hello

Post Reply New Topic

college is out, very very lonely and isolated. just turned 21 seven days, attend a community college in suburban new york. lonely. isolated. tend to write one word sentence fragments:)

dx'ed aspergers back in sophmore year of hs. miserable throughout school, little social interaction no close friends or acquantances. been better in college, but still rarely talk with anyone. used to post on dailykos early this year, that's been my only experience with talking online. but stopped last semester, got bored with it. read a lot of blogs and websites and stuff but never comment, spend way too much time on the computer. been reading wrongplanet recently. since not going to be socializing with anyone until jan. 28th when the spring semester starts, i figure i'll post here. i started on dkos b/c it's the largest pol blog, simiarly wp is the largest aspie forum. i'm nervous but i'll see how it goes. first time i was around anyone with aspergers was oct of this year in a social skills group for aspies, but didn't really work out. lonely.

things about me: in 7th grade i got 7th place in the nystate geography bee. almost photographic memory in geograpy.

people who don't know me at my college probably think i'm crazy and schizophrenic b/c i talk to myself outloud in public(i think outloud and reason and debate with myself) and i constinently stim with my hands or a pen and a tend to space out and wander around the campus somewhat. very poor eye contact too.

i'd write more but i have a tendency to tell way too many personal details too early to people i don't know that well. in conclusion, hello wrong planet and all its denizens.

(edited of my post, used to be "i think i might be spending january with wrong planet:)", weird title i know/ i guess "hello" the current title is a more normal "getting to know you post" title, nervous about first impressions)

hi there.

Welcome to WP!

thank you alex.

hello Tim_Tex. thank you for replying.

Honestly, most people with ASDs have black and white problems. In otherwords, they tell too much or too little. The are hypersensitive or hyposensitive to everything(senses, emotions). We usually have a logical way of looking at life and dont understand why no one else does(except for like minded people). In short, you havent too little or too much and never can on this site. Dont get me wrong, somethings you keep to yourself until you get to know people, but most people here are EXTREMELY tolerant and understanding. You are safe here, feel free to get to know people and let others get to know you. Have questions? Ask and ye shall recieve the best answers we can provide. All in all, welcome to WP!

Honored, I am Flagg and Crimson King combined and reborn. I am locked in eternal battle with One Winged Angel.

exactly like that way with me. i tend either not to talk with someone at all or if i do i treat them too much like i would treat a best friend if i had one. i tell too much and people get bored with my egocentricist words about mysef and i don't like asking questions about others because i feel it's being intrusive and violating their privacy. i have to get out that thinking pattern. but that typical of people with asd, not wanting to violate others "mental space" even if nts don't think there is anything wrong with that. likewise i wait for others to initiate contact with me rather than initiating it with them. appear unfriendly if don't initiate contact. have to work on that.

thank you for the warm welcome Emoal6.

thanks for the welcome flagg. your use of the word "honored" interested me. maybe you're locked in eternal battle with One Winged Angel because you don't want to ask for a truce and lose your "honor". peace is honorable, just because masculinist and heteronormative martial ideologies tell us war is honorable doesn't make it true.

- i was looking to write a weirder reply than your welcome. i think i suceeded. give peace a chance:)
