I wanna be better than all people NOW!! !! !! !! !
Shut the F K up!! !
19 for chrissake!
Please enlighten us as to how bad you've had it. I'm just dying to know.
There are participants on this forum who have been raped, molested, grossly abused and neglected the list goes on and on...
But speaking from experience: By the time I was your tender age I had been physically and emotionally abused to the point that police had to forcibly remove me from my "mothers'" home at which time I was placed in "the system" (foster care). She had literally ironed my hand, held my head under water and crushed my ankle by slamming it in a car door (those are just thing things I remember). I grew up gay AND went undiagnosed with AS until I was 40! I had a pervert of a grandfather who enjoyed inappropriate naked cuddling and a sophomore guidance counselor who thought I was ready to "come out" and he was just the guy to "help". By the time I left the house (age eighteen) we had moved 23 times across the country which means I pretty much had no friends or close family EVER.
So please... indulge me. How have you had it soooo bad that you deserve more than anyone else?
I am breathless.......
I'm pretty close to perfect. Its overrated.

So, you really want to be "wiser"? I don't know whether one can acquire "wisdom" so easily.
However, you might want to try acquiring vast quantities of "knowledge".
It's the next best thing!

Thank you for the sentiment. My point certainly wasn't to garner sympathy for me but to re-awaken a small sens of humility in the OP. There are people out there (perhaps even on this forum) who have had it far, far worse than I. I try not to begrudge anyone elses' experiences, but I think all of them need to be taken with a grain of salt.
BTW: I've survived, have pretty good adoptive parents, a great partner... the usual trappings of a normal American life.

I just read it and felt I needed to say something, I know you weren't fishing for anything, it just kind of jumped right out of me. and I'm happy to read everythings going ok for you!
This is not a good road to go down. Don't let ego get to your head, and don't allow pressure to really screw you up.
You have to appreciate your surroundings... be in touch with your spirituality, and be humble, whilst realizing that by doing so, you're not any less of a person.
It's hard to be humble in young Western society and not feel intimidated, but perhaps you can train your mind to overcome this kind of stress, and realize that there are some equally valid people out there who are worth investing your trust and company in.
Yes, there are some jerks, but they're the pathetic people whom are idiots and have nothing going for them, unless they find a way to rehabilitate themselves.
Etiquette and humility, with a healthy dose of skepticism and caution, is healthy.
I'm not saying you can't be proud of yourself from time to time, or even have no ego, but don't let thoughts of rage and disgust to others, and the pressure to thrive screw you up - the road you're going down right now may f**k with your head.
I hope my advice proves useful.

Theres no such thing as perfection. Second, you say you want to be better then everyone else but that would cause you to have other problems like social issues. With the attitude you displayed here no one would want to be around you. Third, All the supposed facts will be changed in a few decades anyway because no knowledge is absolute or without change.

Person you shut the hell up, you have no right to be rude to me and belittle my problems. I don't live inside of you, so I don't know of your pain. Sorry!
