Do you wish you had what others have?

Fortunately, life is not a competition about who is first getting a boy/girlfriend, getting married, getting children etc.
In fact, I've heard many NTs speak as if it were.

I know what you mean! Ive already avoided going to weddings of two of my friends and didnt give them a reason past "i dont like weddings". I would just find it so depressing. Same when i see people having fun with their kids. Just a reminder of what i cant have.

I was at a seminar kinda thing once and the guy was giving a story about how he met his now wife. i have no idea why he was talking about it but the story was going for a while so i just stood up suddenly and walked out. i dont need to hear about that thanks!

Out of all the people I knew from high school, I'm still one of the more successful ones.

There are a few people I know who are married and have kids at my age, but I don't envy them one bit. They tend to be the ones who will be fighting to reach the poverty line for the rest of their lives.

This one guy that I had a falling out with two years ago is now married and has a kid, but now he's stuck supporting three people on a cashier's wage. And he never will get anything better, because he didn't think highly of the idea of college/university. Being a cashier is considered "good" in the service industry.

So, I suppose the answer is "no". I know that if I want it, I'll have it in time. The people who insisted on having it all as early as possible will still be floundering at the bottom.

the ability to do weird mental problems in my head, like applications of chaos theory and time-space anomalies. this makes food service all the more entertaining. while it doesn't necessarily help me in college (my grades are not so awesome), it leads to all the more entertaining conversations with my genius viking boyfriend, vanhoff, and other schoolmates. i'd rather socialize lesser than more. i look at people and wonder, sometimes, how they do it. i guess i've been jealous, but there isn't any point. i look at them, and am curious, and observe them being social. i realized a while ago that the college social scene isn't for me and i'd rather drink coffee and play some video games when i probably should be studying. . but, that is the life genetics chose for me and the one i accept, no?

i know what you mean about romanticizing college and stuff. you seem so talented in verbal areas. i don't know what all those acronyms mean. apparently they mean verbal, because apparently you're not good at math. many smart people aren't. the post you wrote was splendid. why don't you take up writing stories or such? i don't know. like just write stuff. i'd probably read it. the beauty about writing is that what you write usually stays put, then you don't have to remember what you wrote. also, you don't have to remember anything anyway, 'cause you can just make up any old random thing. oversimplified? probably. big whoop, wanna fight about it?

what? i think that's just a stereotype. like, the super powerful NT, i don't know, dominating the social scene like.. Nicole Kidman or something. obviously not everyone is as super social appearing as Nicole Kidman. as such, not every aspie is a genius. (personally i don't know if i am but what does it matter. i mean, i guess it does. what do i tell people?) being poor sucks for sure.
