Are you spending your life trying to understand everything?

Post Reply New Topic

I do, I'm always wondering about things and trying to figure things out.

It's good because I'm a good problem solver, I'm not sure if it is a bad trait.

I definitely am. The only problem is that I've noticed it takes some simple things from life away like relationships and the simplicities of what should be enjoyed...I guess.

Even this site that's addictive to me is b/c I get curious and want to know more about issues and topics and members. I've read articles of that being a part of AS which is connected to OCD.

The stuff I wonder about could go on and on even when already answered but even then it's never enough and I don't know why. So I do wonder about stuff all the time but sometimes it can be exclusive to what I'm curious about. I used to get really high grades in subjects of interest but very poor grades on other subjects b/c I put all my effort on the others. It also didn't help my social skills very well but I guess I didn't have them to begin with.

I guess it can be both good and bad.

Yeah I find everything addictive.

Before I came here I was fighting againt everything, now I relaxed about myself and accept myself for being me, I've lost my will to fight.

Now I'm being me and maybe desending to deep into the aspie world.

I find I'm looking for things on here to interest me, not all that much does when I think about it. But I keep searching looking for that little buzz I get from finding something amusing or interesting.


hmmm Crazy Brain

haha. I spend so much time on it that I have made a permanent card that says "I don't understand. Please explain." that I hold up at least 20 times a day. and I have another card that says "Please wait while I think this through." that I use probably just as much.

“What does it do? Why is it like that? Whatta ya mean? Why would you do that? WHAT AM I DOING HERE?!”

One of these days, my curiosity will get the better of me.

Knowing and understanding everything is an obsession of mine. In fact, I wish I could live however long it takes to know everything. Knowledge is power and I has an unquenchable thrust for power.

I have an insatiable desire for knowledge. I fancy myself a Renaissance Man because I want to understand everything. When I was a kid I would drive people nuts asking "Why?" all the time.
