Your prediction of what would happen if in a few years time if your sexual desires for a woman would not be met, ie. the 'dangerous path' you mentioned and using force. Perhaps you were only kidding or using a metaphor? How can one tell? I found it disturbing that you would see your possible future in that way, but them that's my problem.

I sometimes fall into self-doubting moods after enduring boredom, and I do become very negative about my future. I have been and continue to try a variety of different ways to improve my situation, though. I was in one of those low moods when I made that post; I can usually shake those moods, but they're going to keep coming back until my problems are solved.

Paradoxes such as 'well reasoned advice' and 'going straight to the heart of the matter' for example. My guess is that you will argue this ad infinitum because that is how you operate and I am not willing to pursue this indefinitely, I find it draining.

I don't know where the paradox between well-reasoned advice and going straight to the heart of the matter lies. To give well-reasoned advice, a person must find the core of the problem. Actually, sometimes my "good listening" is because I don't know how to politely get out of a conversation, so I just try to make it productive. Apparently at least some people have liked me for that. One girl always came to me to talk, and I think for a while she liked me too. I wasn't attracted to her romantically, though, for many reasons, not the least of which is she had mild paranoid ideas (she was Jewish and quite politically active, but she thought Islamic extremists on campus were plotting against her).

As for the Mirror you will have to find that yourself, perhaps you can ask your Counsellor or Therapist. Look back over your recent Threads and you may find what I mean.

As far as I know, "mirroring" is a psychological need that's especially important for narcissists. For example, if a narcissist believes he or she is talented in art, they will fish for compliments about their art. Are you suggesting I might be doing something similar?

Mirror - Self Image - how you see yourself.

Analogy: Two Fish swimming in the water. One Fish says to the other Fish: 'The water is kind of hot today!. The other fish says: Water? What Water?

It is a rare thing to see yourself how you really are. Possibly will not match how others see you. Occasionally you may catch a glimpse in the corner of your eye. Experience has spectrum of extremely unpleasant to pleasant. More than often the first rather than the latter. Can be unsettling.

Suggestion: Watch out for the tribunal in you head. People around you can't help being what they are. Neither can you. (I am also saying this for my benefit )

Advice: Trust yourself. Take care.

This is a major part of the problem with AS. The way I perceive myself others sometimes don't because my facial expression, tone of voice, and other NT communication tools are deficient. This can lead people to make all kinds of assumptions about what I like, think, etc. that are sometimes completely inaccurate. I noticed Sophist has some similar problems. I was not really aware that she had become as frustrated socializing with me as she was because her demeanor never implied it. At the same time, I was becoming frustrated with her and didn't think she even noticed, but apparently she did.

I'm loud. Very. At least, once I have settled in a bit. I tend to swing from the rafters a bit. There are a few other 'loud' Aspies in my support group, but a large number are of the sit quietly and be afraid to make a noise Aspies. And I'm not big on the I.T. savant thing either. Hmm... and rumour is I am good with words... Oh yeah, and I'm 19 years old and still having massive meltdowns! So smite me!

*hands you a bra* - When you don't have a support group, a bra is the next best thing.

Looks like to me that you have some real creative talent and have come up with some good ideas and Threads, some of them I would have never thought of, like the voice samples.. Why not expand on your ideas, the world needs creative spirits like you.

I wonder if I'm the most Autistic one here, because I've mentioned Austin Powers, or said "Groovy Baby!" more times than I can count on both hands, twice. Austin is my main Obsession, and I don't know when to quit.
