Does anyone else feel like leaving WP sometimes?

Post Reply New Topic

Not sure i'll actually leave, but I think its time for me to start weening myself off! I feel like i've said most of what I wanna say. I got a new computer today. I didn't bother spending loads, cause I don't wanna end up on here everyday. I kinda feel like I wanna get back to real life soon, instead of just moping around and writing. I've started to pick my sports up again, the tide is turning. Thanks everyone its been fun. Time to start cutting down in the next week or so. I'm fed up of talking about what I wanna do, its time to shake myself and start changing.

I would like to release myself from my long-time fixation on something I am not even diagnosed with....and computers in general...I would like a more healthy..detached relationship with them....I could be using all this time much more productivly....

I feel like I don't fit in because I have a plan for my life that doesn't involve sitting at home and playing video games.

Some people are naturally just more mature than others, though, and it's not an AS thing, most neurotypicals are the same way. I'm kinda like you in that sense, I've always been a bit more practical and career-minded in life than my peers.

I'm finding it very boring here lately. Losta new members seem to be nutters and ranters rather than autistic.

dull stuff.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I haven't been posting much because of all the people on WP who have depression, not to mention those who rant and rave like there's no tomorrow. I don't know how to communicate to the depressed. Every time I try to help them, they either ignore me or they fight with me. I know that I will definitely not specialize in depression as I start my Psychology major. Autism is my specialty!

I've always been a rather passive member who never starts posts, so "leaving" WP would be a rather abstract concept for me since I feel like I was hardly here. I've never felt like I was making some sort of commitment. I frequent the Transfandom boards and other stuff.

I'm mostly a lurker, but if you were able to delete your username I would have done it a while ago to prevent myself spending too much time here.

I'm starting classes for my Psychology major this semester, so I'll hopefully be too occupied to spend too much time on the internet. I never know what to say to depressed people either.

Good for you, ben. Action is always better than talk.

I found some of the comments rather mean though!

To those of you that don't like the people who make long ranty posts and are depressed - isn't this forum for everyone? You can be depressed or verbose and still on the autism spectrum.

Tim, that seemed sort of mean coming from you. You are obviously a high functioning Aspie and it's great that you have goals, but I'm sure that not everyone here wants to "sit around and play video games all day".

I suspect that I am NOT autistic and am at worst a high-functioning Aspie, but I struggle with a lot of issues that people with autism disorders do. I make long winded posts and suffer from depression.....am I unwelcome here?

I was upset that I haven't made very many friends here, and am worried that there is somewhat of a social hierarchy on here. And it seems like the mature, goal-oriented people on here are at the bottom.

I can understand that. I have definitely noticed some people don't like their ideas challenged, and don't want to seem to make any progress to get better. I find that regrettable, but what can you do?

I don't really expect to make any friends here, though it would be nice. I am really being myself here, and being myself rarely makes me any friends. Which I suppose is why I need to be here at all.

I consider this place more of a place to put my thoughts into words and hope that they might help somebody, or something someone else wrote may help me.

I'm in the same position as Tim Tex. I haven't made many friends here lately, either. I just don't know how to talk to the depressed. Asperger Syndrome and Depression are two different things. I don't really know if it's the depression talking or the Aspie. Plus, when I try to give advice to somebody, they fight me or ignore me. I don't know people here anymore!

Well, I go to work every weekday and have a family.

Tim, I don't understand your post about friends - can't figure out what it means - sorry. Obviously WP people are in different countries so they often can't meet up - what exactly were you expecting?

I came here with no expectations. I'm glad to find so many people who think differently, even if not exactly like me. So many here can understand my sensory difficulties, my autistic way of thinking, what it's like to have children with autism and so on. There are times when I spend a good deal of time here. Right now it's winter. I live in the snow belt, which is a living hell. This is all I've got. In the summer, you'll see a LOT less of me, but I'll still be here. Do I think about leaving? The thought doesn't cross my mind. Spending less time here? Sure. But the computer is one of my special interests. When I have free time, I gravitate to the internet.

I'm not online on WP very often, but I am on the computer an awful lot, which I'm been tring to fix for a long time. No, I never felt like leaving WP, don't see a reason to...

Well, if it's a friend you want I would be more than happy to discuss animated sitcoms and the sciences (geology included) with you. You can PM me if you want.
