I have absolutely no friends

Post Reply New Topic

What do you mean by other things? Happy things make me happy and sad or bad things make me upset.

I didn't mean that I flip-flop between happy and sad on a whim. I meant that I can be extremely happy and then suddenly my mood will shift for whatever reason and I gradually become sad. Thankfully I'm not as depressed as i used to be.

Everyone is different and unique in their own way, so there is no normal.

I've never a person who, after knowing him/her a few weeks, doesn't have some "problem" or other. Some neurosis, some phobia, some oddity.

Things that make you happy and then going to extremely happy or things that make you sad and then going to extreme sad with no in between would be a sign of bipolar (I think).

Bipolar isn't just having mood swings. The periods of mania and the periods of depression last a long time, like a week or two.

I see that what we have here is what appears to be an Aspie thing happening here. That blindness of how others can see your actions.

1). You say you 'did not know' how I felt about my experiences. Uhhhh.....that should be obvious. Let me throw this back at you. Why would you ever think that someone else's experiences would not matter when it actually counters your arguments directly? And, by saying that a person is not their experience shows blindness as to how experience actually does make us. If you only go out at night doesn't mean there is no sun.

2) you did and are doing that apology/non-apology crap that's become quite popular. You apologize then still go on about how you're right.

3) Really don't give a damn about your personal issues. But, to say that you've never had any problem with insulting people when you are doing it is demonstrating the blindness itself.

Basically, you tried to take your experiences to justify casting your conclusions onto other people. But, when another experience shows differently, you say that experiences are not important. Kinda talking out both sides there.

And to say that one person's experience offers false hope is just ridiculous.

What I see is the blindness that I have become aware of in my life. You say you 'have no problems' in areas but have no friends. It can't be everybody else. You are the only common denominator. Basically the self-fulfilling prophesy I mentioned earlier.

The difference is that I opened a possibility while you have done everything to shut it down.

I don't see the problem here. From what Aristophanes said it sounds like the potential outcomes are clear:

1. You become overwhelmed with depression and die
2. You give up on friends entirely and make peace with yourself

Both of which have one thing in common - you still have no friends. So there's the solution, don't worry about friends and just wait things out until either one of the above pathways becomes reality.

I'm far too young to be jaded from experience, so I've been focusing my energy on forcing myself to go down pathway #2. My ultimate goal is to be completely emotionless one day. It's challenging to always maintain my composure, but it's far better than worrying about a social life that's just not possible.

There is no mistake about this. There is no misinterpretation. You see only those two options. I will not convince you otherwise.

That's what the hell this is.

When I feel things, I FEEL things. My emotions are raw and intense. So when I'm happy, I'm ecstatic. When I'm sad, I'm depressed.

It's everything you're trying to argue with me about that sounds completely different to what I meant. I can't even understand half of what you're saying, it's like walking into a completely different conversation.

^If it helps at all, he's confusing me too.
