What is your biggest failure?

What kind of things did you purposely fail at?

What kind of long term implications did your failures have?

Who are you jealous of and what are your jealous of?

Giving up my electronics career due to depression when I should have stuck with it.

Once drove my car down a ditch deliberately and had to be rescued

Stuck on state benefits and a lonely alcoholic

Anyone clever with a fully functioning brain and a normal face.

I guess I can forget ever being a real artist because people don't want real artists anymore. They only want art done by AI.

And I thought art was one thing that could never be done by something that wasn't human. "Good" art, anyway.

I think I am a living failure according to social norms.

I fail at things that make me seem too competent, but mostly in front of people, my unconscious brains sabotages me, as competence puts too much pressure on me. It makes me feel like then people will expect things from me I cannot do.

Implication probably just means I am very unhappy when it comes to socializing. Being alone is OK, unless there is some socializing event coming up that day.

I am not aware of jealous feelings, or I cannot peg the feeling.
I am of course bit annoyed around women or when female male relationships come up as I never had one and it kind of might lead to one of those conversations where people say stuff and get pushy. I hate that.
It can get pretty awkward if you are 35 years old and someone brings up that whole ordeal.

I agree, that this is a problem for artist, but I would say its still possible to make normal art.
I think people still find normal art more attractive as it is still the norm.
Cannot guarantee this sentiment will be there in say 5 years of time.

Just having Asperger's.

Purposely? Probably that I took music class for GCSE at school, which I knew would be too hard for me but I took it anyway because I liked pianos.

Quote:

Not allowing me to make friends with my peers. Also being poor.

Quote:

Just NTs in general.

Biggest failure:
Not recognising dangerous people until it was too late, and then being too scared to tell.


Purposely failed:
Biology by skipping classes because I wouldn't dissect / touch worms, or euthanise bees.
Home Ec class, by skipping classes to hang with my then-boyfriend future husband.
Copying other girls / women.


Long Term Implications of #1:
Ruined my life and that of my kids
Trauma for everyone
Mutism
Financial hell
Relationship hell


Jealous:
Any woman who isn't a single mother / has a supportive co-parent
People who can commit to marriage and other normal things because no PTSD
