Lessons learned from WrongPlanet

Post Reply New Topic

These are the three lessons, that I've learned from WrongPlanet.

1. Not to post about my special interest, in every single post, that I make, during my waking hours.

2. Talk about a variety of subjects, and show an interest in every thread that pops up, and connect with all of the members.

3. Not to post in the games forum to get to 40000 posts, faster, but I can go there for a half an hour, three times a day, to have fun.

What are the most important lessons, that you've learned, so far?

Nothing.

Don't date here

1. read and respond to what other people say, rather than just posting my own view (then being surprised when no one reads or responds to it )

2. discuss and educate people about my special interest in every single post as they are sure to be appreciative...er...I mean this ----->"not to post about my special interest, in every single post, that I make, during my waking hours"

3. keep responses short, if I won't read a 3 page monograph then the odds are good that other people won't either.

Don't say anything that's even a tiny bit leaning towards positive about autism speaks, the whole site will savage you. I have not done this, but I'm sure this has happened before.

If you don't want to hear people bitched about or this site bitched about, don't join more obscure AS forums. I do really like smaller forums myself, but I'm just warning the rest of you.

Don't talk about yourself in the advice threads, it's the OP that needs help and I don't think your problems are going to solve there's. I make this mistake non stop.

My English is better and better since I registered here

that having no personality is not something that will engage other people.
that i have no chance of swimming up from my hole to where the big fish swim.
that being very affected by autism precludes me from mainstream discussion.
that most people at a party are "out the back" in pm land, and i have no idea what goes on behind the scenes.

that i am incapable of understanding what everyone else finds easy to understand and reply to.

that i am vastly more closed off and isolated than others who share my diagnosis.

that i am a person who will talk to a brick wall because i have no one else to talk to.

that i understand that other people are dancing to a tune that i can not hear.

that physically beautiful people who post pictures of themselves have the most enlightening things to say, and therefore are the ones that are draped in attention.

that a "gorgeous" girl who says "omg" is talking about the very fabric of existence that none of you will fail to appreciate.

that showboats have the most passengers.

that asperger people are just like NT's in every way.

that what i say that is ignored, if repeated by a popular person sometime later will finally make sense and receive many replies.

that you have to be "hip" to be worthy of attention.

that i am glad i have fallen into a crack in the footpath where no ones soles can tread on me.

that i do not care if there is a tornado on the other side of the world.

that the rush of human desires and urgencies blows over my head.

yeah whatever, i am in a strange mood and off i go to where no one will care nor notice.

privacy is great, but eternal privacy is useless.
there are three people here who reply to me and i like that and it will do.

my best friend on WP does not even post here.
back to my magnetic lock i go
hi ho hi ho hi ho.

OMG this, definitely is.

yes i think so. i hope you are not making fun of me because you wrote "omg" (which i wrote in my post about).
i believe you are not making fun of me and i trust you.
my batteries are flat.
good ni.........

That's a good - and truthful - rhyme about Aut$m $peak$, did you make that up?

That I'm reclusive, even for a person with Asperger's.
I learned how many of the other symptoms I don't have so much on the AS criterion list manifest in the real world.
That I can't post without editing obsessively.
And some minor things.

Edit:b9's list is awesome and I agree with almost all of it.

I agree with Darkword's edit.

I've also learned not to date on WrongPlanet, as well.

Why?
