What's really sad is when you spend years trying to rebuild trust and make up for the way one has acted in the past, only to have it all flushed down the crapper because you make another mistake.

The perfection some parents demand out of their children is sickening, especially if they have diagnosed autism AND mental illness! :|


I've recently heard ASD described as follows, though it can probably apply to any mental disorder...

Imagine you and I sit down to play a board game. the rulebook is written in a foreign language and, rather than being bothered to translate them for you, you'll just have to learn as we play. Everytime you break a rule, the game starts all over again. And you *have* to play until you beat me. That doesn't sound fair, or like very much fun to me. Eventually, you'll get frustrated with always losing and resign from all social interaction, or I'll get frustrated with your constant rule breaking, tell you off, and never play the game with you again.

After explaining it like that, people tend to understand my diagnosis a bit better. Though, life still sucks. Especially where "capital R" relationships are concerned.

I don't consider anyone liking a guy to be an excuse for him to talk s**t all the time.

Endorsements =/= quality of character.

Heh? It's not an endorsement. I said fond anyway, like I might be fond of an iguana for example.

I'm just here to say some of us actually know the difference between crocodile tears & a guy being honest.

I certainly hope this thread does not attract people to start weighing again in as to why they have a problem with you. I'm sure that wasn't your intention in creating it, but that's certainly a possible outcome.
Haters gotta hate. Unfortunately, Haters also go to great lengths to try to justify their hate. It's their nature. They can't help it.

You shall know them by the fruit they bear.

Indeed you really can't help it. Either you're too arrogant to learn the humility you incessantly demand of others or you're not. Your standards are not the center of the universe & you'll have less to say about feeling ostracized when you stop imposing arbitrary standards on other people.

Persecution complexes really suck.

Will all posters please take time out now to read the Haven rules (stickied threads above by Tallyman and Envirozentinel).

I don't want to have to issue formal warnings to any poster here though if this message is ignored, by anyone including the OP, then warnings may have to be issued by the modteam.

For now if flaming continues I may temporarily lock the thread while everyone calms down.

@cberg


you will never get Fnord to change his ways by sticking to your current MO. the exact opposite is more likely to be true. you are literally shooting yourself in the foot by continuing to berate and respond to him and it is painful to watch.

Me too. I don't hate anyone and I have been abused and used no end. Hate only poisons the one hating, it has no productive purpose at all except for perpetuating bad memories and contaminating any hope of future happiness. The object of your hate carries on happily being a sociopathic as...e and you just get an ulcer and hardened heart. Nah.

I don't hate anyone, well i get annoyed and angry easily but i don't like to hold grudges.
I don't hate you either Fnord, i appreciated your support in my other thread.
I don't think anyone who is supportive like that is a bad person.

Attributing ill will to neutral actions got me triggered as hell, I didn't behave up to what I normally expect from myself.
