I just cant see the point to all of this. To live on the planet with nothing in common with all the people that surround you. To live subjected to their judgements and prejudices. To live with their scorn. What's the f&&**# point? Honestly. Why should I be motivated to live when living is just painful and annoying.

I've tried everything I can to grow and fit in and it's not happening. Now I just want to drink a tonne of poison and have it be over with. Why should I have to suffer my entire life for being born a social abberration. What the hell was God thinking? People are rubbish anyway, most of them not worth you time. Just can't figure out what I should even want to live. This place is hell.

The people world sucks. I don't rely on it.

The natural world is beautiful, though, and can't be taken away from you.

You don't have to pay for the purple sunset near Stonehenge, for example.

Then there's ideas out there--not necessarily the people arguing the ideas--but the ideas themselves.

I feel like that rather often, like its all f***ing pointless...but I try and keep going don't really know the exact reason at the moment, guess just cannot be bothered to kill myself that would take effort and I've been feeling kinda lazy lately.

Oh! That's true. I lost perspective on that. I love the natural world, can't wait to create a garden, build a house, do all of those things. Yes, sweet, sweet soothing thoughts there. :wink:

Ha....yep me too. It takes planning and stuff. How gutless I am. :twisted: And where would my kitty cats be if I start decomposing in the living room? Poor kitties.

Yes. I don't think I can take it anymore. The beauty of the natural world isn't making a difference. That's because the problem is internal, within me, not the world. My experience of life is tainted by the faulty interface that is my mind and body. I could be in paradise, but I'd still be stuck in my defective body.
So, yeah, I hear ya. But I am hesitant to act because my reptilian brain refuses to give up. It holds out hope for something better in the future. And I suppose its possible. I guess I'll keep treading water for a bit. At least now I know what's wrong with me and I can set more reasonable parameters. It was much worse before.
So, hugs. All I can suggest is trying to keep your mind in the moment and take as many offerings of happiness as you can.

Never...

Giving up is letting them win.

I will live my life to the last breath no matter if anyone else likes it or not.

I relate to OP but I try to think this way. The Breaking Benjamin song Until The End puts it really well.

"The final fight, I win
The final fight, I win
The final fight, I win
But I will go on until the end"

I often think that I might as well just end it all. But then I think of all the things I still want to do in the world before leaving it. So I decide to stick around so I can try to do some of these things.

They would have a feast on your body!

Most people feel despair at some point. It's a mood state, and thank goodness, moods change with time.

I have contemplated similar things. I too do not fit into the social constructs of my birth country. I wondered if I should give up the life I, nor any of us, did not ask to have. Before I give up, I am going to find out if maybe I fit in to a different country's community. Germany seems like it might suit me. If it doesn't, I might try some place else. Problems have more than one possible solution, but you must be willing to risk the exploration process.

Yes, it is so true: "nothing ventured, nothing gained". Life doesn't come with guarantees and insurance policies - sometimes you have to cast your fate to the wind and set sail, and see what happens. Been there, done that, never regretted it..

I feel the exact way you feel. It might sound strange - but I don't consider myself a human, so when ever I talk about non aspies, I refer to them as humans as they are unlike us 'Aliens'.

The rituals humans carry on and the way they are just bugs me to the point of wanting to go into my room with a 24 hours supply of food and drink, lock the door, shut the blinds and just forget about the world, I do that quite often, its a way of hiding from the humans and contemplate life for a while, while disconnecting from reality with a fantasy world in a video game. I have contemplated suicide and even attempted it numerous times, each time I failed for one reason, the thought of my loving parents, of course I don't really understand love or friendship or how to feel loved, but I feel connected I should say to my family. There will very much likely be one day that I succeed in my departure, I don't plane on being here for the next 30 or so years, I don't think I could take the world for that long, it all seems to much.

Anyhow, stay away from them humans and study a subject that isn't of this world such as astronomy and feel like you are on a journey home, where ever that may be. Kind of a morbid reply, and I'm sorry if I've depressed a few folks, but I'd rather be honest with the world than be a mannequin with a fake smile....as most people are....
