Thanks ATG.

I don't know how my parents see things. I think they just want me to be happy.

My parents work low paying jobs and I don't see them as losers. Maybe I judge myself too harshly.

I dunno. My parents have lots of disadvantages. They're immigrants and they don't speak a lot of English. They work so hard to put my sister and me through university and I have nothing to show for it.

I just think I should be successful and supporting my parents by now. Instead I still need my parents to support me.

I dunno. Maybe I should see myself as having certain disabilities. I wouldn't compare someone with autism to someone without autism. I'm not saying I have autism, but I do have a lot of problems socially. My pdoc says she's proud of me whenever I go out with friends and don't resort to self destructive behaviour whenever I feel badly.

Maybe I need to live by a different sort of standard.
