Options to Serve the World

Hey, Mosheh Thezion and Zephyr!

Thanks!
Or is that a good thing?

You're right.

It's all of

• obsessive compulsive disorder
• deep depressiveness
• tiredness regardless of any rest

together, each intensifying the others.

Yes.

Thanks! Done.

Not sure how much is many but for friends it's never too many.

At least if people want to learn. ...Could also help with lectures to free up time for professors so they could discuss the more esoteric stuff with me.

Yes. Have learned most on my own, still doing it every day as much as health permits.

Thank you for the links, Zephyr!



Hope to talk to You soon.

Reading your description, it seems you may be autistic.
It's much more common than most people think, and can be accompanied by higher than normal intelligence which can mask the condition.

Asperger Syndrome is just another milder form of autism. Sometimes it comes with a degree of OCD, but since it is characterized by stereotypical and repetitive patterns of behavior, it can be misdiagnosed. I had a similar experience in childhood, and only discovered about Asperger Syndrome on my own about two years ago.

Hmmmm... Zilch, I'm very OCD myself, but I think I agree with some of the other informal "diagnoses" some have given here. A lot of the symmetry, retracing of letters, trying to explain "dilemmas" of sorts to parents sound very familiar to me. However, some of your other emotional quirks and feeling that you can sense certain things strikes me as characteristics of maybe a personality disorder like schizotypy.

But I'm not a psych major any more, so what do I know?

Greetings, Spidergoat and Volpeculus Sagacis!

Psychiatrists have noted that possibility. Some symptoms don't fit, though...
Have no communication problems unless being physically agressive is considered a social skill. Was very conversational when younger. My mother says, "You can talk to everyone, small children and adults alike.".
Adapting to new situations easily.
Am interested in everything that can be thought about creatively, deeply and widely.

Is not wanting to hurt anyone an illness to be cured?

What exactly do you mean?

When asking a psychiatrist about the OCD leading to something involving actual hallucinations I was told, "A potato can grow indeed but it will never become a rutabaga. ...And so it is with obsessive compulsive disorder and schizophrenia.".
...But if one actually has such then could they really know.

Me, too. Every autistic person is different. It's not the ability to communicate exactly, in fact the autistic person may have a great vocabulary, and not know that their communication is not appropriate in every situation. Not knowing how to react to physical aggressiveness could come from not being empathic enough to realize the other person's motivations.

 

Hey!

Was concerning being physically agressive oneself.

 

Zilchonymous,
You say you can talk to people with no problem, however autism is sometimes depicted as a problem in explaining things to people, perhaps you perceive something that you might believe to be a complete realisation, however explaining that realisation to "Normal" people you'll find difficult.

for instance how many times do you re-read and re-write your posts before posting? Do you find sometimes if you are posting about a point of view or a response that you are more likely to realise your view is too sophisticated or elaborate that you delete the post before posting it?

No matter what you believe you suffer from just remember that your imagination can be strong in the sense that if you believe the symptoms suggested or even an illness exists then it will be perceived you suffer symptoms or an illness.

Personally I would suggest not to worry about "diagnosing" the "problem" just concentrate with getting on with your life as being happy and having a future is more important than chasing things that "Upset you".

 

Greetings, Stryder! Thanks for your post!

Can be.
Not sure myself but a speech therapist( not received therapy ) has told me, "You can express yourself very well.".

Analyzing every detail( phrasing , structure , ambiguities , possible misinterpretations , ... ). Making small modifications to most posts. That's because of perfectionism.

Not happened thus far.

Yes, you're right. Taking that into account.

The problem seems to be known already.

A good idea.

 

I think it's a common human trait occassionally to misjudge another person's level of knowledge in an area and say something they don't understand.
