QFT.


Opinions can be given without being hurtful.

Quoted for truth.

I think he really meant to say 'sorry'.

I'm starting to stress about it... Anyone else feel that way?


no. it is all just words on my monitor that i read.

i try to remain "civil" because there are things that i like to type here on this site, and i do not want to be banned.

i may have an unhealthy reaction to certain people, but i do not bother to advise them of that, so i do not invite replies of hostility often.

sometimes i am ill considered and i will say something that attracts a counter reply, but i have a "force field" in activation that prevents me from ever actually realizing in a subjective way, what the essence of their gripe is.


i feel like i am the ultimate authority to announce my appraisal of a circumstance, and so i am my own spokesman, but i unfortunately do not attach much value to external protesting sentiments pertinent to what i say.

i do not suffer from paranoia, so i do not have any unreasonable anxiety based upon a sense of fundamental "flawedness" of security relating to my surety that what i think is correct.

"enemies" in my world are just "detractors", and they are very welcome to exit my field of attention.

i have no "enemies" that i can think of (which is lucky for them)

Yes. It seems to be inevitable for anyone who expresses their opinions, especially when those opinions are both fact-based and unpopular.

Not at all. As I said, it seems to be inevitable ... so why should I feel stressed about it?

Yes... because a lot of people don't seem to understand me here. I mean it seems most of the time people come off as more rude than they are helpful and its quite distressing that I end up telling them off. I can't help when I get distressed because I always expect someone to be nice about it... yet it seems like people often seem more annoyed.

I guess its because I have more with HFA/AS that they don't understand. I wanted to come here to understand what I am going through but seems like I'm just getting lashed at half the time because people don't get what I am going through. I shouldn't have to tell them my whole life story just for them to understand. When I ask questions, like about being told to go to college or get a job, I tell them its impossible for me and they start making a big deal out of it and asking why I even said anything or whatever when its completely irrelevant to what my OP was when I wrote the topic.

People jump at me for no reason. I know a lot of people here with AS have a hard time being able to see it in another person's shoes but shouldn't there still be a limit to what can be said? It seems opinions here are more harsh than what they should be. I just like to get some positive answers instead of negative ones because the negatives ones don't help me one bit... they only make me distressed and anxiety-prone.
