Oooh,naughty!
But I do not begrudge that waiter his moment of happiness!

You're so autistic, that when you won the lottery, you asked your family
"What should I take for a vacation? Beach stuff or mountain stuff?"

Your family says to you something you don't get at all.

Okay, I'll play.

You're so autistic that the song you've played 100 times today is about to play again, and you can't wait to hear it.


(No offense to anyone; hopefully I can say that ^ because I do it)

That's a funny clip, Tequila!

There are times that I feel old when I'm on here, because most of the members here are at least 10 years younger and most of the people around my age are more into what you'd expect Generation Xers to be into than the things that I enjoy, music and television wise and there might be a few members who are from my own generation who might openly call me boring here in the message boards of WP, because of it. Nobody wants to celebrate with me, the fact that I got my life back on track and started being myself back in the Late September of 2009, because The Kinks and The 60s aren't their own special interests, they don't see what the big deal is and there are a lot of people who've joined after the September or October of 2009 who don't know what the heck I'm talking about. Just because I don't like all the things from 1985 and beyond, some members might think I'm boring or even worse, unhealthy in the head because I am 37 and not 65 years old.

I've had one member ask me wouldn't it be easier and healthier for me to live in the present than it would be for me to enjoy the things that I do. I've ripped through him, telling him about the history of my past 5 years - 4 years at the time and how I've made myself sick and slightly mentally unstable by trying to do those things in 2007 and 2008. I've ripped through that younger member and I feel guilty about it now, because he'd still be a regular member if I didn't do that to him. I've also felt guilty about that, because I know that my role model wouldn't usually do something like that.

I feel that some of the younger members, not all of them and there are younger members that I feel comfortable interacting with on a regular basis - might give me a hard time, because they don't know what the heck I'm talking about when I talk about my special interests and they wouldn't give a rat's ass, anyways because they like things that they grew up with and the things that I like aren't their special interests and than they might keep ranting on in my own threads that I start myself about how I post about Mick Avory and The Kinks all day long....all day long without even thinking about my feelings and how I might feel when I come on here. After an incident like that happens, I get all hush hush about The Kinks and start complaining that I'm walking on eggshells also do to past experiences on here, and that nobody believes that I'm a Highly Sensitive Person and they think that my rank title and signature are both all a big joke, when I'm being very open and honest about myself here on WP, because I'm proud of that achievement.

The catch 22 is that I feel the need to come on here for at least 3 hours a day each day, because this is the only support system I feel that I have right now. Stepping Stones is fine, but an Aspie is hard to come across there.

Dear Mick, I honestly do not understand why you sometimes feel bad about anyone possibly having negative feelings about you. This is a discussion room, not a conversation. Anyone who is disinterested in what another member has to say simply does not read posts from that member. Anyone who chooses to read posts from a member that annoys them only has themselves to blame if they read things that they don't like. If anyone criticizes your opinions or interests, it is that person's responsivility to look at the name on the post , then choose whether or not to read it. Like this 'Bullying On Facebook'...why are these people reading this stuff?? If someone eggs your window, there's abuse; if someone wants to express something negative on Facebook or WrongPlanet, or wherever, don't read it. Period.

I've been working on that. I also thank you for the response as well. I think that everybody should take the advice that you've just given me. You're a good friend. I guess that my sensitive nature kicks in from time to time. I have this rule now that if I post something in a thread that a lot of people might disagree with, that I wait a week or two before I go back to that thread. That way, I'm not in the moment. I also feel that people should ignore posts that ignore and bore them. This is WrongPlanet. What do I expect? I've enjoyed my wave of popularity here between 2004 and 2006. I'm going to be taking things in stride from now on and I'm going to post about whatever pops into my mind. I don't have to walk on eggshells. I'll also ignore suspicious posts in the future.

Agreed with Sylkat

Dear Goodwitchy, About the music/favorite song? Me, too!

Sylkat

What is up people?

Dear zzmondo, Beep! beep!

Sylkat

Beep! Beep! How is it going for everyone on here?

The title of this thread kinda threw me for a second. Why would one of the places where there probably are Aspies against the notion of popularity happen to have a thread displaying it?

Everybody has a different answer I'm sure to that question composer, but I really just like to talk to people on here in this thread.

Dear AScomposer, I like to come here because I like everybody here. This is one of the most fun places on WP!

Sylkat

I agree with you Skylat.
