tired of living in my brain

Post Reply New Topic

i'm tired of it. i'm tired of doing all the things i want to do in my brain. i'm tired of saying all the things i want to say in my brain. i'm tired of living my life in my brain. so you know what. it's time for me to cut that out. yes it's going to be hard but i think i can do it. in fact, i'm going to try to do it when ever i can. oh and by the way. i'm a girl and i hate people getting off topic. i hate people giving the save subjects over and over. i hate people saying the same thing, thinking the same thought. so you know what, i'm going to say that too. if you want to kick me out, fine but you know what? deep down i think all of you are tired of that too.

sounds good. *bites you good luck*

I'd advise you to not presume about what other people think "deep down". Although i do share your distaste of saying the same things over and over. Makes me wonder how i'm going to stand being a college teacher since i'm gonna have to explain essentially the same ideas over and over and over and over.....

katie, any ideas so far about how you're going to do this?

*notices admirable determination on katie's face*

This is one of the reasons I get moody in sleepy-ville areas.
I too, don't relate to others in the NT world and when i want
to say something it comes out all wrong on a regular basis.

This is why i don't hold much conversations with others in public
places. I bounce the thoughts in my head because that
is the only place they seem to be felt and heard. I then think
bad thoughts about others in the place and how i am unworthy
to even call them friendly.

This would be a good example at Dunn Bros. For all that I
focus on they are nice but don't like to listen to my speech
interpretations of what I want to really say. I hate this
expressionless feeling.



Agreed!



Hmmmmm? I tried this and got kicked out of the Borders in S.F
for it. It is so hard to get past others fit-in clicks, Good luck.



I wish you luck, and for the record this is why I give my thoughts
the video treatment and audio treatment. If I can't express it,
I will use my autistic eye-sound-video creativity to give my feelings
and thoughts a face. This is why I make Emoti-Vids and host them.

Da-Da! Hi-I am naked on your computer screen and by the
way here are my video or written thoughts. This is why
I host myself to others in written or video form.

Sincerely,

P.S...Thanks for reminding me of what it is like living in your head.

1. thinking I want to walk 2 blocks a thought
2. doing walking 2 blocks

Is this what you mean ? And thinking has few limits time space and resources are there. Vs time,space,resources doing has limits.

3. Find things you can do

4. And not wanting to sound rude or insulting but you= brain/mind doing or thinking that mushy mind body dual nature stuff = null not vaild

Hope this helps ?

Do you mean obsessive *thinking*? That's a pretty normal aspie thing and I definitely have that. We're thinkers, we live inside our heads, always overanalyzing everything. I know it can get pretty tiresome and even interfere with life (the real world outside your head). I've been trying to get away from that myself lately. I don't really have any advice on it though... good luck!

well i have had some success, i told my mom a couple things that i hate, so i guess that's a start.

How did your mom react? I made the same decision a few years ago, with mixed results. It appears I'm not very good at communicating my thoughts - they come out wrong - so people get pissed sometimes. But I have to say it feels good to stand up for myself and not keep everything inside.

The part about living in your head - I don't know if this is what you mean but I have a real problem with obsessive, negative thoughts. My way of coping has been to always keep my mind busy, by doing something or reading. Lately, though, the weirdest thing has happened. My doctor put me on lithium for my depression, and I no longer have negative, obsessive thoughts. I can actually just sit and space out (whole new experience for me) or think "normally". I love it.

I too live inside my head. I sometimes wish I didn't, but it's part of me and my life and who I am.

It's kind of like a TARDIS - bigger on the inside than it seems from the outside.

I rehearse things in there. If I need to phone someone, I go through every word that I want to say, over and over until I've got it remembered. I like to withdraw from the real world to there as it can be a place where I can dream.

If mankind could converse by thoughts then I would have no problem with conversation.

actually it went really good. she didnt get mad. then again no type of progress on her part towards making those things happen less either.

I can really relate to this! I've lived at least five times more in my head than in the real world, rehearsing things. I read a book called "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis that stopped me from doing that so much, though, because it just made me stressed about things that never happen and I was just "feeding the demons" with my imaginary stress.

Accept yourself for who you are and focus on your strengths and you'll be much happier! It's a hard thing to do, though, but worth the effort.

I like to snuggle up in my mind. It is so nice and warm and cozy. My brain is like a big fuzzy teddy bear. I am tired right now.

I have the same problem, but lately I've found it helpful to simply write down whatever I'm thinking in a journal. Helps clear out my mind a little.
