scale of -10 to +10, how do you feel right now?

Post Reply New Topic

My therapist recently told me that I had strong signs of asperger's. On the subject of my inability to make friends (both platonic and romantic) the bottom line was that I had to adapt and make an intentional effort at talking, being social, and communicating. I see where your coming from, but the chances of someone meeting your criteria is near nada. I, like you, would love nothing more than to be with someone like myself, but the reality of it is that it's simply unrealistic. We're in the same boat, and we can either retain our specific criteria and remain alone (which, believe me, we will) or we can suck it up, take chances, and branch out.

I'm a 4. Decent day.

I'm feeling about a 6. All I need is a girl.

Here is an explanation of my criteria:

Liberal: I live in a place where the majority of people are Southern Baptists, a very conservative Christian denomination known for trying to curb creativity, self-expression, and open-mindedness. They believe that anyone who doesn't adhere to their ultra-strict version of Christianity will be cast into the pits of hell. They are the ones that crusade against anything offensive, and detrimental to their beliefs. Many of the things I am interested in go against their beliefs.

South Park: This is one of many TV shows that the Southern Baptists, many other evangelical Christian denominations, and the Mormons, want yanked off the air. That is why I come to the conclusion that anyone who watches South Park is liberal. And I don't know of anything on TV, other than porn, that is more liberal than South Park.

Aspie: My first girlfriend was an NT, and lied to me and cheated on me (because she found a guy with a nicer car). My second girlfriend was an Aspie, and she did not lie or cheat. I limit myself to other Aspies because Aspies do not lie or cheat. And, unlike with NTs, I don't have to worry about being physically attractive or making a certain amount of money.

I'm not criticizing your criteria, as a matter of fact, mine is almost exactly the same. My point was that finding someone to meet that criteria is nigh impossible, so we can either discard it and broaden our horizons or remain alone. I mean, let's be honest with ourselves. I have had zero success maintaining my [similar] criteria, and, judging from your posts declaring depression on the matter, you have been unsuccessful also. It's time we rethink our methods since they obviously aren't working.

Not all Christians are like that. As a matter of fact, not all Southern Baptists are like that. Some of them are even South Park fans.

seems like they are
I read the bible a few times and God seems like a total ass hole
but he loves me-er well loved me
I told him to get out of my life a few years ago

I feel okay

Still depressed about the whole dating situation. I try to be a good role model on here, and try to help people, and have a definitive plan in my life, but that still doesn't attract Aspie women. Why are they put off by me?

5.
Kind of impassive. Waiting for the day to pass.

8.

I did it. I actually summoned up the balls to speak to people properly. +15% social skills.

I screwed up on one occassion, however. I stared at a girl for too long.

Never mind, it was a mistake and if I ever have to, I'll apologise.

Phase 1.0 of social skills improvement complete.

Probably the same reason they are put off by me. Because we have rigid, unrealistic criteria and inflexible plans.

I want to feel for something that happened but can't very well atm... it's strange. I don't know where I am on the scale atm.

7. I'm fine, but I'm a little nervous about finals.

Good luck with them I hope you do well.
i have them soon too but not nervous this time for some reason.


I am 6, stupid neopets addiction is going to make me fail my finals. 1.5 million np though without multiple accounts. thats probably not something a 20 year old should be proud of though lol
my CD is scratched up but my sister still has the songs so its not that bad. My little brother is singing though, he really isnt that good :/ but he thinks he is amazing and wont listen to anyone who says otherwise. he is ok with guitar though and its better then him shooting those stupid darts against the wall.
I have three exams next week, two on teus and one on wed. cant wait to get them over with although one of them shouldnt be that bad. I have a few the week after but i will study for them later.
also complained to someone about something thats been worrying me, had nothing to do with him so i hope i didnt scare him with it all :p he said its fine though. I probably shouldnt be on now now that i think about it :/

-5. I feel like you all hate me.

why do you feel like this?
