I am going to the doctor soon but I am going to share some thoughts...

All my life I have always been really weird but now that I have to function in the real world now I care.

I am pretty much obsessed over using my brain as much as possible. Whenever I daydream I always try to stop thinking and look around and try using my other senses. It hurts though so I always retreat.
Whenever I watch TV I always have to repeat everything I have heard so I remember everything
My left eye vibrates way too much and I always see weird s**t floating in my left eye.
I have images in my head that always pop up.
Working I have never been a good worker. My heart is in the right place but I never do anything correctly. I always seem to miss a step and I never speak up.
I am left handed.
I sometimes hear words WAY differently then what they said like selective hearing and it is always something weird when it is selective.
Most words come to me in a blob then actual words.
I CANNOT follow instructions at all and I CAN'T learn ANYTHING from lectures.
Everytime I get connected with somebody I ALWAYs back away because I feel like having connections with people is a sign of weakness. I don't even talk to my family.
I am paranoid htat I might lose my head any minute.
Sometimes I get painful images of myself or other people getting hurt and it physically hurts me to think it.
Sometimes I see bugs.

Any ideas before I go to the doctor?

assuming you're trying to ascertain whether or not you might have Asperger's syndrome, i would suggest looking up the 'triad of social impairments' and trying to assess yourself by those criteria. unofficially, but it may give you a good idea.
someone will probably give much more helpful advice soon though.

You sound more schizophrenic to me than on the autism spectrum. Extremely paranoid, hallucinating, definitely never associated with Asperger's. :P

i wouldn't pay much attention to that.
when a WP member actually concerned with helping rather than harming comes along, then the good advice and informed opinions will follow.
methinks dunbots has found a new target.

I never wanna be schizophrenic...It isn't really hallucinations...just sometimes I see a black spot. I have always had problems with my left eye and I just got glasses recently...I could just be paranoid withour being schizophrenic. I never wanna be a schizo.

I am not trying to be harmful. What makes you think that because I don't like you, means I don't like Plywood?

Seriously, look at the symptoms of schizophrenia:

* hallucinations
* paranoid or bizarre delusions
* disorganized speech and thinking

All of which Plywood described.

Don't get your panties in a bunch Fudo. :P

Well, you can't choose to be schizophrenic...

You did say you hallucinate seeing bugs though.

looking over the symptoms of schizophrenia won't be necessary, having already closely examined the symptoms of anti-social personality disorder.
what plywood describes could be interpreted in many ways and you are not fit to judge.
hallucinations have not necessarily been described. sounds more like intrusive thoughts to me but i don't know.
words not processing correctly could be an auditory processing disorder quite common in autistic individuals.
you said 'definitely never associated with aspergers :P' seems more likely you are teasing than trying to help.
of course you'd deny it, or feign ignorance.

I wasn't teasing. Get over yourself. This is getting pathetic. :roll:

Who made you the judge of who's fit to decide? I know I'm not a psychologist, I was just giving my input so he can research it and see if it applies to him.

Also, he said absolutely nothing about having social problems of any kind, which drastically reduces the chance of him having Asperger's Syndrome.

I don't really hallucinate.
HONESTLY the bug thing happened once I went on a week l9ong drinking binge, which I don't drink or do any drugs anymore besides smoke ciggs from time to time. I read on it and the bug thing could just be delirium tremens. the rest of them however I have had for a while.

maybe give your opinion more respectfully if you genuinely want to help? you saw no mention of social issues, maybe if you re-read the op you will eventually.

Ok, there's one line regarding social matters that I missed. Still, seeing it as a sign of weakness is not related to Asperger's. Whatever Plywood has, I'm 100% sure it's not an autism spectrum disorder.

Also, it's not my fault that we have different interpretations of certain smilies. :P

I don't really have social problems. A lot of people think I am weird but I am not trying to make many connections. I have also only had one girlfriend but I prefer the delusion of the internet to make connections. I try to keep myself safe.

BTW, I wasn't offended by Dun...he was just saying what he thought using what I said.

So we can pretty much rule out Asperger's then.

And thanks. :)


Have you ever experienced depersonalization?

I do whenever I am working. I always feel like going on a rampage sometimes just because of the worthlessness of everything. I thought it was just my nihilistic perspective on everything. I also feel like it whenever I am walking that everything is exactly like a videogame so I get imaginative and imagine that we were all born with classes. This is just imaginative thinking though and it occupies my walking time.

I also feel like ANY kind of conformity at any time is a sign of weakness. I try to stay alone because I don't even know how to conform at all. I have to do the opposite.

you may well be 100% sure, but that doesn't make what you believe to be true..
regardless it's pointless talking to you other than trying to trick you into getting yourself banned from WP, but from what i've read, it doesn't seem worth the effort or particularly likely to succeed, i'm confident you 'know' why that is without any logical thought.
good luck to both of you.
