Crazy people and hippies are the most interesting people, they dont bother with social graces which makes them the most cool in my book.
I am definately a nutter magnet and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I do understand the PTSD actually. I had that too. After my parents divorced (really ugly too..)my sister was killed in an Auto accident after running away. And this all the while at a new school. By the time I was a senior in HS, I had severe clinical depression.
On top of the un-recognized/unacknowledged autism problem, those things were like a mental nuclear attack.

Sincerely,
Matt

I LOVE the crazy people.

Yes they are attracted to me. I welcome them with open arms.

Probably cause they can sense my bit of crazy.Or my oddness at least.

As long as they are happy, intelligent, not dangerous and are non judgemental & openminded I find them incredibly interesting.Particularly artistic & creative people,

I'd rather have a room full o' crazy than a room full o' people thinking I am.

I love weird people but I don't like the hippy pot smoker type.

Sweetleaf, you can get back on track, you know. It's doable, it's not an impossible task. It's hard but abandoning is not the only possibility you have.You say you're burned out but I'm pretty sure that you could do it with some time.The big issues are in your head (i.e. lack of self esteem, fear, anxiety from bad past experiences). If you can't visualize yourself having a job that you love and being good at what you do, you'll never get there. Btw, I don't believe in the importance of talent. Talent is actually irrelevant. What's important is your mindset. You didn't choose to have a difficult life but you're choosing to not further try to change it.

Back on track? I never was on track I don't think.....also though a lot of my problems are psychological my actual situation is not too awesome either. I don't feel working for the system could ever provide me a job I love but whatever I am still trying to figure out what direction to go.

Also don't assume I have the choice to change everything that's wrong in my life.....or that i can just have a different mindset, i don't exactly have a switch in my brain I can turn off.

I most definitely attract some of the most colorful characters in town.

I seem to attract extremely emotional people, especially criers, much to my chagrin.

I don't know what to do with crying people. They are sticky and gross and fail to see anything in a clear light. Even though I don't care what boy/girl/pair-of-shoes broke his/her heart, I swear twice a week someone either calls me on the phone or shows up at my house crying. Then I have no choice but to just grin and bear it, darn it all! I can't throw a crying person out of my house! Then as they leave it is common to hear the phrase, "You're so good at listening. I love how you never judge me."

It's odd how pure apathy gets mistaken for unconditional love isn't it?
