Interests

Post Reply New Topic

For those who know me, my interest is Satirical Humor invalving puppets and cartoons.
My parents recently discovered a script that was never used for my satirical puppet show that satirized The Gender Binary System in a very Dark Manner aka a fake hate song in a hilarious satirical sense. My parents were concerned and told me if I ever released it in a written form, people would misinterperate in the wrong way and it would cause trouble. I explained that it was for my film satirical puppet show and then they were okay with it but they said to be careful otherwise I would probably never get a job. Anyways Satirical Humor is my life and so is supporting the case of Asperger's and Androgyns in an artistic manner. But I just realised something and this is an Aspie thing. Why am I so attached to my interests to the point of not careing about anything else. I feel like I'm willing to fight for my interests instead of getting myself out of trouble (which I wouldn't really be in trouble anyways because it's only humor, puppets and cartoons in a satirical sense). Do you feel that if you don't think about your interests you fall into depression and cry? I'm always contantly thinking of my future being this great satirist having a TV show someday which seems very illogical to my parents who tell me so and that I should consintrate on my reality, getting a job and thinking positive thoughts not relating to my interests but being proud of myself because I finished College.

I know that I should care about the simple things in my life but for some reason I don't, I don't know why. I know that I should be proud that I finished College, I know that I shouldn't laugh at serious subjects and instead I should fear the taboo, and should always be thankful and never mad at my parents even if they do get on my nerves hear and there.

UGH! I don't mean to sound rude but why do I think that this world is in complete denile. It's like a Farmer who's always happy with holes in his socks and being outside planting dirt and living in a broken farm house with no life partner. (Sorry to all who care about Farmers and Farm life, this is just a little bit of satire just to cheer me up)

But Seriously, I'm down in the dumps. I don't know if I'm ever going to be sucessful in life. I feel that without my interests, my life is meaningless. Seriously, this could be an Aspie thing. I probably need to talk to my Therapist about this. But yeah, can you relate?

if i couldn't dance or draw I would do nothing. I would hate my life... When I'm not dancing or drawing I'm usually looking at ballet videos on youtube or artwork on deviantart.com. It's like, I'm not programmed to do anything else.

Ah, but Messieur Le Grand Guignol, your question is too long.

Should be cut down to:



For it has nothing to do with meaning. It simply is, just as I simply am. And it is not a matter of choice... so let's refine this further:



Aye, lad, it does. It certainly does. I agree with you.

I'm not sure what to do. My parents tell me that the police will be after me if I'm not careful with my satire which I am because it's only puppets. But now I have the haunting feeling that my interests hurts people and I should quit. But if I quit then I'm just going to be depressed my whole life and well I can't commit..........you know because it's wrong and it makes manners worse.

Is that why Aspies have trouble having social lives? Because finding friends who are interested in your interests are so rare to find?

That sounds like an astute observation to me, friend. I'm sure it contributes, but I'm not sure if we can find a single overriding reason social lives are tougher to develop. Some Aspies seem to have some common interests with the NT set, but still cannot develop the social bonds they form so effortlessly and instictually.
