The world keeps depressing me

Post Reply New Topic

When I think of the way a lot of people only live for personal gain and all that...
Taking into consideration sleazy cold blooded business men/women and people who fight in social competition for pointless egos... too afraid to be humble.

What's up?

I find it very hard these days... society for aspies...

If this makes sense.

Yea, it makes sense. Don't let them get to you though, you can't change them.

I'm working on it. Someday.....

Yes, all you can do is change your perception and enjoy the hellride.

We live in a very materialistic world and people seem to think that their worth is measured by the possessions they own...a big car, a lavish home but, if a person's worth is his/her things, what happens when he/she loses these things or they are taken away?

The only thing one truly possesses is their sense of self...life isn't a goal, it is a voyage and the only reality lies in change.
Listen to yourself, follow your own voice and go the way that seems to be the most congruent with yourself and your true nature.

The world is a depressing place. People have their priorities wrong.

It is something that we can never change though.

Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. The world can be judged by the trinkets they trade their life for.

Just consider yourself lucky to not share their madness, you have one of your own.

Going through life with an off the rack madness is so wrong.

Don't be depressed, it is a handy marker system, a flashing light saying, Avoid Me! Avoid Me!

I play in the game, a slezey coldblooded businessman, there is some useful stuff, what does not feed their social competition goes for scrap prices. They are the fools that bought my production line new, hardly used it, and then had to buy new again, i got tools good for many years, for 5% of new.

They may not have a sense of values, but please do not change them. I call them customers.

I wish I could find a few to share another reality with, no luck yet. There are other ways to live.

Seeking people to leave the rat race and survive by publishing. Manga and comic artists, layout, printing, Internet marketing.

I agree. I can't even understand how those kinds of people you described can live that way.

I would feel disgusted with myself for pursuing such meaningless things.

Its things like this post that keep me going. Knowing that I'm not the only one in the world to feel like that. I truly wish there was something definite I could do about it... but just knowing there are others with a sense of what it means to be a decent human being gives me hope for change, that things aren't meant to be like this, they just are for now.

Ok, me and my girl are wanting to have a kid but were afraid to cause i have asperger syndrome and were afraid its genetic, and i really dont want to have to see my kid(s) go through what i went through growing up and what i still go through... Is as genetic??????????

yes I believe it is here is a quote from wikipedia.



I don't see the point in saving the kid from it though everyone has problems including NT's. They will have an issue with AS can be seen as a benefit and not a liability. Too many people subscribe to the scientific way of thinknig of it as a liability instead of a gift it is on all nobiased accounts a different hard wiring of the brain. I'd rather have my kid have that then bigger problems like helping them through depression or something which I've had but in the end all people have problems they even themselves out. Noone gets an unfair shake so why not just raise the kid the best ya can and show them that while there is disadvantages it can be a gift if they use it as such.

I'm the only person I know who is not in the rat race, so I constantly feel something's wrong with me. It's threads like these, indeed, that give me some peace.

Around me, you're only admired if you're good enough at public relations to make people follow you blindly and make lots of money from it. Anything other than that draws indifference and contempt. I have many good traits and skills, but I'm a zero at being a charmer/leader so I'm worth nothing in my community.

as much as i hate AS, i will never have that as the excuse not to have kids. although this AS thing ruins my life totally, i think it helps me to become a much more intellectual and intelligent being. and to be frank with myself, i would rather have no mates at all than not to have a mind like i have now. i'm not bragging or anything like that, but i think i would feel emptier without the 'stuff' in my head. i have social difficulties, but i have improved a lot. and if i can improve, it means i can go on further and perhaps eventually be myself, although the process would be very tough.

what aspies need is really good support, but they just don't get it. well most of us don't.

What helped me was reading books concerning Tibetan Buddhism. The philosophy goes that we're all the cause of our own suffering, and it's made worse by the quest for 'more.' I used to find it all so depressing, but then I remembered those books.

Yeah i feel dat.... Im conmfortable havin a kid now, but my girl is still worried cause from what i see i put her through hell when i get depressed.. No intentionally, but [part of loving somebody is worrying about them when their havin a hard time.... She says i dont put her through hell but i see the concern in her eyes... She also has a fewhealth problems of her own that shes concerned about passing on too... But were talkin about it and thing are goin towards us having a kid.. I think it would be easier raising an aspie child instead of an NT cause i could relate to an aspie better... Honestly, i was on a seperate foum on this the other day and people wqas sayin some deep A$$ crap about, aspies not being able to care for themselfs much less anybody else or some stupid crap like dat, and that pissed me off... Yeah i am an aspie but im still able to make it despite my problems... I refuse to defeat myself and let it take over my life 100% Yeah i cant keep a job cause of my limitations, but that i cant help as of right now... But i wont let it restrict me to a lonely exsitance...
