Nor can I. Not for social reasons. But for the sensory thins you get like tight hugs... Or getting laid on top of (non sexually)


I hope you can keep getting hugs. I want someone to hug me but there is no one to do it.

Problem is I don't get them either... Just from mom

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me

CLASSIC AUTISM

No, I like being by myself a lot and could probably go days without any human contact, but I'd lose my mind eventually.

I was thinking about this while watching I am Legend. I thought about it quite a lot, and even talked to my mother about the positives of having an entire city to yourself.


That would be awesome. I could walk around committing acts of arson just to watch the building burn over time, drive a fast car however I pleased, and drop certain objects off of skyscrapers to see how they looked hitting the ground(it would be interesting to push a car off the roof of a 50 story building). I could make whatever weapons I pleased and test them on buildings, and just explore every last building and area inside each building. I could even turn some of them into artwork; it would be interesting to find a skyscraper covered in glass windows and do pixel art on them with cans of spraypaint using the window washer. Oh, and a library all to myself! I'd be entertained for years.

The closest I'll probably ever get to that dream without ruining a ghost town with historic value would be an abandoned warehouse, and it just wouldn't compare.

I want to see I am Legend because I liked The Omega Man. Post apocalyptic science fiction is an obsession.

When I was young I always wanted to live in a mall all by myself. I couldn't go to one without thinking about how it would be like empty.


Are you a fan of Dawn of the Dead by chance? :lol:

You have...quite an imagination.

have you ever watched the Mad Max series (I think there are three)?

I've never watched it. Is it a zombie movie? I don't find those particulary appealing. Few zombie movies are good ones, IMO.

That's odd...I always said that I could live on a deserted island by myself, you know, no major predators, easy to eat finding food and water. Not to hot either. Anyways, I could do it.

No criticism. No mockery. No drama. No hate. No envy. No rivalry.


Living away from other human beings is such a bargain discussing it is a moot point.


No. Sometimes what you give up is more than what you get in return. Sometimes I want the whole world to shut up and leave me alone, but eventually I always want it back.
