Don't rip yourself apart. Self hatred won't get you anywhere. If you keep telling yourself that you're worthless and you'll never fit in, then you'll never gain the confidence to improve your situation. You can't change the way others percieve you, you can only change the way you see yourself.

People never forgive it, they tolerate it maybe when your a kid, but in the adult world it becomes a dog and pony(phony) show, it's sad, I do feel your against with Men, Women and those people in-between?. when i was younger, I considered killing myself, but I sucked at it, so I thought... why let them off so easy, if your different, make it work for you or against them, like now I tell a car full of people I thought I was a serial Killer, and watch them sweat something awful.

I sure understand this sentiment. I used to look at myself in the mirror with as much dark hatred for myself as I could muster. I think I was hoping that whatever I hated would get scared and leave and all that would be left of me is something that I didn't hate.

I can't think what changed that made me not despise myself so much. I think that finishing something that you start, like writing a story or building a birdhouse helps take away some of the self hatred.

It varies, small truck and local, the high demand jobs for people who want to stay home, $0.30 a mile, $45,000 to $60.000.

The long haul lonely, California produce to New Your, and back again, $1 a mile.

People in the business of moving things have to keep going, they own a fleet, they would rather own trailers, and deal with tractor owners. Not enough owner operators, growing business, and they have to find someone.

Company trucks are cheap, lots of vibration, but if you are working a run, have something to put down, Peterbuilt, Mack, Freightliner, White, want to meet you, they have a deal. New, with a seat better than anything, viabration blocking, sound proofing, and a sleeper you can live in, with a wife and two kids.

ICC says 10 hours, 550 miles, then you rest, got to keep the logs right.

A new rig is tax deductible, fuel, everything, so the delux model pays.

At 100,000 miles 200 days, it is back to the factory, they tighten rivits, like aircraft service, and by the third refit, it is paid for. Trucks are measured in engines worn out, and they are well cared for, most keep a spare ready to go.

A truck earns several million over it's life. Comapny truck, then a rebuilt as someone uses their writeoff, then new.

You are never home, never any one place, few haul from A to B and back, it is all over. A parked truck is $500 a day being lost, so many look for a second driver, and will give you over the road training, the best, their rig.

Lonely, but beats any towny job.

Between the companies, the makers, and the drivers, the deal is good for all.

So where can we find people who would just as soon never speak to a human, likes machines, has no attachment to any place, and wants to live in the whole country?

More women are driving. Power everything, no roots.

Believe me Mw99, every post of yours that I've read is something that I might have written if I had less impulse control, or something. I guess I've expanded my self-loathing to encompass our entire species instead of just me. I may not care much what happens to me anymore, but I don't care any more about the fate of anyone else either, so we're still on the same level field.

Any sense of self worth comes from the following outlook on my situation: I may never be able to adjust or fit into society, but that also means that in times of crisis where the majority can't cope, I'll be one of the few still be able to function and possibly thrive. I realized this long before I knew what Asperger's was, but now that I know, I'm sure the same goes for most of us on this board.

That's not an incitement to cause a crisis through an act of terrorism, of course; I just mean that if nothing else, we can bide our time. The genes responsible for our condition wouldn't still be so common if they didn't come in handy once or twice a century, right?

I can SO relate. They questioned my intellect and mental health too, and sometimes wondered if I was a danger to society. And they enjoyed it; they found it fun. They got thesee superior, snobbish, cocky smiles on their faces whenever they said something to that effect! Or even when they looked at me when I was looking particularly wierd. Me too; the job thing and the material posessions... I could never concentrate enough to keep a job, and usually couldn't even concentrate enough to find one. I'm overweight too. And no you should not listen to the bullies!

This is not the way it has to be. You had luck. When I was a kid, I was physically beaten for my quirks, my social eneptitude and my failures in communication.

