I must admit, I could go on and on forever when it comes to talking about my thoughts and feelings about life in general. There are so many reasons why I don't like having Asperger's what I could just spend forever talking about. I could write a big one-thousand page book about my emotional issues. But I wouldn't, because who would want to read a thousand pages of me whining or gabbling on and on about myself?

I wooouuuld ! !! What's the link ? :)

Long posts can seem intimidating. I feel like whatever I have to say has already been covered somewhere in those paragraphs and I'd just be parroting them-especially when they can explain the topic more eloquently.

This may just stem from my self-esteem issues though.

Am temped to just reply to all of them, "Unnecessarily long, can't read :("


There's actually a form of Internet shorthand for that.

You just quote the person, and then type:

tl;dr

It stands for "too long; didn't read."

:lol:

Haha, i see what you mean.

Some Aspies tend to notice the little details rather than the big picture, and may have trouble just summarizing the whole thing.

That was funny.
Do you write long posts Prof_Pretorius?
Sorry, I just found that very funny.
