[Abaddon]

You may have friends who wanna settle down and you may be reaching that age where you want to settle down too, but she's 18, she's not going to want to. Find someone older, more mature.

Dear Parents

You know i have problems socially and reminding me of this sure as hell doesn't exacerbate the issue, neither does enquiring about my lack of interest in a partner. Forcing me into social situations doesn't help and i'll never be anxiety free.

I'm screwing up in school, failing at every class and i'm too busy on the computer playing WoW because not only am i a ******, but i'm also a weak willed autistic screw up of a son that can't even make decisions for himself without becoming anxious.

I'm a man child essentially, but i desperately want to be a normal, mature adult, but despite this i'll still be the immature boy when i turn 18 this year. I don't know what to do, this dilemma is agonising and is preventing me from having a normal life. I'm sorry that i can't relate, emphasise or even begin to understand what i've done to you.

It wasn't your fault mum, i only got diagnosed this year and because of dad's job we had to move frequently which caused me issues. You did the best you could.

Welcome to the group of people who's parents have no idea how to "fix" you except by yelling at you and blaming everything on you in the hope that this will somehow solve things.

What were you diagnosed with, asperger ?

Also lay off the WoW - heroin is outlawed, as WoW should be. But at least heroin has some positive effects.

I'm lost.
I don't do these kinds of threads, but I realised today that I'm completely loat, and that I have nothing of any meaning.
It's only at the happiest, most social times of the year, do we truly realise how alone and pathetic we are.

Which is why hollidays suck in general. And why drinking is a necessity at this time.

Stop robbing the cradle. You get what you pay for with 18 year olds most of the time.

You can work where I am at. Wanna work in a plastic factory? It only requires you to stand near a plastic injection machine for about 12 hours a day while I go around making sure that you are staying there tending the machine and counting and inspecting the parts that you are producing.

We need more people. I am getting tired of managing people who only speak tagalog or white-trash dialect.

I once had that job (they were 8 hour shifts, but they were at night), the summer before my mission in fact. Boring as heck, but my coworkers were nice - maybe some of them were a bit white trash, but cool people - and they told me that the job was good for me, it would make sure I wanted to go back and do well in college.

Good for you. And yes, I would not recommend this type of career for anyone who has any aspiration for a high-paying job instead of the one I am in. But I am content in where I am at since I have found a place where I feel I am needed as well the fact that I am pretty good at doing high stress decision-making while doing a lot of manual labor at the same time. Trust me, being in a managerial position at a plastic factory requires extreme gifts in multi-tasking, and the ability to remain calm when things doesn't go smooth; which usually happens far too many times.

Yes i was, and yes WoW should be outlawed :/

This doesn't really compare to the life sized rants that have been posted recently, but I'm pissed off gaddamnit. The Relic servers are down so I can't play Company of Heroes online. Its bad enough being home for Christmas and being bored as feck without that happening.

Oh, so that's why this thread was now started by him, and why it thinks I haven't read post I have read, and why this suddenly has more posts and pages and GOD THIS IS CONFUSING MAKE IT STOP

Moderator Action: My bad, I wanted to merge the threads (we sort of encourage people not to make their own threads complaining about something) but didn't realize how old his was.
