Something Wrong With You? Tell Us About It.

[Bob the Unbeliever]

What's wrong with me?

1) I refuse to talk about (or even admit) what is wrong with me.

2)

 

[Rival]

Something wrong? With Rival? Psshht.

 

[Thief]

It can be physical, mental or other.
Your choice.

Getting things started, I....
- Dislike crowds.
- Am stressed when hearing 2 people talking simultaneously.
- Am low on empathy.
- Have been slow at picking up social skills.
- Am prone to obsessing over arcane things, but easily distracted.
(Read this as feckless dilatant.)
- Dislike social rituals.
- Loathe having to schmooze with new people.
- Tend to take things literally.
- Tend to see all possible meanings in a statement, & find it difficult to discern which is intended.

There is more.
That is enuf.

BROTHER!!!!!......you are one messed up dude!

hehehehehehe

 

[Thief]

Humor can be inappropriate?

you should know

 

[Revoltingest]

I've not seen you truly fess up here.

I only got started in the OP.

 

[Thief]

as for me....I'm fine.....that is
when my heels don't hurt
when my back isn't stiff
when my skin isn't itchy
when I get enough sleep (never)

growing old sure is fun!!!!

I used to pop and crack my neck and back

that always felt soooooooo good

somehow....I have lost that ability

so I stretch
the stiffness is reduced
and the heel pain is gone for another day

 

[Revoltingest]

I feel most alive in a big noisy crowd!

For years I have practiced the skill
of following multiple conversations.
(It is not that hard, one word in ten may
be enough)

Love social rituals-depending a bit-
and try to perfect them.

I like designer clothes and
accessories.

And, doing housework au nat.

I have a big scar above my left ear
and wear thick nerd-glasses.

It's like you're the anti-Revoltingest.

 

[Revoltingest]

You sound perfectly normal to me.

You poor suffering soul.

 

[Jainarayan]

I have Bipolar 2 w/ hypomania & depression.
I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
I dislike crowds and social gatherings.
I have rages that only physical activity can calm. Fortunately I’ve never hurt anyone or anything.
I had a lumbar fusion almost 3 1/2 years ago, I have limited mobility and little flexibility, and am still on painkillers.
I have bone spurs in my neck and my right knee.
I have degenerative disc disease in my back and neck.
I often have too high an opinion of myself.
I often have too low an opinion of myself.

 

[Revoltingest]

I often have too high an opinion of myself.
I often have too low an opinion of myself.

On average, you have very good judgement.

 

[BSM1]

Me too. Those were the days when computers were real computers, programmers really need to know real programming and programming an 026 keypunch was essential.

I know what that is. I used to have several boxes of punch-cards, containing all the programs I did in College. OCD much?

Most were FORTRAN, some were COBOL, and at the end? PL1. IBM's attempt to monopolize programming language. It was kind of a flop: if there was one way to do something in PL1? There were likely 10 more way to do the exact same task....

Later on? I realized I had no punch-card reading machine, and did not have a clue who did-- so they all got turned into arts and crafts. Probably a thousand cards or so.

Hoorah!

I have Asperger's syndrome!

 

[PureX]

I never cared for Dostoyevsky.
That won't change.

I had a friend that read Notes From The Underground and never saw the humor of it. Which amazed me, since I was laughing out loud as I read a lot of it. Then it occurred to me that my friend was a lot like that underground man; inventing animosities and wallowing in self-loathing. (I'm not saying my friend is anything like you, I'm just saying that we're all different.)

 

[PureX]

I'm so shamefully gullible. I'm reading @PureX' post and thinking wow! Creative. LOL. How nice of you @PureX to credit the writer.

In this particular novel the underground man that is delivering that opening diatribe goes on to actually attack and insult the supposed reader of the book. It's an amazing bit of literary postmodern existentialism written way before anyone had ever even thought of such a thing. He wrote this in 1863!

You're too young yet.

 

[Audie]

It's like you're the anti-Revoltingest.

If I listed my negative qualities, you'd be really happy
to let me be your opposite!
