ImAnAspie there is a pattern in my life that I am actually executing right now by being here. I try to be social, I screw up, I go suicidal, rinse and repeat. I think I have reached the status here I have at all my jobs and at college. I am hated and people view me as some kinda risk or threat to be eliminated. Eventually I'll get banned and outcasted from society but this time I don't know that I'll care.
So as a matter of fact, I do think I am a failure. Look at who and what I am. I live on disability on god only knows how many drugs. You couldn't fail harder if you tried. I lived homeless on the street and in jail because I don't know how to survive around people. I don't know when to bite my tongue and when to tell people to go to hell. Thats a problem but I am about at the point everyone can go to hell.
I just wish there was some talent I have but I have nothing. I lack wisdom, I lack friends, I lack skills, I lack insight, I lack discipline. I have failed my family, my friends and most of all myself. I really really wish I was completely autistic and couldn't talk at least then I would get some understanding. Instead I am thrown into these situations that even NTs would find horrifying and I am dealing the emotions of a five year old on top of that but I am expected to be made of steel. I have seen more then most people in their fifties and I don't have the emotional maturity to deal with all that crap.
I would miss you if you weren't on WP.
I once had a friend that lost every job he had because the other staff members couldn't get along with him.
He eventually got a job at IBM and the same thing happened but instead of sacking him, they got him to work the night shift in a room all by himself where he answered a phone. That made him happy.
I don't know where the hell I'm going with this but I don't think you're a failure either. In fact, I quite like you. You reach out to me in times of trouble and I cherish that. I will always be there in whatever way I can for you dcj. I want your life to go well. You deserve it.
