The Misfit Club - for all those aliens feeling left behind

Post Reply New Topic

That made me smile.

I slept through an appointment I had with a college counselor the other day (already rescheduled once)
and my mother later demanded to know "Didn't you have somewhere you needed to be today? At 11?"
and I was clueless until she reminded me. I acted like it was the next day.

Why?

Because I didn't feel like her lecturing me and talking down to me, and the damned appointment is easy to reschedule.
I'm a f*cked up 22 year old.
NOT a ten year old.


That "Little White Lies" thing is interesting-
for a large part of my life, I honestly thought it was less rude to interrupt someone with "I don't care"
than pretend to listen to them.

I think that is where we don't get 'them'... they do not see 'little white lies' as lies. It is some twisted form of sympathy in a way, sparing other peoples feeling or something.

Simply things like - "Hi- how are you?" should be simple. you asked a question I'll give you an answer 'Hi - yeah, my day could be better, and you?"

Nervous shift, smiles fades, que quick exit out of conversation.

Why?

Why did we invent language only to NOT use it the way it was intended. If you don't want to know how my day is they WHY ASK? Just saying 'HI - nice day today." would be just as acceptable and might even start a pleasant conversation. Why open a conversation with a question you don't really want the answer to?

Okay - rant over. Not a good day today...

^^*hugs* you doin ok draelynn?

i think a lot of times people ask the question "how are you" to try and show another person that they care. i guess i did misspeak though- nothin wrong with keeping certain nosy individuals outside of my head if i feel that's best. i do hate lying though, so i always try to be vague when necessary....

Stressful day today...

There were back to back shows on autism on Discovery today. I have a husband who is very reluctant to research our daughter's Asperger's on his own and he certainly will not listen to me. I had hoped a 'neutral' third party, like a tv show would instill, at least, some basic knowledge. It only started a big fight with the ususal miscommunication and huge meltdown on my part.

Just drained. I'll be back to normal in a day or two. Thanks for asking though.

course. oh man... he doesn't understand that more knowledge and communication is a good thing??

Well, yes he does... from everyone but me.

I'm working on family services for our 8 year old... hopefully the calvary will be on the way soon. He might not listen to me but he will listen to 'the experts'.

well that's good, at least for you daughter's sake.

it's weird how some don't trust information from right from the source.

I have always had that effect on people... it doesn't matter what I say, people just do not believe me. It doesn't matter if I have sources, or research or resources supporting what I'm saying, people just disbelieve me.

It must be in my delivery... or my aura or something.

Before long I will lose all faith in humanity and turn to the dark side. I will put my evil powers of intellect to use in purely megolamanical pursuits!

Time to start recruiting henchmen!

lol nice plan yo. you could always start your own nation!

Me too! I recently realized that defending myself just makes it worse. My mom can believe what she wants about me, she doesn't listen to my attempts at standing up for myself against her accusations (wherein the only evidence supporting them comes from her own imagination or something that I did when I was half my current age)

I think it's the awkwardness of us aspies that make people not believe us. Maybe it's because our mannerisms and speech patterns aren't natural, and people who act unnatural are believed to be hiding something?

I would like to join the dark side XD

count me in, i will of course require a heavily armored vehicle with a minigun mounted on it

Titan's got dibs on the minigun...

A misfit nation with a love of BFG's, zombies and great taste in music... Really, what else do you need?

A flag XD Take some unconquered piece of land, stick a flag in it and you'd be our dictator/warlord/evil mastermind boss~

also a fortress will be needed, and a drawbridge with a moat

time to rob the rich!

GODZ I LOVE the way you guys think!

the fort needs to be a cross between Castlevania, preColumbian temple architecture with a dash of Escape from New York post Apocolyptica... with mini guns. And some not so miniguns. And a moat with crocodiles and alligator gar. And box jellyfish... just in case...

But a flag... hmmmmm... what says Misfit Nation best...

minnniiigunsss....

not so miniguns?
