    Fact is that I haven’t connected very well with people my entire life. I’ve always felt like the outsider. I either get knocked or ignored entirely and since I’ve been an adult it’s mostly just been the thing of being ignored and overlooked or avoided.
    Hell, there’s dating sites for christians(people with a disorder that makes them believe that there’s a magic man in the sky) so why not one for us? 😛

    “How can anyone like or love you, when you don’t like or love yourself?”

    that’s a bit of a circular thing though, it could just as easily be people not liking or loving you for the same reasons that you don’t like or love yourself. Besides, I usually feel inferior in the presence of people that are “normal”. People with something mentally off about them are the only ones that I’ve really gotten along with for the most part.

    “I am Autistic, and ADD, and Dyslexic.” No offense dude but writing may not be the career for you. It’s difficult enough to get into it just having ADHD but writing stuff backwards unintentionally when you do manage to get into it would kill confidence as well. I love writing, especially writing stuff that I’m passionate about but I rarely write at all because of my ADD. Like ya I love doing it but I’ll get around to it sometime(yakno what I mean?).

    While I respect artists, the biggest gift to an artist should be to be seen and/or heard and to be heard of. Fame and recognition. Not just “if I make this, how much money can I put in my bank acnt?”. While I may understand your argument from a struggling artist point of view, like from the people whom may only make a few sales and still struggle to pay their rent. I have no empathy whatsoever for those cast in movies that make more money in a day than I’ve made in my lifetime while doing much harder work that I have NO passion for. The great artists that take advantage of their skills can generally make a hell of a lot more than I’m making for real work so I’d hardly say they’re doing it “for free” . As I said, the struggling artists are the exception, to the ones that aren’t, good luck with that argument. To say it again, I don’t have any extra money these days so to pirate stuff or not, either way the artists will see no money from me(can’t get blood from a stone).

    Lol.. you’re doing it wrong. You gotta download from proven sites that are exclusive or/and have a good name that is well known for not handing out viruses like candy on Halloween. As for “somebody” paying for it, not always true. For one, it’s digital media, there is no cost in the reproduction of it. For two, if I had the money to pay for things I would, not paying for them isn’t losing the companies any more money than not being able to get their product at all; plus by getting their product and reviewing it and telling people I know(from experience) that the product is good I may actually be helping the company more to some extent than if I simply didn’t get the product at all. As for the argument that product prices are high because people pirate them. Maybe true but Just because I stop pirating something doesn’t stop the umpteen million other people that decide to pirate it.

    People may be living to over 100 but assuming that 100 is the average lifespan, I’ve wasted 1/3 of my life. By that logic I’d say 33 is pretty old..

    Oh and I’m the type that pretty much tries to pirate everything off the internets, so just FYI, trying to sell me things off this site won’t work 😛 No offense intended if you had purely good intentions but I get a bit tired of hearing “You can fix everything in your life, just buy this!”

    “I can never remember my dreams well enough to write them down, never mind turn them into stories. And I don’t want to remember the frightening ones. I don’t have them anymore though (knock wood). I sometimes have very intense dreams, I guess most people would consider them nightmares, that will wake me up.”

    I had a dream a month or so back that the midget off game of thrones was my room-mate and he was a really crappy room-mate and left messes everywhere and had constant loud orgies in the bedroom. But he was offering me gummie candies, he had a large drawer full of them for some reason… Ya… some of my dreams are downright bizzare..

    “A common theme in these dreams is running, usually from some unstoppable threat that just keeps coming.”

    Justin Bieber?

     

    Yes, social anxiety sounds about right.. I think I have that really bad. I remember one time when the woman I worked for was in a small space with me and I became so fearful of her being in my space and my inability to say anything that I was nearly in tears. I do have a bad fear of social situations these days.

    Since summer is kicking in and the new captain america movie is about to hit theaters in a few days I was tempted to invite a friend to go and see it with me but I am so fearful of screwing up in some way that I hesitate.

    I have a decent vocab but it can be suppressed pretty bad during prime-time hours(pretty much anytime I’m out of the house actually talking to people). But when I’m trying to pass out my vocab is back with a vengeance. I’m coming up with poetry and poetic thoughts, theories and realizations, my mind is lit up like a Christmas tree.

    “And now that you know, what will you choose? Will you deploy the tips/tricks/strategies/medications ? Or will you also loose interest in that as well? There’s the true test now that you know. You may even decide to put this off for awhile. Get back to it later maybe.”

    You got me there, as much as I hate to say it, there’s a good chance that I’ll end up putting it off for a while. Although with summer kicking in (finally) I may get up the energy to hit up the doc and get it diagnosed. In the winter I have no energy for anything at all, there’s three places I go, work, home and wal-mart for food.

    Ya, the comment comparing ADD to being retarded wasn’t a jab at intellect at all. I for one know that I possess more brain power than a lot of those so-called normal mouth breathing bible thumpers out there. However I grow easily bored with any major learning task before I can complete it or even get far into it at all.  I tried to learn Japanese and Filipino(Tagalog) and french but didn’t get more than a handful of words down before I got bored and stopped. I tried to learn computer programing but only got to making a very very basic program before I got bored and stopped.  In my mind the end result is all I see and it seems I always just want to go from step A to step Z and can’t handle what comes in between.

    But I have an inventive mind and I often like to think outside of the box. But without the ability to focus, it’s all gone to waste.
