Asperger's Syndrome May Be the Root of Society's Ills

Post Reply New Topic

No, I'm experiencing no emotion. I am only stating the reasons.

Truly, have you ever considered that some of the things you do can be annoying to others? I'm not saying this as a lame comeback. I'm saying it because, honestly, some of the things you've said or done make you kind of hard for anyone (I would imagine) to get along with.

can we calm it down, please, people.

whilst there is no problem with expressing a difference of opinion, this sort of personal discussion might be better off by PM, okay?

I don't like it when adults are told what they "need" to do, but that's another issue entirely.

this seems like a funny thread, though i skipped over the middle pages.

i prefer interaction over reading too. can't concentrate on anything i can't talk back to. heh.

oh and talk about trolls and those feminazis. they don't even deserve a mention really, they're like trolls in that respect. everyone knows you shouldn't feed trolls.

While we are on the subject of being "told what we need to do", just last week I was talking to a lady who told me I needed to "ditch my angst". Well, let me say that if it were that easy, I would have done it long ago.

And anyway, she causes a certain amount of angst to me by butting into my conversations with other people. I'm not angsty all the time and want to have fun (not "bad" fun) sometimes without everything being so serious.

This butting in business has been the bane of my life for nearly 12 months and I don't want to get into a big fight about it but the way things are going, maybe it will go down that road.

take ur medication ppl evrything will b ok

ooh what kinda medication?

ask ur pdoc what meds are taken by ppl with asbergergers personalety disorder im not sure

Hmmm... Well I don't get along with you. Have you ever seen me with anyone else (other than Donny or Lauren, who can be exasperating people themselves)???

I know I am annoying as hell to live with. But people are always quite friendly to me. I usually do not pursue relationships any further though.

The short of it is, you know very little about me and the times we have met I have been in a sour mood mainly because of you, or Donny, or everyone together acting like I-won't-even-go-there. You have not had the occasion to see me in a good mood for those reasons. Thus, your opinion of me is accurate as far as when I am pissed off. But mostly I am not like that and thus your opinion is not accurate of me as a whole.

It is only accurate when I am with you.

Not to mention you display just about every one of my pet peeves (except I don't think you are a Conservative Republican) and so my patience with you is limited. And too often on these "outings" have I felt like I've been babysitting a 10-year-old kid.

With some people , you can't tell if they're trolling.

You're too judgmental. You have little capacity to tolerate other people's faults and weaknesses despite your having an abundance of your own (by that I mean many more than the typical NT).


I will accept, for the sake of argument, that you may be a wonderful person around other people. Still, my impression of you is that you are a dour person. I early on noticed your tendency to complain about things (U.S. Bank, your mother's financial responsibility, other people, "bitchy"-looking women, etc.), but at first I thought it was a reasonable amount of complaining that people do when they've had a rash of bad luck. However, your tendency to complain in long monologues that I could not even get a word in edgewise in was soon noted as an engrained personality trait. This is in agreement with your extremely pessimistic outlook on life. In another instance, you present an egocentric theory of human behavior as nearly scientific fact because it meshes with your observation.

I have also noticed you're a bit of a hypochondriac or something. Before you had Asperger's syndrome, some psychiatrists threw numerous diagnoses at you; but you genuinely explored some diagnoses on your own and believed with fair certainty (if I am not mistaken) that you had them. Even now, you believe you might have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (I assume the primarily inattentive type) in addition to AS. You also think you have hypo/hyperglycemia and have mentioned numerous other medical conditions (I don't question their veracity).

What I found most disturbing about your hypochondriacal ways was your romanticization of depression. First of all, you claim to become quite severely depressed but only for a day or a few hours. You romanticized being at this emotional low and claimed to almost savor it. As someone who has suffered quite severe major depressive episodes (including with psychotic features, but I never told the psychiatrist about those! well, I didn't think I was paranoid then) as well as residual dysthymia through most of the past ten years of my life, I don't think you have a clue what you're talking about. A depressive mood is inherently distressing to experience. There's nothing pleasant about ruminating how awful your life is, how you try to change it but still fail, how you sometimes imagine killing yourself, how worthless you are, etc.

Honestly, I'm not even positive you're a lesbian as you say you are. You dress butch and say you'd prefer another woman for a romantic relationship, but you find any kind of physical romance disgusting. I think you're more than a little confused about your gender and sexual identity.


You are peeved too easily; it's as simple as that. Some NTs have given me the advice of just "going with the flow." They get on with life by not letting every little thing get to them. Really, your emotions are yours, not mine; you have the power to be annoyed by everything everyone does or not.

In my opinion, you are a loser. I can't help but have that impression can screaming to my head whenever I merely think of your name. If I were to live as you live, I'd feel even more miserable than I do now, and the thing is you're not even trying to expand your horizons. You're satisfied with your own limited experiences, attitudes, and ideas of how things should be; and that's sad.

You, sir, have crossed the line. Have fun with the moderators.

You brought it upon yourself. You brought up problems that I would have ignored. I am merely statment my honest opinion of you; if you don't like it, hey, your opinion of me is no better, yet you're expressing it here, too.

Okay, enough is enough.

I am locking this thread, to stop the personal attacks.

It will be unlocked when people have had time to cool down - apologies to those not involved in the slanging match, but personal attacks will NOT be tolerated on WP.
