The Alien theory

Post Reply New Topic

I have noticed that in alot of these post that they those of us with AS tend to view ourselves as aliens and that we were just placed on the "wrong planet". I mean Im not arguing with this idea, when I was a very young kid I believed this with all my heart because how could I be the only one in the world who doesnt understand people. I viewed myself (and still do) as an outside observer who is not to intervene in the lives of others but to study them in hopes of one day understanding them. I hope that doesnt make me sound like a total dork, I am not that big into Star Trek or anything so that is not where I got the idea, (not that there is anything wrong with Star Trek it is a good series) I just am curious as to how we each came to that conclusion by ourselves.

I used to listen to the old western European folk stories of the trolls robbing human babies out of their cradles and substituting changling troll babies instead. I could relate to those stories so well, I always thought maybe I was an ugly ill tempered troll baby left on my own in the world to be raised as a human. My mother used to think so, too, or so she said.

I also feel like I do not belong o this world as well. I jsut feel like a guest amoung many NT's, as if they are just being good hosts when they are around me. However, there are some people who I can turn too; some people who I do not feel so alien when I am around them. I date an NT and slowly I am begining to understand more; perhaps one day I will know her fully (if I am not dumped in the meanwhile). In my last relationship I thought I had found everything I was looking for and finally I would not feel like such an Alien, however, all my hopes were dashed in such a horrible way that it is taking me alot of time to trust girls in realtionships now. With my current girlfriend I am constantly worried that I am not wanted and that I am going to get dumped; it has become an obsession, I don't want to get so badly hurt again.

the feeling of being an observer defined me from an early age. but it took a long
time before i actually realized that i was trying to understand other people. mostly
i recall being puzzled, confused, and amused by people.

i never really got into scifi but instead more paranormal lit. the ghosts, odd incidents,
peculiar places, cryptozoology, etc - all stuff that seemed in this world but not. like me.

my favorite books (first read thru in 5th grade) were those of charles fort, brilliantly
written compilations of all sorts of peculiar stuff hanging between this world and
somewhere else.

my hero was Marvin the Martian so my parents always joked about how Marvin the Martian was gonna come get me someday.

NTs would of been the ones with a wrongplanet if they was outnumbered

My grandmother used to tell my mother that I was a changling......

Ditto on the changeling stories, the first time I read that as a child, I began to wonder...and yet I looked like my relatives...

I was actually shocked and moved to tears when I first researched AS on Wikipedia and saw the link to WrongPlanet, as I'd been describing myself with that very phrase to friends for so many years.

yes! that is when I started getting the science fiction angle of it, because I felt like we were those people that walked out of the mother ship in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"

I also have a feeling that there is a reason we are all united from around the world now, goodness only knows why.

but I am up for the adventure!

this planet is so weird that maybe I AM from here. :D

Maybe that's what the greys are doing during all those abductions. Genetically engineering an upgrade into the species. Soon the Mother ship will come and take us all home, where life is beautiful all the time, and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-ha....

You wait here, I'll mix up the Kool Aid...don't take off your sneakers...

I think this is a better theory and makes more sense. We have the brains of a different humanoid species that breeded with Cro-Magnons. http://www.rdos.net/eng/asperger.htm

I'm not an alien.

Life would be so much easier if I was.

I'm from Mars. :D

That's the sort of thing I used to read, and I tried to convince myself it was true.
