It seems as if feelings are a mystery to you, the idea that
a person's feelings change. Each emotion always seems to
be the absolute reality for you.

Emotions are useless, tree. Emotions have done nothing for me except get me into trouble. I must journey through life forgetting that I have Emotions. No Emotions, no reason for someone to say I'm doing/saying something I'm not supposed to. I'm making nonverbal a habit too. Words are just as pointless.

People use words to tell stories.
The stories that people tell themselves are
the way that feelings arise.

They also use words to destroy people's lives and sanity. Why should an Aspie bother using words if nobody's ever going to properly understand them, or comprehend them? Humans are all inherently evil, and they only care about being above everybody else. It does not matter if you are someone's mother/father/brother/sister/aunt/uncle or whatever. I know what life is about now.

It's not about surviving, it's not a test to get into Heaven or "the next life" or whatever crap someone thinks. It's not about living life to the fullest, that's a fantasy nobody will ever get to live.

It all boils down to one thing; kill, or be killed. Stomp, or be stomped. Be better than everyone else or be at the bottom. In this world, only one thing matters, and that's who the last man standing is.

That sounds like the story of someone who has suffered deeply. I am hoping for a glimmer of hope.

There is no hope for me.

I believe in your strength to overcome difficult things regardless.

According to my family, I'm not strong. I just show my ass.

You’ve made it this far through terrible treatment from your own family. There is great strength in you. They are wrong.
