Thanks for your words of wisdom.
I am quite frankly, tired of people judging me because my brain is wired differently. I've had to deal with people treating me worse than **** my whole life because I'm different. Because I like computers, video games, and books more than people, I had to endure being abused and bullied most of my life for being "different".
I'm not a bad person who goes out using and hurting people by any means, yet because I am a little bit cunning, prefer cold logic most of the time, and have had to do shady things just to survive (not that I wanted to but had no other way to survive since my mother didn't teach me the skills I needed to survive in the real world and I had no help), people sometimes think I'm some kind of sociopath.
I don't have any desire or intention to hurt anybody. If anything, as I said in one of my earlier replies, I care about the majority of people too little to want to hurt them. Yes, wanting to hurt people requires one to care about said people enough to want to hurt them; I don't even have that level of care for the majority of people. I didn't choose to be this way either; I am the way I am because I had to endure such horrific abuse as a child that I was forced to become a bit of a heartless person to survive in the world.
Anyways, the point of my ranting is to help educate those who might be observing this thread so they might realize that maybe having people who think differently than you isn't such a bad thing? After all, if there weren't people like me and the OP in this world, you wouldn't have smartphones, computers, internet, or even a car for that matter.
