the pain runs deep

Post Reply New Topic

Its sad because some of this is all a lie. He was not in a relationship. He was obsessed with this girl and she was a friend only. He went to one psychiatrist for figuring out why he lies all the time. Which was a waste of his money because the guy told him he lies to impress people. Well damn I couldve told him that. The second doctor told him he most likely has aspergers or high functioning autism. He never saw that doc again. The third doctor didnt question aspergers or anything. All he did was give him some intellectual tests to test his IQ. His IQ was good. So, how does all that pertain to aspergers??? None of it. Telling him he has an average or above average IQ only suggests that he might actually have aspergers. Because I was told alot of people on the spectrum have high IQ's. After that, he never went to try an get a diagnosis from anyone. He just came home to tell everyone he was smart at some tests. But what I dont get is the tests he was given was almost elementary level. I was in the room, so idk maybe it just seemed easy to ME. But either way, he has had people encourage him to seek some kind of treatment. He has only done what I just wrote. One minute he says he has aspergers, the next he does not know. He has more than enough qualities to show he has aspergers, but he still wont admit it. Regardless of a label put on him, he has not been proactive about seeking help. He already knows he needs help for some certain things, but he would rather go do fun stuff than face reality. His mom has not been there for him, she is bipolar and she told him that his dad is a schizophrenic. His two brothers have mental conditions that left one brother living in a hospital most his life and the other in a halfway home. They are adults now and need supervision. His mom ignored the fact that OP is different. He went to therapy as a kid for depression for being picked on up to highschool. Then he dropped out of highschool. He then sat in his room for 10 years playing video games. He admits to being socially awkward and walking funny. He admits to lacking common sense. He is so naive its scary. He has lived with his sister his whole life and now at age 29 he is on his own. It went bad since living on his own. He is homeless right now. I worry for him. He almost lives in a fantasy world. Its hard to continue to be a friend to you OP if you continue to ignore that you need some help with things. I have done my part. But if you are stubborn, then nobody can help you. Editing the messages you posted, and not sharing ALL the messages is just another sign that you want pity from this website. You need to stop seeking pity. You are 29 and you still call your mom "mommies" when you talk to her and you tell her made up stories so she will pity you and praise you. You leave out major facts all the time. Because you never want anyone to think you were being decietful. Trust me, there is soooo much more to this story with OP and his fake "girlfriend". She was a friend and tried to help him like others have. He was obsessive and hurt her alot. She was frustrated at the very end. So what you read on here is the final straw. The end to everything OP has done. It would be interesting to actually see what he has said and done to his friend he calls "girlfriend". But instead we'll just let the bashing go on about how his friend is horrible and blah blah blah. Ive learned alot that people with aspergers only see what they want to see. So seeing only that this is a mean girl is of course the only thing you see. God forbid OP has put her through hell and hurt her, but none of you would know that. Because you cannot read between the lines. It might of been easier for you all to see that if OP had the guts to show what he has done lol. But I am done here. I dont like seeing friends decieve eachother.

You need to stop talking about him in public like this. If there's anyone who lacks social skills, it's someone who thinks it's A-OK to put someone down repeatedly in front of hundreds of people and then claim it's for his own good.

Elora, take it to PM, or leave. This is absolutely unacceptable behavior.

Hmm isnt posting personal texts and emails between two people putting it out in the open??? That is his friend he is talking about in PUBLIC. Showing her messges to the public. I will have to let her know. So to me that is considered inappropriate.
If he didnt want his business out in the open, he shouldnt post some of his business and another person's business on here for everyone to see. The only thing is he left out all the stuff HE has done.

I also know op I can honestly say this isnt the whole story ,I personally know that he has done some things to this girl that has hurt and betrayed this girl,and no she was never his girlfriend..She made it clear they were just friends. Of course he would not want anyone to know what he has done.Well I guess he got what he was looking for with all these replies.

Wow. With friends like this, the OP sure doesn't need enemies.

I think he wants enemies by the way he treats his friends and then posts all thier private messages on the web. I don't put up with my friends posting things on here about other friends and not posting the WHOLE story. He only posts what he wants people to see. It's sad. So yeah, I will defend people who deserve it. But I won't defend OP when all he wants is pity off of this website. If only I posted all the things he has done to hurt his so called close friends. But nah, I will be more civil than that.

