Danish and almost "human"

Post Reply New Topic

Tried to write this since the 8th feb and I've had a hard time clicking submit whenever I made an attemt to write a similar "hi" like this entry. Given up and decided to make a better one tomorrow.

Is it good enough?

Who cares about thousands of paragraphs about me?

Is the english good enough? I've been told that my vocal english is very good. But that's probably because I mainly hear and speak english(most of my "social" life involves my precious internet connection). But I spell things wrong constantly and I have this perfection thing going on

See?

Already it's getting Too wordy. Everything gets "TL;DR" whatever I do. Be it vocal or on a keyboard.

So let's keep it at this and take possible questions in advance.

Danish aspie forums aren't realy happening, I've been eyeing a danish forum. But the last written post on that was 14 october 2013, so...

I sat down December trying to figure out how exactly how to explain how it feels to be me. So I Googled "I feel like an alien". Among other results this page came up. I didn't realy look. Cause to be honest, I have no social life and the only people I speak too on a weekly basis are americans. I'm a part of a US based PC gaming clan and have been since 2006.

Sometimes it just makes me extremely sad that I almost never speak my native language, but speak english almost daily.

I been "diagnosed" alot over the years by people I've met. I have no idea if they meant the names as insulting or just trying to keep me supressed(I talk alot, because I'm never sure if people realy understands what I mean).

So based on those-

I'm superneurotic, wrapped up in myself, autistic etc and alot more. Getting sad while writing those assumptions made about me, cause it brings back stuff that I don't wanna think about

Yeah and to keep it simple - TL;DR

Got diagnosed last year(June I think it was) and everything fell into place. I've been trying to figure it all out by myself over the years and finally came to the conclussion. That people are generally really weird and supersensitive and sadly I don't get what's going on. I don't wanna talk about this and that, especially not when I'm shopping or doing laundry. I just wanna get home and excuse me if I don't really care about your neighbours hedge being too high. I mean. Come on, tell him or her! I don't care. Sry.

I'm a total annoyance in my attemps at social life. I ask about everything, when they have an agenda or feelings about whatever, I don't understand. Why do you feel like that? I want(demand)an explanation! Otherwise I can't even begin to fathom what the hell is going on.

Can't stop, I need to know. Always

Anyways, decided after months of reading through the forums here. That this it. Noone understands danish in here so I'll give this english a shot , cause I feel that this is my people and I hope that you'll all bear with me. Cause I need you all.

Never cared for nationality anyway, but that's a different story

Hi

Welcome to the club! Me too.



There is a foreign language subforum here where you might find some Danish speakers.

You'll do fine here and welcome to the Wrong Planet.

Welcome home!

Welcome

Hi, welcome

hei I get how it is not to speak your mother language but yeah like someone said I saw there is a Danish subforum.
Danish is a little bit of a difficult language but sounds quite nice:D

No worries about over talking I used to do that myself and I still try to control myself not to over do it. Anyway I believe that if what you say is rational and you are passionate about it you can transfer that passion and convince others to listen to you
I was just trying to make a topic myself when I saw yours.
It's fine I think to demand an explanation for the reason why people feel in a certain way.
Congrats for the nice introduction you made yourself

Thank you everybody

I looked at the danish subforum. It's not the most lively one But then again, Denmark is a country with 5 million citizens, so there probably aren't thousands of aspies here.

It's a strange reaction you get when you start asking people, why they feel this or that. Sometimes they'll get really angry and reply something like. I've already told you thousands of times!

And I'm just sitting there getting frustrated, cause I don't feel like I've been given an answer I can use at all. So why are we even talking if you refuse to explain what it is you're saying!

The last couple of years I've been trying to force myself to watch TV programs that are popular in my country. But most of the time these programs just feels like being forced to be part of a smalltalk marathon. And I hate smalltalk.

So that doesn't work very well. I'm aware that I talk a lot and probably too much. But when I'm with people I feel like I know what they're gonna say, it's not that I'm not interested. But we're just waisting each others time. Let's talk about something really interesting instead. Like about me and what I like or dislike?

God I'm a horrible person

You don't have to tell me that the weather is cold today or that the sun is shining. I ALREADY KNOW! I was there too you know!

Hmm...I get angry and frustrated a lot

About not speaking danish, sometimes for weeks. It's not a daily problem I think about all the time. It just hits me sometimes, especially when I'm a little down. It feels weird or unfair that I live in Denmark, speaks danish fluently. But rarely do. It's not that I hate english, I really like the americans and europeans I've met online and we have fun etc.

But still. You know?

One could rightfully ask something like, do you, yourself do anything to get in contact with people where you live?

The answer would be something like, absolutely not! In fact I am doing my best to avoid people.

So I don't know what I'm actually whining about

Anyway, thanks again. Now I'm gonna race through the forums and spread the weirdness that is me. Hope you can handle it

Ta ta

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

WOW

you really do write A LOT!

yeah well sadly I noticed people don't usually come to us unless we make the first step so if you really want to speak danish you have to try and connect with danish people
or become an online teacher of Danish That would be cool
If you are going to offer lessons of Danish language I'm in but that won't exactly help you have a conversation in Danish .

YEp angry and frustration is present in my world too. It's hard to deal with it isn't it? It can turn into an auto distructive system or something

Couldn't everything be counted as smalltalk?

Welcome! Glad to have you among us.

And by the way, your written English is fine - also the spelling. Though I must say that even though American English is my native tongue, I am frequently frustrated by the language's quirks in spelling, so I am very forgiving of others about that.

Cheers!

Hi.

I went to a book fair once. There was this volume called "How to build your own UFO". I'm still sorry I didn't bring it home.
