My real name is Alex. I'm a 20 year old female from Boise, Idaho. I've been an Idahoan my entire life. I have 3 siblings, my oldest sister is 31, my other sister is 30, and my brother is 16. My parents are alive and well, and still happily married. My childhood was turbulent because my parents were always letting people move in and out of our house, people who always took advantage of them financially and were verbally and emotionally abusive to us. Many of them also struggled with addictions and eating disorders. Worst of all is that these people were our own family members. Nowadays these same family members are either dead or less involved in our lives. They have tried to be friendly with me and their feelings get hurt when I reject them. They think I was too young/naive to remember what they did to us, but I have not forgotten.

I like to say that I got out of the shallow end of the gene pool, because I got diagnosed with nearly all of the mental illnesses that run in my family, including anxiety/panic disorder, OCD, depression and Asperger's Syndrome. My family members could always tell that there was something "not quite right" with me even when I was a toddler. I never made eye contact with people, and when I was 3 years old I completely stopped eating because a choking accident made me afraid of swallowing food. At age 7 I started having panic attacks and displaying symptoms of OCD, which only got worse over the years. By the time I was a teenager I could barely function at all and I was so miserable that I cried everyday and wanted to commit suicide. Then I got put on medication, and within several months I was cured of most of my mental illnesses. With my other mental illnesses under control, I was finally diagnosed with Asperger's at age 15.

I also have physical abnormalities, including Morton's Toe (very wide gap between first and second toes, second toes being longer than first toes) and all of my toes look broken and crooked. My hands are very small and slender and I have unusually long thumbs. As a child, I had a severe overbite and extra gum tissue between my two front teeth that made them flare out and have a huge gap between them. I had braces at age 11 or 12, which fixed my teeth in around 6 months, as well as surgery to remove the excess tissue between my two front teeth.

My school years were hell. Without going into details, I was bullied, humiliated and betrayed by my peers and my cries for help went ignored by the faculty. After I graduated 9th grade, I never went back.

My saving grace throughout all this turmoil was my imaginary world, which would eventually be named Aspergeria. Despite all of the hardships I endured throughout the years, I tend to look at my childhood through rose-tinted glasses due to all of the great and wonderful adventures I have had in Aspergeria with all of the fictional characters who have taken up residence there; my "imaginary friends". My imaginary friends have come from cartoons, anime and movies. As a child, I only had talking animals as friends, such as Balto, Simba and Hamtaro, as well as monsters such as Pokemon and Digimon. In my teen years I "graduated" to having anime characters in my imagination, which included the casts of Rurouni Kenshin, Inuyasha, Hellsing and Trinity Blood. As a young adult, I have "graduated" once more to movie characters, specifically those directed or produced by Tim Burton. This has even extended to films which had nothing to do with him directly, but appear to be inspired by his work.

My goal in life (or rather, hope for the future) is to live near the ocean in a guest house on the property of my parents' house. It would make me feel independent while allowing my parents the satisfaction of being able to watch over me (they are very overprotective). I would decorate my little guest house in a very goth fashion and own 3 to 5 cats.

Cool thread. Also, a WP guy from Ireland? Do you go to NUIG?

Okay...so.

My names Ryan, naturally enough. My childhood was okay, nothing too remarkable happened during it.

At thirteen I went to secondary school, and first year was great. I was a little s**t that f****d around with the staff for fun. Once I walked down the yard, with a noose in hand, just to see what would happen. I used to walk around the classroom at chat during class. I was still verging on a savant in Science.

After first year my life went to s**t, I became incredibly depressed for the next four years, verging on suicide several times. I'm still recovering, although I never really will be the same, intellectually or emotionally. To use the cliche, a big part of me is dead now, and although I can tolerate existence now, I'm waiting impatiently to die.

My relations with my family aren't so significant to me, to be honest. Neither are my relationships with anyone else. No one will ever understand me, so why bother?

What makes me me? I am extraordinarily rational (not implying I actually know anything...), and want nothing more than to know why I exist, what I am, and what happens when I die. I'm pretty afraid of being alive, and pretty afraid of dying. Everything else about me is superfluous.

Wow, it really takes a thread like this to make you sit down and realise how Nihilistic you have become It is fun to watch yourself thread along such a precarious path.

My name is Mathew. I was born in Arlington, Texas, on July 15th, 1991. My mother was in labor with me for three days, and she finally had to undergo a C-section in order to get me out.

I've lived in the same house all my life. Growing up, I played often with my half-brother and half-sister (who were from my father's previous marriage), and my cousin, who lived right next door to me. I was into things not typical for little boys. I liked Disney movies, especially the princess ones, played with dolls, and was into many other girly things. I may have gotten some of my feminine mannerisms from my half-sister, with whom I spent a lot of time as a child.

Because I wasn't speaking normally at the age of three, my mother had me enrolled into special ed classes at the local preschool. I had very pleasant experiences attending that school (other than getting into a small scuffle with another student). While attending preschool, I spent a lot of time with one of my cousins at my grandmother's house, where we would watch television and play on the Super Nintendo.

I continued to receive speech therapy until the third grade. However, when I was in the sixth grade, I was having anxiety over my sexuality, and became a little suicidal. I began to partake in cutting and other forms of self-injury. This freaked my parents out, and they had me go into a mental health clinic. In due time, I was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome in the spring of 2004.

Junior high was complete hell for me. If I could go to a professional hypnotherapist and have most of my memories of junior high erased, then I'd do so in a heartbeat.

High school was much better, even though I was still picked on every now and then because of my social awkwardness. I became active in many school organizations, and went on trips to Austin and San Antonio with the newspaper and yearbook staff. My journalim/yearbook teacher, who knew about my Asperger's, discovered this website and recommended it to me via e-mail.

After high school, I immediately began attending the local community college. My social life in college is monumentally better than it was in high school. I'm loving college so far!

At the moment, I am only taking the basics at college, and I have yet to decide on a major. I do know that, eventually, I would like to transfer to a university and live in a dorm. Dorm life has always sounded very fun to me. Afterward, I'd like to live in an apartment with a roommate or two.

I don't know exactly what I want to do in the future, but I do know that I'd like to do a lot of traveling. I want to go on a cross-country road trip across the United States and go backpacking across Europe or Japan. I don't want to stay stuck in the suburbs all my life.

That's about it, I guess.

No I am female, and I would love to go to NUIG only I dont meet the requirement of a third language


:edit: I took away my previous post as It was too long, It was too negative and I dont need a constant reminder of my past.
instead im going to post later a shorter and more positive post on who I am. but not know.
