How is WP Harmful to you?

Post Reply New Topic

Wrong Planet is made of candy floss and kittens and jelly tots and gingerbread.

Wrong Planet is high in cholesterol.

I have tried to go cold turkey until sweat starts beading up on my forehead and I start shaking uncontrollably. I end up catching myself glancing at my computer screen when I should be doing my work. The worst though is the nightmares of being stuck in rehab with Lindsay Lohan in one of those group meetings where you confess all your mistakes and she ends up throwing herself at me and saying we were made for each other. I wake up shaking in pure terror and immediately find myself clicking onto WrongPlanet and feeding the habit telling myself, 'just a little WP to get myself through the day'.

It really is only harmful to me in that it sucks up so much time, when I should be out hanging with friends. XD

That's a good point.

Well, actually WP made me a little fat because ive been spending too much time on here and less time working outor exercising lol, I may have a WP addiciton problem lol , Maybe ill have to check into WP Rehab lol jk jk

It is hurting my quest to finish my thesis.

On the other hand, it's also kind of vacation, so screw it. >.>

I really need to be able to shut it down at some point and not look at it for a day, though.

This is true. It isn't good to stay at a place like this too often because it can hinder or even regress your own development listening to other people's myriad tales of woe.

I guess there's some that would think that Aspies might spend more time here than trying to normalize themselves and coping with the NT world. I don't think like that, but I'm just trying to see another person's mindset.

My obsession for video games has been replaced by my obsession for WP. Not a whole lot has changed there.

I think the harmful aspect has to do with the sheer number of people who blame all of their problems on autism spectrum disorders. They would have you believe the same things that anti-autism organizations want you to; ie: these disorders do nothing but make your life miserable and difficult; everything would be perfect without them.

That mentality is not only somewhat contagious here, but it gives a skewed sense of what autism spectrum disorders are about to outside viewers.

People are supposed to come here for help, but when it's nothing but complaining about how terrible it is to have autism, it seems to drag everyone into a negative light.

Harmful things can happen in any arena.

For me, it's both comforting knowing there are other people out there with the same issues that I have and somewhat depressing because even among those people I'm completely inept.

It beat me up and stole my lunch money.

I cant recall any really bad experiences here. This site has helped me sort lots of things out with myself & I found my girlfriend, Megz here so this site has been a huge positive thing for me

I'm too lazy to read the whole original post, plus I kinda just want to put how it is harmful to me.

I've probably gained 5 pounds because I'm sitting in a chair the whole time....(but trying to fix that, not allowing myself to sit while i'm on here).

I become so focused that sometimes I go late to running which probably isn't good.

There's more, but my head hurts too much right now to think of any more.

Smart, I wish I wast that smart when I was younger just teach asd children to trust know one people are only in it for themselves.

Have a over-sized Maggie Thatcher poster above the child's bed with her wise words "their is no society only individuals" that would scare any child in to submission. Nobody cares about nobody accept it and move on on .*

Seriously despite her strange political views I think she's kinda awesome I think it must have been her awesome hair cut that did it that it for me





* their are exceptions of cause if your born good looking your parents are more likely to look out for you , hey don't shoot the messenger you can't argue with Darwin can you ?
