What's Your MAIN Issue?

Post Reply New Topic

Perhaps you need a mantra to calm you down. Mine is "sweetness and light".

I know the "square-peg" feeling, but with me it's not as pronounced. I feel like an oval peg in a round hole, and the fact that everything is seemingly so close to being right is what drives me nuts. It's like a picture that's a little bit out of focus. It would bother me more than if the picture were totally out. There's a slight glitch in the transmission lines of both sending and receiving data from people, and if I could correct the 20% I feel like I'm not getting, then I feel like I could rule the world.

That's a pretty big "if" however, so I'll keep trying to do the best with what I've got.

For me it's the feeling that life is one big, perfectly, choreographed dance, and I seem to be one step off, and/or behind. Kind of like those Visa commercials where the guy with the cash disturbs everybody's smooth routine, then everyone just stops, and stares at him like he's grown a second head.

Anxiety and shyness.

For me its paranoia. I always think that people think the worst of me, and then I realize that people find my uneasiness discomforting.
I wish i could speed up my brain, its so slow.

Depressed because I'm anxious, anxious because I'm depressed, depressed because I'm depressed, anxious because I'm anxious... Celexa took away the anxiety so mostly now it's just depression. As you all know... I never shut up about it!

social stuff.......i always feel like i'm just a little bit behind everyone else, a little bit off. it's like i missed the memo that everyone else got on how to interact with people.

sensory, social and a bit physical

No patience, social avoidance, clumsy, uncoordinated and a big ol' mess at times, sensory issues~mainly auditory processing, but there are others that are equally annoying, inability to rip myself from special interests causing neglect in more important areas of life..and inevitable meltdowns.

I think that the thing that has plagued me in adult life and kept me hopping from job to job is that I'm great in small doses. My cute little quirky things aren't so great not endearing when you have to live with them full time. People don't understand that i don't feel the need to seek out all the others that I work with for random socializing. And I hate the pick on the weird kid meetings. You need to be more social. Do things with us outside of the office. I just f***ing work with you people, I don't like you!

I can relate to that, mostly in terms of social stuff at least.

I'd say social stuff is my biggest issue. If I could magically make myself know how to do all type of interactions correctly, I'd be pretty much set (I have some other issues, but I don't think they're a huge deal in comparison-and some are brought on by anxiety caused by the social stuff).

I think the hardest thing i deal with these days is how i am 27 going on 28 and i have to start being a professional adult. I feel like sometimes i just want to relax and be a kid still. I get so much cr*p from my friends, co-workers, and family about how i should stop pretending like im in highschool and how i should go to college, get a significant other, and settle down and became a full-functioning adult. I don't know what i want to do for the rest of my life!! I can't imagine doing the things i do in leisure and applying them to adulthood, and still liking them after i have to do it everyday 9-5. I don't want to destroy my last few enjoyable activities i have left for myself. What should i do??

Another main issue that I have, is how NTs of both genders are getting more and more ditsy, as the years go by. Back in the 80s, only the females spoke with that annoying lilt. Now the males have to do that, as well. You know the type of gramar, where everything sounds like a question? That type of grammar really grates on my nerves. We should go back to the days, before the movie, 'Valley Girl' made it's debut on the big screen. Now, that's an idea!

I have to suppress the sexual thoughts I get about little girls, I want to suppress all the pedo related thoughts I get because they only make me feel miserable, so I play videogames all day.

I also hate people who think that all children should be potty trained, before their third Birthday, and if a child isn't potty trained before that time, than he or she has serious mental problems. I hate that, I hate that, I hate that! That's probably only because I was a late trainer myself, and I don't think that there's anything wrong with my brain. I think that people should really think, before they speak about this topic. Most NTs think that there's a set age, where every single toddler must meet their milestones, in order for them to be perfect. That's another reason that I make a point of avoiding most NTs like the plague. Those are also the same types of people who think that a person must be over 65 years old, in order to be incontinent enough to wear disposable underwear. It's dealing with those types of ignorant jerks, that make me feel blessed that there is even a character like Sid from 'Flushed Away' who's filling that big void in my life, right now, that has been created by such traditionalists.