Yop, they can do that, and its their right to freely think what they want. But you are a free person as well, so they cant harm you with their thoughts. Its simply silly, dumb thoughts and lot of people have silly, dumb thoughts, so why bother about it as long as they cant harm you? I have a IQ of more than 130, but when I talk to people they handle me like a moron. Its not because of them being bad and evil, but simply because normally having high intelligence also means an "active face and bodylanguage" when talking. I am fully concentrating on listening and forming words, my eyes are normally staring meanwhile on a blind spot, my face is without movement, and my body language is not existing. I simply am and look mentally disabled when it comes to verbal communication, and people can see that. People that know me, sooner or later recognize by themselves, thats its only that minor part of me affected, and that I am not generally "slow" but only when it comes to verbal communication. And people that dont know, simply cant know of it. I was sadened by that too, but generally: The main thing is, that the people you spend time with, know about you. When it comes to people you rarely have contact, its simply sufficient to get what you want. I dont care if a worker in a butchery thinks of me being slow or ret*d, I only care if I get my 100 gramm sausage in the way I ordered it. As long as they stay friendly, but simply start to talk slower or whatever, its ok for me, because when he dont know me yet, I cant blame him for not knowing that my ret*d behavement at social contact, doesnt mean of me being completly ret*d. And I dont want to wear a sign, telling everyone. ^^ So I dont care if unknown people treat me as ret*d, but what I do not accept is being treated in a bad way. So slower speaking or speaking as I was a child: Its frustrating but ok, they simply dont know. Treating me as I had lower worth: Not ok and I dont accept that behavement.

For many people the wish to socialize with someone is the same with liking someone. So many people will think, that because you dont want to spend time with them and share their gossip, that you dont like them and are not interested in them. You personally wont be able to change that when it comes to the broad mass of people, but along your contacts try to grab chance to show that you are interested in the welfare of people, even when you are not interested in spending time with them to gossip. So my neighbor first thought that I would avoid him because of him being serbian, until he learned that I am simply completly shy to everyone including my own parents. But if he needs some help as a neighbor, I am always willing to help and lucky for chances to prove people that I dont dislike them generally. If they need someone to chat, I cant help them, but if they need some special gardening tools, a taxi for an old female neighbor without car or car license to the local doctor, some heavy stuff they have forgotten to buy when their relatives where there to do their great shopping tour with them, ... its ok. I am a bit cranky sometimes, if its too sudden, but generally I dont mind for such things.

Yop, I agree it sucks. But I cant help you. Simply try and try and try and try and try... until it works. I also had big problems at that topic. You simply need luck. The job I now have, I only got because the person that was doing my job before me, had to leave the company so fast, that they couldnt to propper job interviews with many people and additionaly I offered them to work for really low money in the first year. Its simply: Why give the job to someone, that seem to be ret*d, when you can give it to someone that seems to be more able to do the job? Simply try to catch every chance to show someone, what you really can, when you are not forced to communication. They accepted me, because I offered them to work for very few loan, so they wouldnt have lost much if I wouldnt have managed the job and would loose the job again. And then I showed them, that I can do that job in a good way. There is no manual how to acchieve a job: Simply grab every chance and hope that you will get this time that damn extrapiece of luck, you need to acchieve a job. And simply accept, that sometimes their will be an extrapiece of bad luck also. :(

YOU CAN'T MAKE FRIENDS BECAUSE YOU ARE WEIRD.
When it comes to "normal" friends I also lack competence, but at least around my interests I was able to find "friends". Whatever your hobbies and interests are, try to find friends by them, even if you only talk to them over internet or whatever.

Quote:
YOU CAN'T FIND ROMANCE FOR THE SAME REASON.
Same like the job, try your best and hope for luck for finding a romance, but no guarantee for it. But generally a romance wont help you for being happy. Either you are happy yourself or you are unhappy yourself, but there is noone else responsible for being happy then you. :)

Try to acchieve more special knowlege for jobs. The more advantages and skills you can offer, the less will your misadvantages count.

Simply eat less and do sports. I could try to cuddle you with emotional stuff and tell you lies but if you have overweight the only thing that really helps you is changing the stuff you eat and doing more movement. There is no gear needed to do so, you can simply start by trying with doing more normal walks around your neighborhood. Or doing some easy gymnastics before the television. No need for expensive gear or sports clubs or whatever, simply start slowly to enhance the time you move yourself, in which way ever.

No, we are only socially total loosers. ^^ But being a looser cant prevent you from enjoying your free time. I am socially a total looser, but that wont affect me having fun playing computer games this evening.
