trigger. 'Cause I sure will do it. :wink:

I try to believe in God, but every time I prayed for something, it seemed that He was sitting there, doing nothing.

I'm an atheist, so a call from God would probably be signs of scizophrenia.

Wow, some of you people still believe in a god? I was too smart for that when I was like 13.

Na.

I never feel the need to do "good" things either; I do what I do.

I remember feeling a calling. It was over whelming. Tear of joy!! This is it!! This is why I was born!! !! Then, I found out that Christian religion doesn't condone women in the leadership roll I saw myself in.... I was betrayed by a want rather than a calling?? Betrayed by the Church? Change religions? No. I just started educating myself on them. Then I was angry for believing in the Toothfairy too long. Embarassed. If you want to maitain religious beliefs, Don't think about them too hard.

It can also be a simple need to do good things which can also be in the name of humanity.


I agree with AdrianB. I often get surges of ambition to do great things, but I believe it's my own personal urge to make the most of my life and to help other people.

I'm getting it and it's driving me nuts that I'm often unable to act on it!

Yes, I've been though too many things for God to be a coincidence. Sometimes I try to doubt it, bu tin the end I can't.

There are too many signs.

Crying hopelessly at night under the glow of a black light. I picked up a bandanna to wipe my face and the white spots on its dye created a perfect cross in the middle when glowing.

Late for school and declaring to myself that God will get me to school if it matters that much. A minute later one of my teachers stopped and offered me a ride.

Asking questions before bed only to have them answered correctly in dreams. Amazingly correct.

Asking questions then opening a random page in the Bible or a book of quotes. Answers to my life I find in them are always turn out right.


I'm new to the whole Christian thing, but already over the few months since last Spring Break too much has happened. Some days I want to deny it, but there is a God out there. I can't get away from that fact.

I believe that there is something god-like that has created us and everything around us. My parents are both Christians and they have experienced this "calling" I have not so i don't understand it. I think that those who don't believe in god are more "out there" then those that do believe.

I think that all religions are the same and none is more valid then another. Science has not disproved the existance of a god and therefore I believe atheism to be a religion because imo it requires the same abount of belief and faith that other religions have. If you say there is no god it requires belief and faith because it has not been proven or disproven.
