How has WrongPlanet affected you?

Post Reply New Topic

my life would be a lot worse without some of the people i know now from here.
i adore these people (they know who they are). ^__^

Overall, very positively. Some groovy people on here who have become very important to me.

I do spend too much time faffing around on here though, when I could be doing other things.
But if I wasn't on here, I probably would find something else to distract me anyway. *chases butterfly*

Both. It's made me reaslise I don't really fit in with a lot of aspies (or NTs)

And It's been good to chat to people. Get to know people.

Both. Sometimes it's great, other times I feel rejected and so out of place.

Well, it's not the planet I'm looking for but there are some very nice humans on this planet.

WP totally ruined my life. Seriously tough, I have experienced no bad effects so far. As for positive effects, I think it was a positive influence when I first signed up and started posting, now it's more neutral.

When I first joined it was mostly neutral but this year it's made some really positive changes to my life. Thanks to this website I'm actually spending more time away from the internet! What with me meeting Rabbitears and all.

It has made me realize more fully that there will always be someone who has it worse than me.

Even romantically, I thought I was the farthest person behind ever, but I found that I wasn't quite the worst off.

It has taught me that I can always try to help by lending an ear and giving my advice.

Conversely, it made me realize that sometimes people don't want your advice and when that happens, you just gotta move on with life. It's likely nothing personal.

I've met a lot of wonderful people on here and they gave me hope for humanity...just because of the variance in the people, and the kindness received.

There should really be an option on here for both positive and negative effects.

As for me, it's been positive in the ways that it's helped me to learn more about myself and others who are either on the autistic spectrum or are at least pondrous about the possibility of it. And of course without this site I would never have met the person that has turned out to be the best thing to ever happen to me.

The one downside is that it's highly addictive. And there's far too often been the scenario of me having lots of important things to be doing in my life, but I haven't been able to peel myself away from the computer at all to sort them out, and whole days at a time can be pretty much wasted because I've been scrolling through the same old stale posts, just still staying here just in case something interesting happens and things liven up a bit. So I've often found myself frantically searching through an almost completely inactive website, just refreshing the same page over and over again for hours at a time, with the same result every time; nothing....

So I suppose everything has balanced out in terms of positivity and negativity, and I'm gradually starting to now need this place less and less. It's served it's purpose, but it's still nice to keep in contact with some people on here.

positively. I learn a lot here from reading threads and talking to people about my quirks and life.

Like a case of rabies, it turns me into a blathering idiot with drool running down my chin. I do think I am probably the weirdest of the weird. So that is something I've got going for me.

If you do not feel the affects have leaned one way or another, click the third option.

I keep getting those two mixed up lately.
