Talk about yourself for a bit

Post Reply New Topic

I'm a cross between a metalhead, emo, punk, and just a very hyperactive person.
I'm physically very handy, I know I would be good at PE if I'd like it.

my mom has french heritage, and my dad comes from egypt. thus, I have a french nose (pretty big) and my dad's skin color and dark green/brown eyes.
I recently adopted my moms french last name, because the dutch are pretty xenophobic in any arabic-like matter. and I'd like a job. and not being a cleaner. or a rapper.

I live in this very christian little village, just south of Rotterdam. in general, there are 2 groups of people here. first, the christians, who smoke in little corners behind the backs of their parents and think they're totally awesome. then there are wiggers. lots of them. they live in one of the richest and wealthiest countries in the world, and they dare acting like they're friggin 50cent or something. the point is, they don't take kindly to someone who looks alternative. and so I get in fights a lot. most of the times its me who wins, because I'm not as drunk and high as they are.
and there's also this little but irritating growing group, and that's the hardcore group. hardcore in dutch means the music skinheads listen to, electronic bonking. they can be called skinheads. they wear these black jackets, camo pants, big army boots and of course are completely bald.
most of the times they also have some racist marks embroided on their jackets. like the triskel, or sometimes even the nazi cross. me, being a socialist, or even a bit of a communist sometimes, and not anti-semitic at all, get also often in trouble with these guys. the only problem is that they don't bluff if they say they're gonna stab someone with a swiss knife or something. I hate going around carrying weapons, and am also very much against civilians wielding weapons, but I am in a situation were I find it justified to go around with my granddad's army gun.

that's about it for my village. I plan to move away as soon I turn 18, in little more than a year.
in the town where I go to school, there's this awesome house standing for rent. I plan to live there with my girlfriend, she turns 18 a month before I do. all my friends live there as well.
the city, dordrecht, is the capital of the underground culture in the province. here, being normal is actually pretty unique. its the oldest town in the country, and my school is also the oldest in the country(754 years old) here I can just live a life like I'd like to live.

the girl that I love means the world to me. she is the only person I can always trust. she makes me feel comfortable, and not paranoid-like being on guard to see if there's anyone who'd try to beat me up.
she's my guardian angel:D
and she's also really pretty, with dark brown hair and bright green eyes and a sweet smile, I love her to death

Hi, everyone. I'm abdhp. I'm currently 34.8 years old and a male. I'm not going to college now, but I did receive a bachelors in Mathematics ten years ago. Yes, some of you have seen me rant and rave about many things here. The more angry one is with the world, the more sad and tortured he or she is as a person. I fit this quite well. I have AS, anxiety, and major depression. Sometimes, I'm a little paranoid. In reality, it seems that many in real life think that I'm a sweetheart. I try to be polite when I can; yet I do have a volatile temper.

I have made the conscious decision to remain single for as long as I can. To be honest, even though I am not gay (you just know if you are or not), I am super scared to death of women. I'm afraid of people too. I have never had a girlfriend. I can converse with a few women though, as some that I work with are women. I love my mom and my sister very much, and frankly think that they are the only really good people left alive on this planet (I hope that doesn't offend anyone and am sorry if it does). I love and honor my father, but he is one messed up person. I hope he can see that someday, and get the help he needs.

My obsessions are music, math, cartoons, and I love cats. I hate dogs with a passion. I have been attacked too many times by them in my past. These things keep me alive as well as my family. Without them, I would have been dead long ago.
Yes, I am getting help for my AS and depression; for I feel that it takes a strong man to admit that he has problems, and a stronger man to fix them. But I will admit, there are many days when I just don't want to get out of bed. However, I always show up for work and do my job as best as I can unless I'm very sick.

Oh, I do read a little, but it honestly takes me forever to read. I seem to go for the classics. I'm reading Paradise Lost by Milton now. So far, wow...such intensity in those carefully chosen words. It seems to be a wonderful book. My favorite book so far is Dante's Inferno. I am spiritual, but not religious, and I am against any form of organized religion.

I guess I have mentioned the pertinent things associated with me and who I am, except for my real name; this I really desire to be private, as I'm kind of a private person by nature in real life. I hope I didn't bore you and perhaps entertained you a little. I hope that all of you out there have a great life. Thank you for reading this. Take care.

Hello people, name's Phil (yeah wasn't very creative with the nick), i just registered here. I'm 21, trying to finish my college even though i've been accepted to university in bioanthropology (bio is my thing, but humans interest me too, such fascinating little critters they are) hum what else.

Even though i might seem very nice here, i have very few friends irl that i've kept contact over a long period of time (most are online =/ ) and obviously never had girlfriend because of that. Now it might seem like i'm depressed but that's maybe just my end of session rush ( LAST exam today! ....then on to my pile of session works....). I do enjoy video games , not FPSs though, they make me irk unless they are purely fantasy ones like uh...Stranger's Wrath.

