Oh yesssss.
I hate deception. It's everywhere, lurking around the corner. I sometimes am scared to leave the house because there are so many people who hate with such a passion. And most of all... they hate people like me.
I hate "social" people. You know... the specific type who lies behind your back and makes all your friends hate you. Just to see you fall. Impersonated devils.
I am also scared by extremely religious people. There's a lot of Christians who believe people with autism are infected by the Devil. Creepy people. Very creepy people.

Sartre had a lot of insight, didn't he.
I have read accounts of near-death experiences where people say that they were met by a huge multitude of spirit beings. They always say how joyful they felt when this happened. I always thought if the first thing I encountered upon entering the afterlife was thousands of people, whether they were in spirit form or whatever, I'd run the other way.

Surveillance.
Aw, yeah... In the Orwellian sense.
And we have a lot of that already.

Its said that once we are dead the hatred, ego, complex is all faded away and the being returns to pure love and oneness 
the soul realises we are all one and we are part of this one great cosmos since we are all created from one single atom.
Thats the teaching of christ to open your heart and to love unconditionally without judging
I dont think you will run away from other soul when you will be encompassed in divine love.

I feel that I would become accustomed to anything eventually and so it wouldn't seem like hell anymore - even a 'constantly changing' hell wouldn't seem like hell after some period of time.
I suppose my basic consciousness simply rejects the idea of everything being bad and so it reworks things to make them good somehow. If nothing else, there's always that magical idea of a better place that you can reach at any time if you only did some action. |

Hell for me
My childhood
Having crush on someone knowing that you will not see them ever again
Loneliness
Being unloved, uncared and ignored by your parents and siblings
Silent and invisible treatment at social gatherings
Being sidelined at your workplace
Love to wear fancy and stylish clothes but cant wear them due to societal pressure
Ending up in labour room, being pregnant, wailing babies
Unable to visit decent place for vacation and vacation cut down short by hubby's boss
Sex
Facebook without friends and people deleting your comments, seeing happy pics of colleagues, classmates
Your mother and brother bad mouthing and back stabbing you.
Not getting invited to many social gatherings and people delibrately posting pics of those gatherings on Facebook
Childhood acquaintances ignoring you.
Being talented but unable to apply your talents.
Being qualified and educated but working at low paying job
Poor Interpersonal skills at workplace and otherwise and not getting promotion or raise
Having qualification to run a business but unable to run it due to lack of social knowledge
Trusting someone to make them your spiritual guru and realising that they were a con artist
Realising that spiritual organisation are money minting business
Realising that nice person was actually a con and pseudo business entrepreneur
Waking up one day to realise that everything you did in your past was wrong
Being confused between spirituality, psychology, psychiatry everything else
Unable to forget someone no matter how much distance, space, time being stuck with OCD
Oldage, disease and loneliness
Unemployed
Being cheated by people

Hard to choose one as there are a lot of good choices already.  I think what might drive me crazy would be being the last person on earth. Maybe that's just from watching that one episode of the Twilight Zone, though.

hmm being the last person on earth would be weird, I think i would probably just end up doing lots of drugs until some more technologically advanced race passing by decides to pick me up for the purpose of studying since I'd be the last human or I would just eventually die of an overdose or off myself.
I guess it would be kinda hellish either way.

Hell for me would be knowing I had hurt a lot of people, and could never hope to make up for it.
Very recently I was involved in this online study about autistic people and their ethical values--They asked you to rate how much distress you felt on thinking about various situations--and I rated "being wrongly accused" as the highest, even above things like orphaned children and genocide. I would have rated "being rightly accused" as even higher. I don't know why. I guess maybe being the culprit strikes more horror into me than being the victim. You can recover from someone else wronging you; but how do you recover from the knowledge that you've hurt someone else? You can try to atone, try to make up for it, but the reality of it is always there, and you can only get used to it--and even that feels bad because you're getting used to the idea of doing horrible things.
But I guess that's true for most people. We all have consciences. Even when people do horrible things, they always seem to feel the need to justify it somehow--you know, "I didn't know it would hurt you," or "you deserved it", or "I was ordered to do it," or, "You need to toughen up," or "Everybody does that." You don't see too many people saying, "Yeah, I hurt someone who didn't deserve it, and I'm cool with that." If they do, you generally call them a sociopath.
