Anyone with AS ever feel like Gollum?

Post Reply New Topic

Gollum (from the Lord of the Rings trilogy) obviously has this sense of split personality going on. And he's obsessed about the ring. Does anyone ever get that feeling of talking to yourself and obsessing over something so much you'll "kill" to get it?

Like that with my music I guess, depends on how stressed I am.

Yes.

Your survey forgot an option for "both".

Yes, this is just too strange.
I was thinking this a couple hours ago. But it's not the first time.
I got a new laptop today, and I guess I was excited about setting it up and all.
It's rare that I buy myself something expensive, but it gives me a bizarre feeling when I do.
Part of me feels guilty, but part of me is really happy, and I take great care in opening everything up and sorting out the various parts. At the same time, I get this parental feeling like I have given my inner child a gift or something.
I am just an emotional mess sometimes.

sometimes, on my bad days, but sometimes I feel like both .P.S at this time its 50, 50 by all votes lets keep it 50, 50 now that would be scary.....

I definitely feel like Smeagol.

The character of Gollum/Smeagol was an obsession for me, even before I knew about Asperger's Syndrome.

He does have much in common with an Aspie.

Fascinating. I cannot say I have ever felt like Gollum or Smeagol, though I have been able to identify with other characters from Tolkien's books.
