Like I said, you people are absolutely worthless.

I don't know what twisted sense of logic you all follow, but it needs to end.

For instance, there is a world of a difference between loving thy enemy and straight up being a traitor.

When this group gets attacked, they don't take crap.
They fight back until they're given a just apology and what is wrong is corrected again.

When this group is lied about, they don't take crap either.
In fact, they work nonstop to expose those lies and to tell the truth about themselves, like real humans.

Unlike what some other people may believe, they fight to protect and not to destroy.

Go ahead and call them defensive or paranoid, but they know how to stand up for themselves.

You?
You guys roll over!

You people put on a mask and let the other side have their way with you!

You people need to step up and make it clear that these people have no right to mess with you.
They never had and they never will.

You people have allowed a whole millennium's worth of lies to blind you and keep you in a place that is not meant for you.

Wake up and take your true place!

we supposedly are gonna support one another, but we certainly don't.

I was supposed to have movie night with my boyfriend last night, but he showed up late, drunk, and then passed out. Apparently his coworkers got him drunk, despite the fact that he's 28 years old. I was happy he was having such a good time with people at his new job until this.

Tonight we'll have to have a talk, and this has to never, ever happen again if things are to continue. I never want him coming to me drunk again or at a bar when he has plans with me later.

Show up late... it happens.
Show up drunk... you're downright disrespectful.
Show up drunk and pass out... which is more important to you, your coworkers or your significant other?
Drink too much at the urging of other people when you have plans with someone later... are you becoming an alcoholic?

Had a minutes long discussion with my mother today about my need for time to myself. I've been living with her for over 5 years now -- I had some seriously gnarly financial problems that forced the issue. It's benefitting us both that I live here. But because of differing goals and needs, we have been spending parts of the last two years remodeling a workshop on the property into a cottage for me. It's almost finished. And it's ALREADY a problem, and I haven't even moved in yet.

To begin with, every time I go over there to unpack and set up some things, she follows me. I'm trying to get things done and she's sitting right there, saying things like "Aren't you going to work? Don't let me stop you. Why are you looking through that magazine when you have so much to do? Where are you going to hang that picture? What have you decided about the shelving in your kitchen? That music is kind of loud. Why not turn it down so we can talk. If you get bored with this, I have some other things you could be doing" It goes on and on....

Today, she started talking about how once the place gets finished, people are going to want to come over to see it. I told her that's fine, but I'm not planning on having anybody over otherwise. I told her that the place is going to be like a sanctuary for me -- a place where I don't have to worry about whether I'm behaving properly or whether people are off put by something I've done or said or feeling anxious because I don't know what expected of me, a place where I can listen to my own music, eat my own food, sleep or not sleep however long I want to, where I can watch movies or read or whatever, in my own time and own schedule. Know what she said?

'You're just going to sit over here all the time by yourself? And never have anybody over? You're just going to become a hermit? That's CRAZY!"

Yep. She called my behavior "crazy". After all she and I have talked about, after all she has learned about ASD from me, her own research, and the doctor handling my diagnosis -- she still doesn't get that I need time to be alone, recharge and be able to relax and be myself, without any judgment from anyone. Frickin' amazing...

She apparently believes that once I got my own place again -- I lived alone for most of 22 years before I moved back home -- I'll suddenly decide to become a party animal and a social butterfly. I never did that before. Why would I start now? I lived a mostly solitary life before (with the exception of going to work, having a part-time boyfriend, and one good friend), and was happy with it. She doesn't understand how I don't seem to want any friends. I told her that I wanted friends for years, and few took the bait, so I've become content to be alone. I told her that no one seems interested in anything I like anyway (I live in a very small town in SE Texas, and if you don't hunt, fish, go to church or get wasted on some mood-altering substance, you don't fit in). So THEN she starts ragging on me about how she's told me to get involved with local groups with the same interests as me and I refused. It's not a case of refusing -- it's a case of being uncomfortable with the idea of walking alone into an already-established group. THEN she suggests that I start a Asperger's group here. Knowing the area we live in, I would bet $100 there aren't a dozen people within a 50-mile radius who even know what AS is, let alone admit to having it.

I don't know what to do now. Things are going down now just like I figured. I'll never get the time to myself I so desperately need. But if I tell her that, it will hurt her feelings, which will upset me as well. She's (not) getting over a painful breakup, and I think she's using me as a crutch. If I cut her loose, she will be heartbroken. But I just can't allow her to think my behavior is "crazy" just because it's different from hers. I've already been down this road with my brother, who's anxious for me to get my papers to show that I'm officially crazy (I posted about that earlier). I love my family, but I wish they would either accept me or leave me be.

