I feel home

[Cloudracer]

Where do I start...

It's like coming back from the battlefield like a veteran, after no man's land, and suddenly everything is calm

Hi, carnivorous plant guy, thirties, enjoys metal, diagnosed with ADD severely inattentive a long, long time ago in a galaxy in a different dimension, and a background of failing opportunities, now close to getting work as a receptionnist in a hotel, application I've worked on since two months (the stress).

Doctor diagnosed me with high IQ Aspergers, and the specialist disagreed upon my presentation. But I'm not convinced. I think I mispresented myself and a few years later (now) I'm convinced I have a form of autism, Asp. likely. A few doctors and friends, family (my father is a definite Aspie scientist) are as well. And finally feel like I can be understood.

And apparently I analyze too much which throws people off. I didn't know. I go into the details. In every group I'm the third wheel and I don't like groups. Individually I feel valued, listened to, and I can adapt to the rhythm.

Noise is my hell

Welcome!

I'm not into metal myself but we do have quite a few members here who do so I'm sure you'll find a home in the music threads

Welcome! Plants are awesome. If you had to name your personal top 3 of carnivorous plants, which plants would you choose?

 

[Luca]

Welcome!

I'm also ENFP! You are the first person I've encountered on here with the same personality type as me, I believe!
I'm always hoping to meet more autistic people who are extroverts.

I also love metal and I think carnivorous plants are really awesome!
There are a few music threads on here where I would be happy to recommend metal songs to you.

Hello.

 

[Cloudracer]

Damn, thanks guys! or girls? I was very uncertain about writing here, this helps. I got so many questions but I guess they will have to be answered over time...

So ENFP can actually develop asp's then after all? I was skeptic initially. How flattening! (I make jokes like these all the time)
Thanks, do you play an instrument? I'm in a band, and carnivorous plants are my all time obsession, although life got in between lately.
Yeah, sweet, I'm in for the threat treat thread!

I was skeptical initially that there were many extroverted autistic people as well. But I have met some others.

I play the drums, but I actually haven't touched mine in a while because my schedule hasn't allowed for much recreational time as of late.

What instrument do you play and what kind of band are you in?

I would love to see pictures of your carnivorous plants by the way!

Welcome. I'm a plant person, mostly working with orchids and tropical fruit, but I also find carnivorous plants interesting. "Feed me!"

 

[Rodafina]

Hello and welcome. I hope this is a quiet place of respite for you from now on. Take a few deep breath as you settle in, as you said, you’ve been battling for a long while, but you can rest here for as long as you’d like.

Oh I'm in that game as well - anything tropical really. Got confused for a second about the 'feed me' part, and hence the joke:

Should I... feed you? To my c plants then?

Then I figured you refered from the plants' perspective =P

Thank you very much. It certainly feels odd.
Currently pursuing the hope of getting the official diagnose, and over analyzing why the previous was negative. Speculating speculating...
