Originally posted by reject Yea I get that, I haven't even done 1% of the reading you've done on it but idk, I can't put it into words but taking drugs for mental health reasons seems like fucking with my brain and changing who I am. I kinda feel like how my brain is is a part of me and I don't really wanna "change" it. I wanna learn how to handle it and control, tame it if you will, but not dampen it or fundamentally alter it. I like being me, I like who I am even if nobody else does, I've never once wished I was someone else
Thing is, what if your brain just naturally has these flaws that have produced problems throughout your life? No one is genetically perfect.
There are tons of aspects of Asperger's I'd change if I could because the benefits do not outweigh the costs by a long shot.
Having differences in your GABAergic system, amygdala, severe OCD, profound social deficits, extreme sensory issues, and a high predisposition to depression and suicide is not fun.
You can't simply will yourself into changing certain differences in the brain like this. I want to be on medication for the rest of my life. -

You've admitted yourself that you need learn to live with other people, do you really think this is an effective mode human interaction?
BTW, right now I'm still glad I hurt your feelings, hopefully deeply, because I think you deserve it on some level, needed to hear it, and it may do you some good at some point. Even if it's purely out of a desire to see others suffer, I am not sorry. Just being perfectly honest and open. Any apology would be disingenuous. -

Oh my brain certainly has these natural flaws which has produced most of my problems, but, it's who I am. I still remember a few years ago when I was about to buy a load of benzos and poc was like "you're a fucking idiot, you know exactly how this is guna end, you're like me". And every time it ended how I knew. It's hard to know what you can predict and what's a self-fulfilling prophecy -
2017-05-12 at 10:38 PM UTCI haven't thought about killing myself in over a year, not seriously anyway, when I'm lying in bed and can't sleep sure sometimes my mind drifts to it but generally I'm doing all right, 2015 was such a fucked up year anything after that is a positive

You didn't hurt my feelings, sorry if that's disappointing. Do you actually think you can put together a rant that will make me feel insecure in any novel way based on selective autism memory of posts I've made on "niggasin.space"? Like did you think I was going to be shocked or hurt by someone telling me what? That I'm not the most important or smartest person in the world? Normal people realize this around like middle school when skill levels in a peer group clearly start to diverge.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2017-05-12 at 11:06 PM UTCI would never take prescription medication for depression. I wouldn't take it for anxiety either. But I have considered trying to get Adderal just so I can take half does while self schooling.
Nothing beats a healthy diet, exercise, and doing what you feel is natural.
IMHO, doctors only prescribe meds because they make money off of it. I believe they prescribe some meds simply to numb and dis-motivate certain people that they consider a risk to society.
Try eating healthy, exercising, and refraining from drugs/alcohol. Don't forget to do as you please. I bet you'll feel better. -

You think there are benefits to being retarded? -

Well, then, it's back to my autism theory. Or possibly even mild pro-social psychopathy, you may not even experience normal human emotions, the normal range, and not even realize it. Although you did describe it as "awfully vitriolic".
BTW, I just want to point that this essentially implies I'm going to suffer for the rest of my life and likely commit suicide:
Originally posted by Lanny I hate to be a downer but this kind of thing can't help but make me think you're never going to get better.
I'd also like to point out that you genuinely believe Kira was the hero of Death Note, are an extreme statist authoritarian that believes the populace should be heavily controlled and guided, and from this we can conclude that you would also be willing to do terrible terrible things as well. I've stated before that most people would find a large amount of your views absolutely abhorrent.
So we may both be terrible people in our own way. -

Based on me being cognizant of some my own shortcomings and not being offended when they're pointed out, you've reached the verdict that I'm either autistic or psychopathic?BTW, I just want to point that this essentially implies I'm going to suffer for the rest of my life and likely commit suicide:
It means that some of your behavior is pathological and pulls you towards that outcome. You don't seem to give my input a lot of weight, which is fine, but the hope is you'd consider it on its own merits and try to self correct.I'd also like to point out that you genuinely believe Kira was the hero of Death Note, are an extreme statist authoritarian that believes the populace should be heavily controlled and guided, and from this we can conclude that you would also be willing to do terrible terrible things as well. I've stated before that most people would find a large amount of your views absolutely abhorrent.

Yes, many people would find policies I think are justifiable, at least in principle, abhorrent. But the same can be said for anyone with a position on the legal status of abortion. I don't think that's sufficient to consider a person terrible. And it seems pretty certain I have no better chance of enacting my vision of utopia than you have of yours, it hardly seems like you can hold deeds not committed against one's moral standing.
And on those grounds I don't consider you a terrible person either. As far as I know the worst thing you've done in your life is cause your parents grief, which I mean isn't great but hardly an unforgivable moral crime.

No, seriously, you actually think there is a benefit to your mental retardation? -

Lanny, it wasn't hard to tell quite some time ago that you're a snitch, so if I had killed people in the past for whatever reason, for the enjoyment, challenge, because I thought they deserved it, and was smart enough to get away with it, I sure as hell wouldn't tell you or anyone else. -
2017-05-13 at 2:37 AM UTCHah, reminds me of when I was a state employee I had to sign the dumb thing about how like if I suspected a student was a victim of abuse or some shit I was legally obligated to report it and I'd be charged if I didn't. I guess it makes sense for like primary/secondary school teachers, if you suspected abuse it really would be a whole clusterfuck to do anything about it, a self interested person would be mightily tempted to just ignore it. Just seemed stupid since I came into contact with like a total of three humans in a professional capacity all of whom were adults.