Thanks for the rant space....

christian bashers

Are you not different then nt? do we not as apsies generally want to be accepted and not hated. yet when it comes to christians being different then you , you treat them different and bash them. I don't get this, how can one want openness for aspies, gays, races, women, but then do what they are against to Christians or other regions. I am open minded and kind to all people regardless of who they are or what they think and believe. I may disagree with people on somethings, I might argue about it, but i don't bash them I don't hate them, I don't want to convert them to my thoughts.

I don't want to argue, just frustrated.

I hate any kind of bashes, but it does seem most aspie are atheist, which is find, but I can't understand or take the attacks. I don't get being so hurtful to others just cause they disagree.

why can't they just be like hmm, they don't believe in all science, and i think they wrong. oh well, move on that's their choice.

I hate smoking and reptiles. I don't try attack smokers and tell them they should stop and I won't stop bugging them til they do. I say i don't like smoking please don't smoke around me other wise whatever.

I have mostly atheist friends, and they never attack religion unless someone pushes it on them. I haven't met other Religious people that push either, be them Jewish, Islamic, catholic. etc. I have heard of some that push it or think they have to convert others, but by far, I've seen way more enlightened atheist that push other people to think their way. To convert them to atheism, then claim others are bad to convert to religion.

that's what you are doing trying to forcefully convert people to your ideals cause only your ideals can be right. to be honest by how some atheist go on about it (not so much here) I fear some kind of religious genocide purging in the future as part of the follow science or die plan.

if you want to believe in evolution and big bang go ahead I don't want any part of it.

I believe in god and i believe in most science, gravity, how old the earth is, life on other planets etc.

Thats my rant and frustration. I just wish more people could just live and let live.

I guess repeatedly asking you not to forward me emails didn't get the point across that I don't want you to forward me any emails? It really bothers me that you consider the stupid content of these asinine emails more important than my simple request.

Finding it difficult to understand when I get angry at your hateful, ignorant politics? Well, if you can't understand why I get angry at your refusal to comply with the simple request above, then I guess you just don't understand much of anything any more.

I work at Walmart Part time as a Cashier and today I was told by a CSS that I could not use the restroom because there was no one to take over for me. I told her I had not had a break and was scheduled to leave in 30 min. I really had to go to the restroom or I was going to urinate on my self and I would have to leave for the day if this where to happen. She said sorry hun you will have to wait I don't know what else to do. I went back to my area and then a customer walked up to me and said that there are laws against what she said to me. Now another CSS that was off the clock heard what the woman said and called the Assistant Manager. She came over and relieved me and told me to go to break. I did and came back and she said I could go home if I wanted to because of what happened to me. So that's what I did..... How can someone stand face to face with someone and tell them they can not use the restroom? I can understand if I were in a car or in a place where the restroom was closed or full but to be told by someone that is in charge of your break times and is not able to manage things well enough to allow staff restroom breaks. I'm so pissed OFF!

I'm severely depressed.
tortured. abused.
So many horrible things have happened to me the past few months (robbery along with a violent rape) and I've been hanging in there. I went to the hospital after I was raped and the doctors and police treated me like i was a piece of crap, like a piece of evidence. I had fought for my life and then I try to get help and then I realize how MESSED up the state that I live in treats rape victims. I didnt have health insurance at the time, so I'm stuck paying a huge hospital bill that has put me deep into more dept. I have to pay for treatment to a crime that was committed upon me. It is the only crime where the victim is actually responsible for the bills of the rape kit, hospital visit.
Unfortunately, I don't have a safety net. I have no family that cares to listen. I have been fighting through this all on my own.
Nervous to be homeless. Don't know how to fix my life. Don't want to get up to go to work in the morning. I can't sleep. Nothing helps. Can't afford a psychologist. I just need someone to talk to.
I am just new to this awareness of the aspergers thing, as well.

Too much happening at once... Only one messed up head to take care of these massive issues.

I used to come to Wrongplanet to escape the s**t in the rest of my life, because this was one of the few places I could be myself with like-minded people, who could understand my experiences and point of view, and neuorological quirks. But lately Wrongplanet has become the Wrongplanet, because you can't fart without some wet behind the ears pipsqueak accusing you of sh*****g yourself. You can't vent, or ask for help, or anything because certain people forget this is a support site for aspies and heaven forbid someone might mention that we are different from neurotypicals: and this causes frustration , pain and outright discrimination to aspies. Because we have to accommodate these wonderful normal people who have so much theory of mind and empathy that they refuse to accommodate us.

