| So, finally got around to finishing Neon Genesis Evangelion. About a month and a half ago... still inconsistent. xD It became one of those "life-changing" things. The ending just... yeah. One of the few times I felt like I could really connect to a main character and yet at the same time, find inspi... |

| Topic title is self-explanatory. I'm not quite sure how to go about this, it's complicated. Basically, I hate sex, hate hearing about it, hate thinking about, and wish I never had to think about it or act about it again. This is one of the reasons, I've found, I've avoided making a relationship with... |

| No, not really. I long for this. I'm just beginning to understand myself for who I am. Asperger's is really just one part of this complicated mess I tend to be. I can say for certainty my parents don't, and often they think they do which is annoying. They're too narrow-minded to accept me when I exp... |

I often tend to slowly lose my attention in a tired sense. :S But that's also due to sleep deprivation as ... |

| I feel different from most aspies and most NTs. It's almost like I'm a little bit of both but I don't fit into either category. This. I tried to convince myself, "Aha, finally here's a place where you'll find people like you!" and soon realized people here weren't like me. :? I don't have all of th... |

The thing about once having an interest in art, but no longer finding the desire to go towards it again, suggests anhedonia, a part of depression, which stood out in that post. I definitely recognize it, it flat-out sucks.
Do you live alone or with other students, or with parents, etc...? |

In addition to what's been stated here, whenever you do catch yourself having a negative thought towards yourself, "correct yourself" and tell yourself the positive version of what you just thought.
If that made sense. :S |

| Asking for a cure implies that it is some sort of disease. Autism/Aspergers is a state of being. It's like trying to find a "cure" for being Asian. That is quite a ridiculous comparison in my opinion. I'm glad you are happy with your life. However, AS is a disease just like other genetic disorders.... |

| Loneliness is the reason I often slip to depressed thoughts. I also sympathize. I don't have the best of luck with it, either. One thing I've found that helps though, is that if you use facebook or social networking, temporarily de-activate your account(s) or something like that (even if it's just "... |
