Love chaos?

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone of you people with asperger's, or anyone really, enjoy chaos and find it exciting? Everything from smaller things like drama between two parts(mental or physical fights for instance) to burning buildings/accidents to more serious things like people dieing? I'm wondering if this might be related to asperger's or maybe ADHD?


Discussing "the darker side" is something i rarely see people talk about which is understandable. Keep in mind that everyone have skeletons in their closet and its best to keep the doors closed in real life. This is wrongplanet however.

I hate chaos lol. I get depressed and explode when there is too much chaos!

I very much like things to be the same most of the time and I also don't like change. I can tolerate changes when I am in control of them and I am given or have warning and can introduce them gradually...but nothing sudden or out of my control or I freak out! Chaos usually comes with too many changes for me to be able to handle.

Well sometimes it's fascinating to watch if it isn't something I'm directly involved in or my support/intervention is required. If for no other reason than observing the reactions the parties involved and the observers have to various acts and words. I mean yeah, when it's been two people neither me nor my friends have been too attached to about to get into something heated there may have been some Me :"Oh she is going to explode isn't she?" Friend: "Hellz yeah, I can't believe he said that to her face. I wish I'd brought popcorn, this is gonna be epic" type situations. Only works for situations I have some distance on though, it's hard to observe anything when you're in the center of everything.

Well I prefer to watch a lot of action and explosions because it keeps my attention.
I like chaos if it has to do with nature. I find lightning, tornadoes, volcanoes etc really interesting.

I don't like the chaos of crowds or loud noises.
Sometimes I enjoy seeing other people fight or see a person losing it. Those are my rare moments but.

It could have something to do with ADHD. We seek constant stimulation and some of us actually like a lot of stimuli bombarding us. I'm not like that but I do like it if it's controlled and it depends if I'm feeling particularly hyper.

Like it...fight fight

crash..fire..something draws my attention to it

but then traumatised for years by the images

It depends on the kind of chaos. Stuff like my family's Christmas party or a Super Bowl party with my friends? Yeah, I like it. Something like NYC? I'll pass.

I love the post-chaos "silence". Ahhhhh, nothing like recharging those batteries. When I was younger chaos was my dragon and I was forever chasing it.

Chaos is bliss! My mind is chaos, my body is chaos, my blood is chaos, my home is chaos, society is chaos, existence is chaos, ALL IS CHAOS!!

I like chaos, especially if I'm not involved. Or even if I am, as long as I'm not singled out. Sometimes chaos breeds fear, but sometimes fear can be exhilarating.

OH I don't mind the chaos of a thunder storm...I'd rather have a thunder storm than a sunny day as long as the thunder is not right overhead. I also don't mind watching people have an argument lol as long as I am not involved in it lol. I sometimes watch reality police shows.

That goes back to the human affinity for voyeurism that causes people to enjoy Jersey Shore on MTV. I don't know if I'd call thunderstorms chaotic; they SEEM predictable, even though I guess technically they can cause a tree to fall on your house, and they're calming to me

I'm not trying to pick apart what you're saying, rather I'm more curious as to what type of "chaos" we're likely to enjoy. Chaos is a word with many uses.

I don't love chaos, but chaos loves me.

You bet!

Sadly, I always seem to find myself in the middle of it...

I find the lack of empathy of people who sit on the side and entertain themselves at the expense of others very unerving however.

No, it puts me into a sensory overload. But that just depends. If I am expecting it, I do fine. But I hate real life drama and hate seeing two fights between people (It was exciting as a kid but seeing grown ups fighting, is scary and stressful) and I liked hearing my mother yelling at my dad (which wasn't very often) and I loved watching kids getting into trouble as a kid and on the internet where I see online dramas go on, oh yeah. Every time I hear about one going on or that went on, I always want to go see it and read it. One of the reasons why locked threads catch my attention. It's just like seeing a car accident, you always have to slow down to see it and that is why traffic gets backed up because everyone is stopping to look at it. I am one of those people too.

I don't know why seeing burning buildings or a crime scene or car accidents is such a guilty pleasure. I know lot of people are curious in that stuff or else they wouldn't hang around to watch or see it. I remember when I was eight, a few police cars and an ambulance came to my friend's house and I went rushing over there and so did a few neighbors and other kids. We all stood in the front yard and watched. I was there because I was very curious to see who got hurt. The EMTs rushed in the house with the stretcher and came out with my friend's mother and the next day everyone on the bus was asking her how she got hurt and my friend said she took too many pills. I learned then that is why mom would always get mad at me for taking these chewy favorable pills because if I take too much of those, I will end up going to the hospital too very hurt. I remember finding that all exciting because it was happening in my own neighborhood right behind my house when in fact someone was very sick and I should have been worried and scared for my friend than all excited but I was eight then so I am sure that is normal for any eight year old.

For me its alike to what Exhumed said. Its exciting when you have no idea what comes next. That everything might fall apart around you and everyone else. Watching people around you afraid and chaotic is different from the boring safety you feel everyday.
