Sweet F.A.
Try to go up to a stubborn person and tell them that they’re the ones being a detriment to others and annoying everyone else, they’ll plug their ears and say “La La La La! I can’t hear you! I’m right and you’re wrong! La La La La!” They need to look in the mirror and say “Maybe I’m the one doing something wrong…” and actually do something to improve instead of insisting and not listening to other people who tell them advice on how to get better.
It’s the truth. Even on a day-to-day basis, I try to look at my actions and words I’ve spoken, and wonder to myself if I’m right or wrong.
I think part of it is that people are so strangely afraid to admit when they
are wrong. Like, they can’t be wrong, because they feel they will be shunned for it or something. But honestly, in my opinion, it’s more mature to admit that you were wrong, and change your behavior and beliefs based on that, rather than continuing to stubbornly stand by how you acted before.
Too bad most of society doesn’t believe that.

How many of those friends of his does he contact on a daily basis? Or that contact him?
You’re probably right. I never really thought of it that way. Like, I have tons of acquaintances, but I don’t really have any good friends. Well, maybe one, but I’m getting the sense that he’s no longer interested in friendship with me.

Well, if you have trust issues, then you shouldn’t feel worry, as that makes you hard to get attracted to shady deals.
That’s exactly why I have trust issues. I’ve been screwed over like that before.
And if you think the asperger is causing you so much baggage, I think you should try some therapy; step-by-step, you might slowly get over with.
I don’t think I’m ever going to be rid of it, entirely. I’d honestly like not to have to deal with it, with the pressure of seeming “normal” on a day-to-day basis, to struggle with understanding such simple things as when someone is being serious or making a joke. But we live in a society where there’s such a stigma against mental health issues, where you’re not told to express it if you do have it, where you’re instructed to keep quiet. If you’re asked how you’re doing, you’re not supposed to say that your depression and anxiety are screwing you over; you’re supposed to say, “Fine,” and be done with it. I don’t know why we are like this, but I guess that’s just the case.
I don’t know, to be fair the world has been always pretty judgemental to me no matter the time, that’s why we must thrive to avoid fall into such vices, we are the ones that build this world after all so we can make changes for the better.
That’s why I said that I don’t know if it’s always been this way or has just gotten worse over time.
Have a hug friend, if you feel you need to cry or hug somebody do it, it’ll be better if you don’t bottle your feelings.
It’s strange. I’ve always been instructed that I should bottle up my negative feelings, because it will drive people away. Believe it or not, I used to have a ton of emotional outbursts, but through years of therapy, I was trained to hide it, to quell my emotions… and now people think that I’m an emotionless non-entity, like Spock or Data or something, and that I don’t really care about anything. So now I don’t know what the hell I’m supposed to do.
