Moving out and such things?

Post Reply New Topic

Hi Guys

I'm nearly 18 as you can expect that comes with reasonable pressure.
So I have a couple of questions to ask, or more advice i guess. I know this
could have been in the adolescent section of the forum but that seems to
be nearly dead so i figured this was better.

Anyway I'm one of those aspies that is so good at acting people won't guess that i have it, unless they are it themselves and i never seem to run into those. i am skilled verbally and can pretty much talk anyone out of the ring, the problem is that this is all an act, and in reality i'm just a depressed kid who is living a lie.

I (excuse my language) f****d up any chances of a university education 1 year ago when i messed up my junior year (whatever you call that in the states?). So I ended up going to community college (again just a comparison) but I was way to smart for my own good and got my self kicked out after 6 months. I just couldn't fit in with all these ordinary happy people living their normal lives, it really pissed me off how i was way smarten than them (not trying to be arrogant) but that i fail so fast at things like socializing and organisation ( i also have bad bad dispraxsia xD).
So anyway I'm two months away from 18 now and i am on the verge of launching my own business. Of course that may sound reckless to you but the idea in itself is great, its just that i am afraid my aspieness will get in the way.

So here are my questions.

How do you guys gain confidence? Because ever since i was diagnosed a decade ago I've only been struck straight back down every time i gained some.

Managing money? I'm pretty decent at earning money the problem is that i spend it way to fast and unorganized!

Planning in general, any tips?

Being addicted to video games?

Discipline?

Sorry for the really long post guys but i figured that you can answer better if you know more. Thanks to anyone who answers any of these questions Any other tips are also very welcome!

I think you are on the right track by asking those questions, and you just have to keep trying to work on them until you get better. It would help if you could find a role model or two to emulate, someone mature. Confidence comes from accomplishing things.
