Do you obsessively need to go out of your way to save the day, help others, and make things right?
This is serious

Everyone should have a little bit of hero complex in them. It's called human decency.

Honestly, yeah, I do. But that's because I care about... well, the people I care about. I don't care who saves the day as long as someone does, and if no-one else is going to then I'm going to try.

I made this because I noticed many people on the spectrum have an extreme sense of moral duty.


Batman "suffers" from a hero complex according psychologists on the history channel.

Often I wish and think I should get out and help people but I feel like if I do so I leave myself exposed, but I am trying more to do it. I usualy help a lot from the shadows, people do not realise what I do but it helps, I think I would do it more if I could go under an alter ego. I feel like if I go out and do what I think is right some people would mock me. But I am getting better at asking people if they need help.

I do it all the time, but many a times I have been stared at or laughed at. In Boliva i.e. I got so upset of mums letting their toddlers play on the square and it was littered with broken bottle glass. Any time soon a child could stumble and smack into the glass.
I pointed it out a number of times only to get hostile reactions, they even had the police asking me what the problem was. i expalined to the police but they told me to calm down ( I got so worked up about the nonchalance of the mothers, I asked them if they had any mother feelings at all, to which they said: Gringo go home). I got pissed off and walked away.

I wondered how come I feel responsability and others not not even mothers??? Am I crazy?

Usually when i meet females online or whatever they usually have some personality/home problems and so i feel obliged to save them from whatever problems they have and i guess by them going with me saves them. But on the other hand I also have a "villian" complex where I want to rule the world and kill anyone that doesn't fit with my ideology. So I'm kind of like Two Face... :D

We had a thread up a while ago about world domination, in it I placed my plans for it, I also have a small villain complex, kind of like Aniken.

But are you too fearful to act in real life?

Well my plan mostly involved secret movements, the dirty part of eroding nations would be done by others all that would be needed would be knowledge and manipulation. Create a few problems here and there even if it is just scareing certain people to act you lay the net under the feat so all that is needed in the end is the final act of pulling. Even then amnomnisity could be used, knowledge is power and the less they have on you the less power others have, or even fake knowledge. I think it could be done with pacifism.

All this to what end? Ruling the world? That's probably more trouble than it's worth and besides it's a total cliche.

It is not like I would go on a killing spree.
