Sounds to me like you are totally OK. How is live going?

Cheers for now and by the way; tell me how your life is going in Germany.

Hello. It is nice to see some positives.

I think we need a lot of more positive threads here. Being optimistic and positive is quite important to me and for this I'm trying to always be that way. It's also something that causes other people to like you.

BTW: I did just google Townsville. Seems to be a really nice place for holidays but it's a bit to far away from Germany for just dropping by. It's quite interesting where the people here live.

Thank you for your positive outlook! I agree with you that many get stuck in bad places and can't see the positive. Been there myself, for way too long.

Its good to be in places where we can appreciate what we have.

Hi all,
I just thought to share what I believe (in a nutshell) and am wondering if anyone feels the same/similar way.

* I am not defective. I am different,I am Aspie. Being an Aspie for me is wonderful (except when I am in meltdown

You can define "wonderful" however you want

But , not having friends, needing a lot of sleep, sensory overload. Anxiety and depression comorbid. That is not "wonderful,"





* I will not sacrifice my self-worth for peer acceptance.

" Beggars can't be choosers"

"There is something wrong with everything "


Ideal versus practical

For example, if your only choice was working in the Gestapo or homeless, sometimes it is dysfunctional to adhere to your correct values



* I am a good person with many interesting life events to talk about.


Dispositional versus situational

"Interesting" is vague and subjective

"Interesting" is not always good

Usually when someone says someone is a "good person", they are trying to dismiss bad things someone did



* I take pride in myself.

* I am capable of getting along with society.

Ambiguous

In what way?

* I ask for help when I need it. Being an Aspie I generally work 'issues' out on my own.



* I am a person who is worthy of others’ respect and acceptance.

That is just your opinion

Sometimes you don't get what you are "worthy" of

* I respect and accept people who are 'different.'



* I will find a career interest that is well suited to my abilities and interests.


Optimistic versus realistic

Not everyone gets their dream job

Plenty of people work hard and h to work jobs they hate . The jobs pay little

Health, luck, personality, skills

Some of your job search, is beyond your control




* I will be patient with those who need time to understand me.

Only if they are trying to understand you

Only if there is a functional reason why they have to understand you

* I never give up on myself.

"Never"? Give up in what way?


It's easy to say "never", but you can't imagine all the situations

* I accept myself for who I am.
* I am more alert that 'the average Joe' and I notice change. It is like I have a sixth sense.
* I look around constantly wherever I travel and by doing so I learn.

Hi bob, these are very positive points and word.

I hope we can all learn from your positivity and apply these good points to our lives ourselves.

Peace

Bob,

This is a good list. I agree that we need more positive threads.

Here are some of mine:

I love animals, particularly cats, and have had many pets who have lived long lives.
I love to play tennis and I have a lot of fun doing it.
I love to sing.
When I'm passionate about a subject, I research it thoroughly.
