I feel my life was a wasted failure & that I have made things worse for the world & others because of my AS & other issues. What I really want is for my existence to have made things better instead of worse; at the very least break even. I am trying to understand things about myself & the world & others so I can hopefully start correcting/fixing problems & making things better instead of making things worse. I'm also trying to get a job so I can become more independent & be less of a burden to my family & society. I'm putting in applications at places whenever I see/think of something that I think I mite could do fairly well. I'm taking things very cautiously thou because I lost a job a couple years ago because I didn't feel safe doing certain things. It made things more difficult for my family & ended up getting me a lot of debt cuz my benefits wer cut off rite before & I ran up a lot of medical bills by trying to get some stuff treated so I could keep working. My main focus rite now is trying to avoid somehow making things worse or causing anymore problems

i agree.

i know farrrr too many people that are all about being completed...good way to get screwed over in a hurry. instead, be as legit as possible, and you'll attract other people doing the same thing. the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts? i think so :)

Apart from a partner - tell me people - what is the one main thing you want in life?

Probably money. That way, I wouldn't have to worry about my finances in the future and I could afford to not work jobs I don't like and not be bored all the time.

I want to reach my career goal. I just want to do what I feel that I'm meant to do for the rest of my life. Sometimes I cry from the stress from school to always get great grades and never have a break, and to be having to do many other things besides school and make many different social connections ( :?) . I'm only in my sophomore year, so practicality dictates that life could take me elsewhere, but I'm not going to think about that atm (atmospheres, jk).

I go through a lot of personal mini battles when it comes to using the phone and constantly having to be in contact for a few of the places I volunteer at, but I know that once I'm where I'm supposed to be it's all going to be worth it (it already is worth it but it's a figure of speech). I want to "save" lives; literally.

I know I don't seem like a good person on these boards but I really am loving and caring, and I want to work hard to be able to do this for people. If I ever get to become a doctor (not sure what kind yet), I always want to try 100% to make my patients feel like they can be comfortable with me. I don't want them to feel like I'm rushing to get them out the door just so I can fit another patient into the day.

Yes, reproduction is a secondary function which serves the human organism. If that organism isn't fulfilling any primary function which justifies its existence, then it's not worth reproducing.

Doing so would be like a car factory churning out random heaps of useless scrap metal and throwing it all straight into a ditch, instead of coming up with a viable car design first. There is just no point in plotting to duplicate something which is incomplete and serves no purpose.

Part of me wants to go off on bailout and government automotive jokes but yeah, I get your point and completely agree. Then again there are people who seem to have such good genetics that they could be the world's biggest flunkies and still have guys or girls lined up around the block, or you will have people who just don't care about the world or themselves whatsoever so standards and morality don't necessarily apply. Anyone else typically has to work pretty hard.

Think of that as a good thing, its the worst feeling ever.


Very true. I didn't actually believe that until I felt it, but it is true.

Anyway, what I want besides a partner is money and power, just like every human, even if they don't admit it, give in to it, or bother to achieve it.
