How Do you See the Dead?

Post Reply New Topic

Or can you?

I've been dead for decades now and no one sees me. Smiling, asking people how they are, caring about how they are. Time to put a knife through my eye. That's how you kill the dead.
You can prop them up on pills and weed or whatever, but the dead see what's real. Nobody to hear you tell them though. No friends here. No friends anywhere. The world is so full of them. Preying on those who still have something to give. This existence is Hell. Some people embrace it, but I can't.

You've had to deal with large changes recently, its got to be impacting on you? I had a tiny change to deal with this morning and I barely coped with it.

Ann seems to be really depressed all of a sudden. All she's said is that her roommate/apartment sharing situation is going badly. Ann, if you give us something concrete about what's going on in your life, we can offer suggestions.

Oh Ann!

What's causing all this?

“The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space.” -Italo Calvino

It is. But I'm adsjusting.


I wouldn't say badly. I do feel a great loss of independence though. I will adjust. Fortunately my roommate is a nice person.


Too much change and uncertainty ... and loneliness.


Good advice.

Right now I feel that WrongPlanet is the inferno. I should probably stop participating here as it is actually damaging my mental health. There is a tenor of tattling and bullying that is being actively encouraged. This site is not a friendly place for women right now (unless you tow the "must protect fragile autistic men" line.) I've never been good at towing the line. Now it's a private site, so if that's how Alex and the mods want to play it, that's their business. It's just hard for me because I have found a lot of support here and I hate to see this turn. It used to be the feminists who were wreaking havoc, but now the pendulum has swung too far the other way. It is clear the target demographic is male autistics. But they could at least try to reach a balance between the two sides. Why the blatant hatred towards women and the ganging up on women in Love & Dating goes unchallenged baffles me. It is disheartening.

I guess I am sad because this site is no longer a safe place for me.

Try more weed.

Always good advise.
Just can't lay my hands on any right now.

Hopefully I don't

If you can't find it, look harder.

It doesn't just grow on trees you know ..... oh, wait ....

well... I was upset about that too, the same happening...again.

I personally stay FAR away from Love and Dating, it's the sewer of WP. At least PPR people have opinions, L&D is just guys whining that they can't get laid. I don't think that the mess in L&D is oozing out to the rest of WP, at least not yet. Here in The Haven, a member can get banned if he mocks or attacks you.

Guys in L&D trusts PUA dating articles they read on the internet too much.

We really need to get that subforum hiding option installed

I'm not sure I understand ... are you referring to the L&D section?


I think it is sad that the views being expressed in L&D are being supported. Surely autistic guys can behave better than that.


They treat dating like it's shopping. It disgusts me.

Every time I enter L&D. It's like reading the thoughts of an insect for some people and it definitely can't be chalked up to their ASD. You'd think they were sociopaths, but I think it's just persisting "guy culture" from the last century.
