Ever get concerned about life being delayed by AS of HFA?

Post Reply New Topic

I am for sure not delayed, but my time is different from the Nts, in such a way that I seem to be delayed in some aspects, but very up at other aspects. For me the usual is not to follow other people time. And I like it.

im in college currently....

but the only real (few) friends i had were in highschool... and due to me sucking at keeping the lines up... over the years, they just stop calling... i know they're off doin whatever and gettin married and such too... and it makes me wonder... if i get married, i don't even think i'd have anyone to invite other than family (/quazi shudder).

i have work and two kitties goin for me.... oh and wow

Am I concerned about it? No. I'm mildly pissed off about it, but I'm not concerned...

I feel similarly - People almost ten years younger than me are establishing homes, starting a family... I do worry that I either won't be ready for those things until it's too late, or that I won't be able to cope if I do ever get ready...

autistic, know it and i am beginning to not care about the stupid steps. i can't seem to change it anyway so who else really gives a f**k

Well the worst of it as I probably mentioned in the previous posts started a couple years ago, when I started to go stagnant in my progress. At first I didn't seem to care at all myself but then I pretty much didn't do much at all. It was a little more frozen point in time. So it is usually those years I regret the most, not my whole life.

So yeah I didn't really care either but now I do for the dwelling on useless garbage that kept me from loosening up for a bit. Thought too hard focused and now it hurts.

Okay so I forgot a few things, my body changed a little and I am a tab out of shape along with a little dent in my personal care, But that is what happens.

I'LL STOP REPEATING MYSELF!

GO!! !! LET IT GO!!

I DIDN'T HURT ANYONE!

Chronically, never ending. In my current state I can't see myself going further at all without intervention of some kind. Though I'm not sure i blame just AS for that exactly but that's purely semantics.

I try not to think about it, I'm on my own path.

It's dangerous and ultimately pointless to compare.

I'm almost 28 and I still live at home, I graduated from university almost 7 years ago and still haven't found a job I actually want to do, rather than a job I have to do, and on top of that I bumped into an old schoolmate a couple of months back, and heard about weddings and divorces and kids, things I've never had any opportunity to experience first-hand.

Sometimes I feel like I've been plodding along in place my whole life.

The feeling of being left behind is a big part of what has me stressed out anymore. Back when I had my whole life ahead of me I didn't mind that I hid away and ignored the world. But here I sit at the age of 29 and I see people years my junior well on their way in life. I could have, should have, went to college. But I couldn't fathom the thought of how much socialization would be involved in such a setting.

It bugs me alot. I'm not too old to get with it and make a life for myself. But it feels like the midnight hour is approaching fast.

I have a lot of troubles with this.... if someone asks me what I do with myself, the response "surf the internet" usually isn't that appropriate, especially when I have 2 kids.

I'm 26 (27 in July) and still don't know what I want to do with my life. I haven't bothered to make any friends, so that hinders things as well because I don't have people to talk to about these things (it doesn't bother me often). My mother often tells me it's time for me to be responsible and take care of my family I take care of them, I really do, but it's the fact that I'm so stuck doing these stupid little things (hobbies/interests) that I don't do what needs to be done. It makes it harder to actually realize these things and STILL not be able to do anything to change it.

Other people my age own their own homes (some of them), have very good jobs-almost all of them are working, and I'm just here... playing games on the comp and surfing the net, not seeing much outside of that.

And that's the most annoying aspect of it all. Basically, in our society, all you really need is a cult of personality to get ahead. It helps if you're really good looking, smart, etc. But I think it amounts to the ones that have charisma. If you can't win people's affection and respect you probably won't get very far. And on a related note, you need friends. I remember the advantages and opportunities that friends contributed.

Unfortunately, it's hard to find friends who have my interests, lol, and if I do find them, they just sit around and surf the net too-still not much talking, lol.

My other obsession seems to be figuring myself out, and always has been. Who wants to sit around and listen to me talk about myself all day long??? ...and how can I get much done when I have this unsolved "riddle" staring me in the face all day every day-as I can't easily just walk away from myself, and I can't seem to turn it off no matter how I try.

Well, at least I'm obviously not alone feeling like this! Tons of you are around my age feeling the same way

I often wonder the same thing about myself. I worry that I'm left behind and it'll take me years to catch up. Luckily my mom noticed that I was a "late bloomer" and although she didn't know what was wrong with me encouraged me to always do things at my own pace. I don't think it much matters when you get to that ever elusive there as long as you're happy when you do.
