How is WP Harmful to you?

Post Reply New Topic

Hey btw i copied and pasted it the wrong way lol, that was actually my facebook page by accident lol and i think it made people log on to my account , someone was talking about there being a WP group on facebook, where we can not only talk on here but on Facebook as well, and well, i found this page on facebook about AS people who think wrongplanet is harmful, that i found a little disturbing in a way . i believe its called Wrongplanet for Aspies, and when you click on it it will say its for Aspies who think wrongplanet is harmful, i dont get how you could think wrongplanet is more harmful to an aspie than helpful. I met some amazing people on here and ive been helped out so much, ive been helped out more on this site than anyone has in Real life and i couldnt be happier after i joined . And it hasnt just helped me, its helped me to understand autism as a whole, there are more and more kids out there being born with Autism, which means there are more and more parents out there who will need to understand their childrens autism, Maybe my own son or daughter will be born autistic? and i will need to know how to handle them and understand them.. there needs to be more teachers who know how to handle an autistic kids meltdown in the classroom, Or any job where you deal with people really, because im sure one day youll run into an autistic person, And the truth is, everyone needs to understand Autism, because you never know,It could be your neighbor, your student, your sibling, even your own child. it could be anyone, and we need to understand autism, because after we learn to understand autistic people, we can learn to love them for the beautiful people that they really are.

I think it's a group of trolls is all, read some of their "claims."

its rather depressing 65% of the time and a general waste of my day. But theres a few that make it worth the stay.

If anything, the thing that would cause me harm in relation to WP is if I never got to go on here again.

Interacting with the other members of WP has inspired me to become more cynical about the overall future of humanity.

Takes too much of my time, but still I love it.

I think it is totally worth it, kind of is my only way of socializing while feeling free and still being myself.

It killed my whole family one day before their retirement.

WP in itself isn't harmful. It's simply an arena where harmful things can happen.

There's only a few things I can't say that about.

I end up walking on egg shells after I get personal attacks in my own threads about my special interests and I don't post about those interests unless I tell everyone what song I'm listening to, or giving a newcomer the best personalized welcome that I've made up for myself. After a few week, I feel safe again and I feel that I can open up about my interests again.

If you get personally attacked in your own thread, or for any other reason, just let me know, and I'll personally go rip the attackers a new a***hole. I like making it "expensive" for people to attack others, so that maybe next time they'll think twice about whether they really want to get into that again or not.

Ahem.

Now for the OP's question....

The only bad thing about WP is that you can sometimes find yourself the victim of personal attacks in your own threads, which leads to anger, confusion, and anxiety; which are the very things we were trying to get away from by coming to WP in the first place.

Really depends on your view of harmful, I spend a maximum of 1 hour on here every week if even that.

i never really knew that there were people like that on here who would do something like that to you, well, well people who attack personal threads really shouldnt be doing that and im really sorry that happens to you, the way i see it if your going to be a hater then dont be on a forum like this, because were all different and we all have different opinions and views on life, and if you cant accept that then an aspie forum really isnt the place for you.

Although it's certainly positive on the balance, in certain circumstances it can take my social ineptness to a whole new level...

It's a fact: WrongPlanet makes you violent!