I have a bad habit of having friends-with-benefits and starting to want a real relationship with them. It's getting quite distressing.

I think we're getting a lot closer, but I don't think she's nearly ready for me to ask for a proper relationship. There are a few other factors that would make it very difficult, too, but... eh. I don't know.

This keeps happening, and I'm not about to do anything to prevent it, because I'm a moron.

RULES FOR HOW TO BEHAVE IN LINE AT THE GROCERY STORE

I'm tired of being treated like a turd on your shoe --

1) Get off your phone. Unless someone is bleeding, burning or drowning at your house, your phone call can wait the two minutes it will take for me to ring up your purchases and complete your transaction. In 5 years of cashier work, having to talk through 100s of phone calls, I have only heard ONE phone call that sounded like it couldn't wait. It was a doctor giving instructions for a patient.

2) Please have your card, money or check ready to be presented when I give you your total. It's inconsiderate for others in line to have to wait on you because you had your head up your butt and forgot you needed to pay for your items. Oh, and please make sure you have payment BEFORE you get in line. Every day I have to wait on people because they left their wallet, card or checkbook in the car, or even worse, at home. And BRING YOUR GLASSES if you're going to need to read the card machine to complete your transaction.

3) Don't tell me the prices. I know you're trying to help, but it doesn't. Everything is on a bar-code system and has already been loaded into the computer. I don't put in prices, I merely scan the item.

4) Get off your phone, PLEASE.

5) If you see something ring up incorrectly, please calmly let me know and I'll do everything I can to rectify it. Do not take it personally. The store is NOT trying to rip you off. What likely happened was that it was either 1) entered incorrectly into the computer, or 2) the sale sign wasn't removed when the sale was over. We are human. Humans make mistakes. Deal with it.

6) Please be sure to read all ads and sale papers closely. If Hellman's Mayonnaise is on sale for $2.99, you can't substitute Kraft just because it's the one you picked up first. Some items have purchase limits (must buy 3 to get the sale price) or minimum purchase ($10 or $20). We're not going to let you slide on that just because you only need one box of detergent instead of two.

7) Coupons are for specific items for a reason. We WILL NOT substitute another brand just because you don't like the brand on the coupon. And the coupon will not work if you didn't buy the product in question. We can't fake it and give it to you anyway.

8.) GET.OFF.YOUR.PHONE.

9) If you are expecting a Senior Citizen discount, tell me ahead of time. Don't make me guess if you're over 62. I won't, and you won't get your discount.

10) If you pick up an item and then later decide you don't want it, don't just sit it down in some random spot in the store. Please put it back where you got it -- not NEARBY where you got it, WHERE you got it. If it's too far for you to go back, please give it to me and I'll make sure it's put back in the right place. We do not consider it job security to pick up after you.

11) Don't get mad when I ask for ID when you write a check. I'm not accusing you of anything (What...you got a guilty conscience?) It's to protect you. Or maybe you'd rather we not check IDs and someone who's not you goes around writing checks for cash at stores around town -- on your account. And it's not helpful for you to merely write your driver's license number on your check. The only reason we write the number on the check to begin with is to prove to the management that we did indeed look at the ID. We don't use that number for any other reason.

12) GET OFF YOUR G*DD*MN PHONE!! !

I keep having horrible, illogical, terrifying thoughts this morning, and I feel unhappy about my inability to make myself stop thinking that way. It probably comes from getting poor nutrition, insufficient exercise, and not enough sleep over the past few days. I set myself up to have this freak-out, but of course I didn't see it that way at the time..

Sounds like a panic attack to me. I have them all the time. And you're right -- not taking care of yourself can bring them on, especially lack of sleep. It is very difficult to get past the disruptive thoughts once they get started. A couple of things to do that might help -- deep slow concentrated breathing, and directed your thoughts elsewhere -- special interest or whatever. Dwelling on it makes it worse, so you need to break that thought thread.

F___ people, and f_#_ this world. I wish I could save my kids at least, but doesn't look like it.

I feel like i'll never be able to socialize. it's like life is some...confusing, nonsensical party and all I can do is watch. I don't want to be bitter. but nor do I want to attend the party. it's weird in there. in those social circles. social games.
so I stand on the outside and sometimes I get really lonely, and I just started crying but I can't seem to explain why to people. but none of it makes SENSE. where do these things come from that people say and joke about and initiate between each other? why do they do it? what is that weird spark within them that makes it natural and possible? I don't have it. i'm sad because I just watch. I try to crack a smile sometimes and be part of things but it's never enough. "You're so quiet, Sarah." I know.
