There's nothing wrong with BEING YOU, but you can change the attitude you put out on people and still be yourself. If you've a negative attitude, that really turns people off. I think what a lot of folks who replied are saying that you need to look at that and adjust it a little. If you put your issues out on the table, then they do become a big deal. If you find yourself in a position where your 'issues' or whatever are being overemphasized, then maybe you should be a bit more aware of either what you share or how you share it. You're going to encounter a lot of people that may not like you. The best thing to do with that is ignore them instead of trying to retaliate. People have better things to do with their time than to walk up to you and say that they can see right through you, if that's the case. It has nothing to do with lacking courage or being afraid. If you surround yourself with a bit more positivity, what others think isn't going to phase you nearly as much.
I've known decent guys in in track pants and t-shirts, and assholes in nice clothes. I'm not the only person posting this in this thread, but what you wear doesn't make you who you are. The fact that you keep focusing on how you LOOK rather than how you ARE is clearly more important. Make all the efforts in how you look, if that's what you're into. But what you need to do is focus much more energy on how you ARE.
I read through most of the posts he posted in the past month before I made a response and frankly this kid has been cut enough slack, there comes a time where trying to offer sympathy just has to turn into shoving reality into someone's face.
Then fucking ignore the thread. Because the idea of all of these ridiculously self-involved people ripping on a fucking handicapped kid for three pages about being a bad person is so ironic my head wants to explode. Honestly, telling a kid with Asperger's Syndrome to socialize more would be like your speech therapist telling you to "talk normal" and thats it. What the fuck is wrong with you people?
Chris, have you heard Quadrophenia by The Who ? ( 1974 ) Please buy it, Play Sea and Sand in particular. This Album features the same delimina the you post about. Peter Townsend is at his best here.
ohh Asperger's Syndrome..ok, i guess i didnt see that thread, i didnt read everything just was going by what i did see but thats not insurmountable as far as socialization goes..but it may shed more light on things, and would be worth my time to research more into that.. but wouldnt you agree then that thats all the more reason to talk to a qualified therapist about these issues?
ahh ok, i just learned alot about Asperger's Syndrome that pretty much explains everything that..hmm that really does explain everything..all i can say is..dont trust how you view ppl's expressions..in fact pay no attention to them..be honnesst about yourself..when you sit down and talk to someone be honnest bout hoew Asperger's Syndrome affects you, and if theyre aware that theyre smole might be taken as an attempt to pit you down, perhaps theyre words and other body language will make it more appanrent that they dont dislike you.. talk to a therapist about how to overcome all the lil ways it effects your interactions.. is Asperger's Syndrome a permenant thing or is it something that affects you differently through different stages of development?
absolutely... makes ya hafta rethink everything i'm gonna holdoff any more advice for a day or 2 till i know lil more
