Feeling Ovewhelmed and Somewhat Lazy

Post Reply New Topic

I find alot of stuff just overwhelming, and sometimes I just feel like doing absolutely nothing. Then I think oh I'm lazy, or now I'm just going to get even more overweight. It's like, I can never just be. I can when I'm distracted by a video game, but there the key word is distracted.

People are like "Wow you know so much about TV, you must watch alot", which by some accounts is people's way of saying you're lazy..or I could just be paranoid about that. It's like if the TV isn't on I'll just be sitting around thinking myself to death.

I do get associations to things, but most of the time they're helpful. Like I can associate a certain situation to one I saw on TV. I wonder if there ever was a study done on how much someone with Asperger's Syndrome, could learn about social cues from watching TV?

I think the only thing that really distracts me from all else, aside from the video games, is good looking guys.

I do that all the time.

I just don't do anything. Either sit and stare at nothing or lie on my bed and stare at nothing.

Even when i'm supposed to be doing an assignment and abolutley nothing else is there to distract me I find I spend 80% of the time sitting and staring at nothing.

The only thing that really distracts me nowdays is somthing I really enjoy. I often go into "The zone" when playing video games as they're probably ones i've beaten heaps.

Good looking guys don't distract me at all, unless it's someone i'm infatuated with for some reason.

I watch too much t.v. too according to everyone else. I could say line for line a lot commercials currently playing. I do it because I have only one friend to talk to and if I dont watch tv or play videogames I think. I just stare blankly and think about everything. I analyze everyone and every situation around. I often make myself depressed doing this so I try not to. Too many bad things that outweigh the good.

I once spent over an hour just thinking about my friends name. I can spend hours thinking about our fiive minute concersation from the day before.

I very rarely watch tv but I still feel lazy a lot of the time- I feel guilty for needing some quiet time on my own and I feel bad that I'm not up and about doing stuff rather than sitting sewing/crocheting, etc.

I too find that if I don't find something to occupy my mind I think too much and it drives me insane.

I've been feeling this way a lot lately. Sometimes I'm so utterly lacking in energy that I just want to lie down and nap for several hours on end-- and it's not for want of sleep.

yah, im the same way, ive seen every episode of family guy at least 10 times. I spend most of my time in my room watching tv, using the computer, playing videogames or lying in bed thinking about stuff. II thought most people with aspergers didnt do stuff like that, I feel less depressed now, lol

Sometimes I find myself sitting and staring at the TV for ages without actually watching it.

I get very tired and overwhelmed easily, as well. It is probably partially due to my sleeping difficulties, and partially because, well, little things can stress me out or set me on edge. I get frustrated with this, because I want to be able to work harder or get more done, and I can't seem to push myself as far as many other people here can. Often, I just end up falling asleep or too brain dead to do anything.

As for the TV watching, I don't have TV now, but I have a tendency to become obsessed with certain shows or animes. The current one is Neon Genesis Evangelion, and I often find that if I'm not watching it I'm thinking about it, or comparing things from my class readings to it, instead of the films we are watching for class. I also watch lots of music videos from it and read fanfics (and even wrote one, with a group of people). If I had more money, I imagine I'd be collecting more merchandise, as well.

I tend to relate the characters to people I know, which helps me understand them and my relationship with them better. For example, I am Rei, and my best friend is Shinji, and the friend that I don't always get on with too well because she's loud and unpredictable is like Asuka. My father is a bit like Gendo, and my mother, a lot like Yui.

I've also been watching a lot of Monk lately, though it hasn't really developped into the "obsession" level.
