I don't formulate words well in real life so I am rather mute(at least on the forums I can think things through better and collect my thoughts.) I would like to get to know the people I argue with and/or piss off in the PPR forums.

I would also like to meet musicians, artists, ethicists designers, theistic apologists, politicians, and concept/product developers or people in marketing. Oh... and interesting people with a story to tell, who want to understand themselves and the world better.

Nobody. You guys all suck. :thumbdown: Eat me!

Kidding. The whole reason I come here is that it's nice to have people like me in my life. In whatever fashion, even if it's just words on a computer screen. I'll take what I can get.

I just have no idea what any of us would possibly do if we were in the same room together. Sit in opposite ends of the room while fiddling with some object and not making eye contact? Put up with each other rambling about our current obsessions?

Why YES, that IS a three volume Sherlock Holmes collection. Let me tell you about it. Did you know that Professor Moriarty only appeared in one Holmes story, despite being commonly considered his arch nemesis? No thank you, I don't want to hear all about the mating habits of bees. That's boring. Here, let me explain to you the symbolism in Blade Runner.

I guess that's my definition of Asperger's: wanting human contact but having no idea what to do with it once you finally get it.

we discuss the continuing difficulties of living in a world we don't well fit in, often with great humor. it is so good to be around people like myself. i finally feel free and ennobled to just be me around these particular people. i am finally in companionship with my true peers. i finally get to be with others who have struggled at living just as i have. i just wish this could've happened 40 years sooner.

I'm too Aspie to make friends, so I go on ExtremeWrongPlanet.com.

Nah but, anyone. Someone who shares the same interests and music :) Also I would love to actually have a female friend :)

I might have ruined chances by saying a few things on here that I have regretted, and I am sorry. If there has been anything, please tell me! :roll:

No one as unbelievable as this sounds (on a aspie forum) I've got better things do do with my time than make myself interesting to you, or god forbid likable or heaven forbid loveable.




Why are people entertaining this thread it's akin to putting Billl Gates Steve Jobs and a PS3 in a room a CEOwho makes that suggestion would be laughed out of the boardroom quite possibly certified (if anybody cared about him) but nobody does , remember nobody cares about nobody FACT






Anyways can't you find your own way to entertain yourselves ? :wink:

And if you have friends your no better than they are .

I agree, You can have friends and still be an aspie, you can even be outgoing and be an aspie....aspie just means that you sometimes don't understand social stuff to a more or less degree!

But it does generally mean you have fewer friends...

But usually, those friends are closer.

Well perhaps I'm not the only one with this view , apparently one of the members retorted to them yet you still come here them :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: / :lol:

Seriously we all know nothing or not much can come out of it so why bother going to the effort ?

Are these outgoing aspies depressive I met one at a meet up and apparently his bi polar and apparently his "fun" and most defiantly from what I could gather outgoing , surely with these outgoing aspies, something ain't right ? (no offense)

Well actually Sunshower Pm'd returned me not once not twice but thrice which was nice of her :) and she even asked me if I attend aspie meat ups, may be she wants to be my friend ? though I'm not sure what a young , attractive educated outgoing women would want me in her company.

The thing is I'd find it unbelievable anyone would want me to be their friend except my pets of cause . :D

I think you need to work on your self esteem.

You could start by not pushing everyone in an entire community away in the way you do.

You don't seem like an entirely unlikable bloke to me, just someone who's probably been hurt a bit too much, and who projects their own experience onto an entire spectrum of people with varying abilities to function and form social relationships.

I think outgoing aspies are fine. I'm a little outgoing too. Not depressive though, in fact I'm extremely happy most days. It's been worth the effort to be even just a little outgoing.

Btw "definitely" and "defiantly" are two entirely different words. Not saying that to be hostile, just saying to correct.
