Welcome to WP!! !!

Hi.

Thanks guys..

Sorry, I shoulda said more...


I'm just mentally and physically exhausted from trying to wrap my mind around the enormity of what might be going(or has gone) wrong in my head.


At least you're not despairing like I'm about to.

Wintermute must have directed me to this thread. (I like Neuromancer as well.) You sound like me just a few months ago. My interests have diverged from yours somewhat by this point, however.

Welcome to WP!

If you want to chat, just PM me for my AIM or Yahoo screename. (I tend to not use MSN as much because most people I know don't use it.)

Is this directly relating to AS or just normal problems? I'm also going through a mental overhaul now that I know that I'm not responsible for most of my personality traits... it's unsettling...

hyperbolic.. I'll get to you on that.. you didn't need to say more after the first line though

It's the AS thing.

Not Diagnosed. Sorry.

Welcome Spartan,

Lots here like you. Some leading AI thought.

RadiationHazard is new and sorting it out, such thoughts are not for greeting the new, but have place in the Haven.

AS is a positive for most. I am sixty, would not have it any other way.

Yea, I know... I'm screwing up.

RadiationHazard,

Not if you can see what I am saying. You are very observent.

We need to get these new people in first, then we can play with them, dont scare off the marks.

Just kidding.

A first post is a big step. You remember how it felt to tell a bunch of strangers about your inner self?

Most do say it is not AS that is the problem, just people. For sixty years I dealt with that problem, did not like them, then here I found many I do like.

Change is good. Just a few good ones make up for the rest. Hang in there.

Hi!

Welcome to Wrongplanet!

I hope you enjoy posting here!

Thanks, all.. I'm already finding it quite comfy here

Ahh.. and where are these people you speak of? I'll lure them out with a couple of threads, anyhow.. ...

Spartan,

Dr_Mobius is 21 I think, and a power in the sciences. AI with a passion.
