In general I am a fairly introverted individual. I still participate in class discussions, i engage in conversations where people are talking to me and asking me questions, and i can generally hold conversations with people with eye contact. I guess i have some odd obsessions/ interests, but i think they're productive interests. I am fascinated with Physics most notably quantum physics, time travel, and theoretical physics. I am also very interested in religious studies. I like very asthetic music with very deep introspective lyrics. I.E. Elliott smith, the smiths, Jeff Buckley, etc. But i don't think there is anything wrong with that. I don't think there is anything abnormal about think about the origin and evoulution of the comsos, or debating religion, or listening to music with substance and meaning. My biggest difficulty would probably be in a sort of "chaotic " social scene. For example like at a college party or bar. For whatever reason i have a very difficult time connecting with women. One would think that if you alcohol in you it would loosen you up. I have heard that people with aspergers can be "hypersensitive " to things. I think i just feel akward when i engage in a conversation with women and out of being sensitive to their wishes and not wanting them to feel akward i don't really pursue them. This is why i don't think i have AS. From everything i read, people with AS don't really know how to read people. I can see if someone is disinterested or uncomfortable talking to me, so i will halt the conversation. When i have conversations with people i make eye contact, i respond swiftly, and i show emotion. Although i would say most of the time i am just acting like i really care. But i don't think what these people are saying is really relevant. I'm not interested in listening to my friends discuss/ brag about cheating on their girlfriends, exploiting drunk women, gossiping about people, and saying retarded racist things. To make things easier i just act like im interested. This leads to my current depression and bitterness. I think to myself why are these horrible people with beautiful seemingly nice women. And i'm left alone. I'm severly bitter now. Honestly out of self defense from feeling sad and alone i am almost all together disengaging myself from trying to find a companion. I alike myself alot to Dexter Morgan from the show Dexter and his "confusion " on women. Not saying i am a serial killer lol. Sorry for the lousy grammar and poor sentence structure, but i just wanted to vent

Psychiatrists claim that a person needs a drug to combat their chemical imbalance in the brain which is causing a persons mental disorder. However, the concept that a brain-based, chemical imbalance underlies mental illness is false. While popularized by heavy public marketing, it is simply psychiatric wishful thinking. As with all of psychiatric disease models, it has been thoroughly discredited by researchers. Diabetes is a biochemical imbalance. However, as Harvard psychiatrist Joseph Glenmullen states, the definitive test and biochemical imbalance is a high blood sugar balance level. Treatment in severe cases is insulin injections, which restore sugar balance. The symptoms clear and retest shows the blood sugar is normal. Nothing like a sodium imbalance or blood sugar imbalance exists for depression or any other psychiatric syndrome. Psychiatrists do not draw blood or perform spinal taps to determine the presence of a biochemical imbalance in patients. They merely observe the patients and announce the existence of the imbalances. The purpose is to encourage patients to take drugs. Bad past/ putdowns,rejection/ father gone lets other things start. Anorexia, cutting, OCD, anxiety, panic attacks, hearing voices, psychic dreams can all come from a tramautic past. Its opens doors to the negative and they start to dwell closeby. They have problems not you. Mens counseling is folly to Gods ways. 1. Read "Emotional abuse " websites see how people think. Read about 40. 2. Google "Deliverance Prayers "- stops sadness. 3. Google "Sinners Prayers "- makes a path to God 4. Google sites about "Bullying ". 5. Diet and Depression sites.

People at a college party or a bar are there to socialize, laugh, etc. They aren't there to discuss serious subjects like physics and theology. Those sorts of discussions normally take place in other venues among people who are interested in those topics. For a person to be socially successful he/ she needs to be able to converse with others on a variety of topics from current events to life in general to politics and so on. There are many women who are attracted to "brainy " men but that doesn't mean they are going to share the man's passion for his career field. And if you were working for the government or a government contractor and had secret security clearance you wouldn't be able to discuss your work with a companion, anyway. So think about cultivating less specialized interests that a companion would be more likely to enjoy with you - in addition to your career field.
