It’s just a guess from what I’ve seen lately…am I correct though?
I’d bet my moving parts it is.
Hahaha, then yes, perhaps you should do that. It may be for the best.
-hugs you-
-hugs back- Just tryin’ to keep the peace my friend.

The feeling’s mutual…
Anyway, thanks, Miss Carrera…
I think my largest gear grinder is myself. I’m always upsetting someone or saying something bad. No matter how many times I apologize or try to make good, I’m just…such a jerk.
Oh come now. I may have come out of nowhere like a phantom of the opera, suddenly approaching this forum by digging a hole under the board and popping out when you all least expect it, but I can say that we may all have trouble sometimes being jerks.
The key here is to learn from your mistakes. For example, I struggled for years with my aspergers, not understanding social cues and accidentally insulting people. However, I learned from my mistakes, and made less each time. As I grew up it became significantly easier to communicate without angering anyone.
As well, I may be spouting the words that a schoolteacher may have given you in 6th grade, but try to read what you write before you post it. ask yourself: Does this make me look like A Jerk? Will I make them angry?
Misunderstandings do happen, and in that case, you must apologize and explain it as soon as possible. The longer you hold off from apologizing, the more difficult it is for you to reconcile easily with them as they become more entrenched in the opinion that you were being a jerk to them.
You have Asperger’s? Awesome! I have it too. But, I really don’t mean the things I say. But I’m an jerk. Even my mom says so. I have some sort of problem. I can’t have friends, or even try to, because I can’t avoid making them mad! I really want to die sometimes. I don’t want to kill myself, but I wish I would…die somehow. To make this cycle end! I just don’t know. I don’t know.
Eh, that sort of thinking is very bad. Things, Virginia, will only get better as you get older. Generally things tend to normalize as you grow up. You can’t help yourself being a jerk, because its difficult for yourself to understand better. Still, it really depends. I would say you need friends that understand the difficulties you face and are really more light hearted. It’s always a great quality to have and it can make them much more understanding of your unintended insults. Unless you’re hounding them with all sorts of insults as soon as you meet them, you’ll do fine.
Thank you. I really don’t mean most of what I say. I only really have 3 or 4 friends I can talk to in a deep serious discussion without accidentally upsetting them. I thought I had at least one of those great friends on Pixar Planet, but I was wrong. Maybe you and I could be great friends eventually.
Yes, I would certainly look forward to it. That’s what forums are for, really. Discussion and making friends. I am sure that I would tolerate any accidental outbursts. After all, I have dealt with them before. Anger is an unfortunate part of life and can come in short bursts. If I were you I would look into stress balls or something like that to relieve either anger. If the stumbling on yourself to anger other people is the problem, perhaps you could look into writing drabbles and the like. Helps you to better understand yourself.
aw, iv, you’re not a jerk. everyone has their moments, but i’m really sorry you feel that way! D: in fact, you seem like one of the nicest people here. okay, i’m like the worst consoler /ever/ but i hope you get what i’m trying to get across here because i fail with words. forever.
here’s a gif (sorry i couldn’t find a better one, lol.) :'DD
because i’m ~totally~ not obsessed with gifs. or tangled. IDK WHY YOU WOULD THINK THAT.
IV: You’re not a jerk. And personally, I think you’re one of the greatest people I’ve ever met online. hug
Methuselah, you put the words more beautifully than I do. Welcome to the Asperger’s group!
Thank you. Aspergers has been a bit of an interesting thing for me as it has managed to make me think differently and has both downsides and upsides. Honestly as long as you come to grips with social problems you’ll be fine, I think.
My step-mother has always grinded my gears. Always.
Ah… the wonders of animosity and covert sniding… Frankly I wish the ‘Foe’ button doesn’t exist unless it is extreme bullying, in which case us Mods would have taken care of the offender already.
Why can’t we be friends, everyone?
Wow, as I said before, there is an incredible number of members with Aspergers.
Maybe people with it feel attracted to Pixar!