I sometimes make a lot of lame jokes (well i think they are =/ or maybe because nobody laughs). Hrm what else... Even though i do like fantasy, i can be quite realistic (it's downhearting sometimes though ._. ) which is why i'm in social sciences (international stuff ) and i often chuckle about how stupid people can be (like who would pay 140 million dollars for a letter written by Albert Einstein o.O idiotic me thinks). Anyhowww, if anyone wantsa talk to me feel free to ask but just keep it polite (i have my share of idiots to deal with sometimes -.- ).

edit:made some spaces after seeing my wall of text)

Hi all. I'm new to the knowledge of my Aspieness and new to WP. As for the former, i found out whilst looking for answers for my son and got a dx a few weeks ago. While it is a relief to finally find out what the doodle is wrong with me, it is a frustration to try and re-figure and re-configure my life. It makes perfect sense as my life has been characterized by moments of brilliant success followed by years of crushing failure, followed by moments of brill... you get it. I have spent an incredible amount of time trying to figure myself out so i could fix myself with personality, iq and learning style tests, all to no avail. Yet i have still spent the last few weeks in denial. Can this really be the answer? Do i actually have the 'required' obsession traits? (Yes, i have been obsessing over whether or not i have obsessions.) I suppose i'm now in admittance.

So, my hope here on WP is to find answers from fellow Aspies to help me make the most of what i am for the benefit of this planet and to be that help in return. Thanks for being here.

hi im deathchibi
nice to meet you.

Hi, I'm DarkOnister.
Boy / 18 / England

I was diagnosed with AS when I was 5 or younger (before I started school).
There were a few complications because of it (discrimination), but I'm getting less of that from tutors now.
I'm into gaming and I like video editing which then brought me onto 3d animation and then 3d modelling which looks really cool.

My social life outside home is quite low, but I've got a reputation for being the first boy with AS to get through high school in my area without leaving because of trouble. I only really talk to people on teamspeak with a community called Teppe where I've spoken and played games with some unique individuals for over the past 4 years.

Hello!

I'm a 23 year old person (yada-ya, male) from Sweden, Europe.
I was recently re-diagnosed with ADHD and was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome as well. Apparently this was invisible during my early years. I hate being in between, you know? I was supposed to feel safer; knowing that what's wrong with me would place me somewhere. I still have the feeling I don't belong anywhere. Oh well, I'm just going through this life as it is and hopefully I'll be granted clarity in the afterlife. Whatever that is. No, no! I'm not a sad man.

I failed school even though I learned faster and more than the average kids. Unless you attend, you're pretty much screwed in the real world anyway. I managed to get second highest grade in music, English, physical education and social studies with 25% presence.

I have a dream though, a dream of being able to study biology at a higher level.
I am currently working this out with my coach.

My so called “special interest” is music. I have played the guitar for a long time and I sing. I have just recently found out that I can play a lot of instruments “by heart” so to speak. I guess that’s pretty fun.

I’m quite sensitive to contact. I can shake hand with “important people” and from time to time hug my family but that’s about it.

As written in the previous post, my social life outside of my home is very low; pretty much on the verge of non-existent.
I can be “chatty” if I’d like to but I prefer being quiet which results in not meeting any new people.

There are no signs of any other psychological state, yet.

Hi everyone. I'm in my 50's and live in Tucson, AZ. I am recently self-diagnosed; the reasons it took so long would take too much space but suffice it to say that 1) I'm medically trained and used to "acting professional" and 2) I've been long treated for depression and anxiety. These two factors have served to obfuscate my twisty-turny interior life until just a year ago, when the obvious finally smacked me in the head with sufficient force to get my attention. I have tried to get an evaluation but the center I went to refused, saying they needed family input. Since my folks have passed away and I'm the oldest sibling that slams that door. (In other words, I'm too old. That sucks.) But I've taken a couple of self-administered measures (AQ and Aspie Quiz) which put me well in the range.

I recently retired after 30 years in the mental health field because it was just getting too exhausting. One thing I have learned about AS is how much processor (brain, there I go) overhead is involved in fitting in, being sociable and professional.

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with myself. I keep thinking of volunteer things which involve too much interaction with people. I am figuring out that I need to work with my strengths. I would be happy as a clam shelving books for the local library for example but that seems a little dumbed-down. As a compromise I'm thinking of volunteering to teach a computer class for seniors just getting on-line at the rec center.

Enough already. I'm really glad that I found WrongPlanet. It's the right one for me

Nice to meet you, intheattic and docgeorge.

Hi, I'm pinkbowtiepumps, my real name is of no importance, haha

I'm a 19 year old girl from the New England area, diagnosed with AS when I was 5. My parents fought for years with every school system I attended to give me the right services. I'm in debt to them for doing this because if it weren't for the help that they got me I would not be as far along as I am today. I stopped getting services my junior year of high school, and from that point I worked hard at becoming more self-sufficient. I hope I get to the point where I can successfully hold down a job and survive so that I can design clothes and live the life I've always dreamt of.

I'm now entering my sophomore year of college. I'm a fashion design major. I began designing collections when I was a child, it has been my dream for as long as I can remember. I love clothes because they can bring out the creative side in anybody, clothes have the power to fill people with self-esteem and pride. I don't want to design clothing for the mere superficial joy of it, I want to help people be at their best and feel good about who they are.

Along with clothing, Art has always been my passion. I have been creating art my entire life, and have always needed to find a creative outlet in something: stories, paintings, illustrations, jewelry, knitting, sewing, music - I will get fixated on one art form for a certain period of time, it's so relaxing, I couldn't live without expressing myself creatively, I don't know what I would do if I were unable to.

I also play the guitar (though I'm absolutely terrible at it) and sing. I love music. I listen to practically every type of music except for country or christian rock. I like music that you can dance to, regardless of genre. I love theatre, I've been onstage for years, and it's certainly helped me come out of my shell.

I love shiny things, dancing, dance parties, baking, and loving life in general. I'm a little too happy for my own good. I love making new friends - PM me if you want to talk. It's been nice meeting all of you!