I've been watching this thread for a while, and I have to admit, I've been in several minds whether to post. Rather than having yet another person saying "OP, run away from these people", I tried to get my BF to comment (as someone who has a relationship with a person with mental health issues), but he said the entire thing was too confusing . But I do feel compelled to say something, so I'm sorry in advance if this becomes quite a long post - I'm just thinking out loud.

1. The OP has not reappeared. Why? I can guess at a few reasons: either he's watching and enjoying the support, or he's afraid of confronting Elora et al on a place he felt safe, or he IS Elora et al, reinforcing a pity party. Cynical? Yes, but I've had it happen on another web forum, although that person went far enough to 'die' and be mourned by 'friends' before eventually being found out. My curiosity is raised by how similar Elora, rlg and OP's writing style is, that's all. So I'm taking the OP as an individual with a pinch of salt (in a friendly manner) . But in theory, let's call them indivuduals, since it's easier to talk about.

2. I am extremely concerned by the amount of anger displayed towards the OP by his friends.

3. So far, there have been 3 people post, the OP, Elora and RLG (and the disputed girlfriend has been quoted). They all seem to be in their late 20's. But what troubles me is the level of intolerance and immaturity displayed with each individual. I would be less surprised if they were in their teens, let's put it that way, since that seems to be the level they're functioning on. I'm not intending that as an insult - it's just a 37 yr old's observation on their behaviour. We all change over time.

4. Whilst coming to terms with my mental health issues, I admit that I've done some pretty dumb stuff, and my friends have been hurt by some of the things I've done. I also have a friend with mental health difficulties who is currently in the process of losing our friends due to his actions (way too complicated to relate here). But our friends allowed me back, and they will allow him back too when he's stopped being an ass. Friendship is an organic thing - it grows when fed and withers when starved or poisoned. But it's up to you to decide what type of organism your friendship is - indestructible mint or blight ridden tomatoes (some bitterness towards my greenhouse there, I admit). Basically, friends forgive. People who hold grudges are not friends. Simplistic, but true.

5. I admit, I think Elora, RLG and the girl are toxic for the OP. Not because all people with mental health issues are innocent and deliberately hurt by the evil NT's, since he has obviously caused a lot of anger amongst them, so he's obviously done some things badly. But more because of their rigidity, ingrained bigotry towards those with mental health problems and impatience. As Calista said, trying to make them see how wrong their attitudes are is like banging our heads against a wall. Some people are just very sure of their beliefs, regardless of evidence to the contrary, or social pressure to conform. For example, my uncle believes that Harry Potter is the spawn of the devil because he's a wizard. He's not mentally ill, he's just very, very easily led.

6. Let's talk mental health. No one wakes up one morning and decides that it would be a fantastic idea to have a mental illness or disability. No one. Unfortunately, it's hard to understand for people without the problem, because they have no experience of it, and it looks like the person involved is just being self-serving. This attitude is strongly reinforced by the media, ineffective governmental assistance and ingrained social beliefs. Practically speaking, why would someone enjoy hearing voices telling them to kill? Or having every noise shriek through their head like nails on a blackboard? Or having Depression so crushing that all they can think of to relieve the agony is death? Mental issues are not enjoyable, in part due to the astonishingly ignorant attitudes of society. Most of us try and ignore them, and when that doesn't work, we try to fix them. But medical assistance for the mentally disabled is still barely a notch above trepanning. Physically, doctors can cure many things, but the brain is still a great unexplored continent, regardless of the work of Freud, etc. Saying "Try harder and then you'll get better" is idiotic, not to mention bigoted, and you'll probably find that everyone on here has had that little gem quoted to them by people who don't have a clue what they're talking about. "Smile, it's not that bad" is also a favourite. You can't make people get better from a disability or illness simply by telling them to pull their socks up! It's the equivelent of telling someone with HIV or Cancer that they're not trying hard enough to get better.

Anyway, I've made this post far too long already. Please, think about this before you post again and look at your behaviour and actions from the point of view of the OP. How are you making him feel? Really.

I strongly advise that private matters be kept to private spheres.

I havnt said OP's real name, or location of where he lives. He is still anonymous. Just like all the PERSONAL emails and texts he posted on here for everyone to see is anonymous. So thank you for the concern, but its not needed.
