I am different and special

Post Reply New Topic

hi there,

I think there is something in me, which I probably don't get rid of.

I think I know how it got a part of me: I have friends, but not many, when I had friends, it have been mostly sort of outcasts. I always way sort of different, spend lots of time in front of the computer, where I fantasized that I would be some kind of computer expert. I was not really appreciated by others, and therefore I probably sort of kept my self esteem by feeling special, feeling smarter, more sensitive, wiser.

.... my problem is, i see other people, they are just happy with having a wife and kids and some sort of job. In contrast, I have this dream of achieving something special, becoming a great researcher and so on, and I doubt that it will work, because it is tough.

I ask myself, if I can get happy with this feeling of being special. It raises my expectation of my life, and I don't know if I can fullfill them. Maybe, I would be more happy if I just would expect to have some woman and some kids in my life and this would be enough. I fear, that the expectations raised my feeling of being special will make me unhappy.


anyone who can relate?

thanks,
anton

I can relate, though when I was 6 or 7 I believed I was Superman, and I really haven't lost that believe that I can do anything I set my mind to...

I think though you have to simply take the first step, don't be like me and be too afraid to do it for fear of failure, because then you will never get on the first rung towards something special...and remember, not every doctor can get the credit for finding the cure to cancer, but they ALL contribute towards it merely be doing the research collectively

Even in a so-called lowly job, without a kitchen porter doing all the prep work there would be no veggies and the meal would be ruined and if the cleaner from a hospital got fired and no other got hired, the facility would have to be shut down, don't underestimate anybodies contribution to the whole. (The cleaner is one of the most important people in a hospital, though often looked down upon)

I'm happy to say that I'm special and different as as well. I'm a Kinks Fan in a Beatles town. I also embrace my AS and all the quirks that come along with it.

You are special. Align your actions with your thoughts and this will become obvious on the outside in the same way it's obvious on the inside to you.

Absolutely you're special! You can make a difference in somebody's life every single day.

My daughter told me one day that she's different. I told her that's what makes people so special. It's true.

Could be what it comes down to is a desire to leave behind some kind of legacy.

For many people their legacy is their kids and grandkids. However I think a few people like the OP want to leave behind something else. An invention, or a philosophy, or just a different way of doing things. It doesn't even have to be a grand invention like the next breakthrough in technology but just something notable and memorable.

Yeah..my story is same as above that i think i m special..when i m free then always online...i m using internet continuesly 4 to 5 hours..just like to be alone..

lmao.

I AM ALSO DIFFERENT AND SPECIAL.

I've been telling people this for years

Yes, I don't want family - I want to do the best I can in my current endeavours.
We're all special, don't you forget
