Honest opinion: Do you think I've wasted my life?

[Anglo-Celtic]

But is it really his fault he doesn't have friends or a girlfriend? He obviously has issues he didn't choose to have. I've never seen someone with limited social skills turn that ship around. It's just the way they are.

He needs to find his happiness within his limitations. This isn't an insult. We all have our limitations. Can I ever ankle pick like Cael Sanderson? No. Does it keep me up at night? It has but I learned to accept it and find what makes me happy.

Those ankle picks are so sweet it just hurts to watch but I accept the pain and move forward.

I didn't win the Super Lotto, either. Ankle picks are pretty far down the list from social isolation, but YMMV.

I have known people who has vastly improved, but it involved making a serious move to get help. That's why I think seeing a therapist would be great if he can afford it. He's got to learn to stop doing some of the things that really put people off, and that starts with recognizing them. He can improve his life, but he needs to admit he needs help. The church would be a good place to start.

Do you think I've wasted my life?
Do you shrink when I get precise?
Am I optimistic I've half,
Need I rush my apt epitaph?
Should I fret of life's thieving tolls
To the other strife-grieving souls?

Not everyone is dealt natural pocket rockets but RB isn't a low-functioning austistic person. In fact, it's ultimately just his narcissism (and spite, which is for him a byproduct of his narcissism) that makes him unlikeable, rather than any other personality trait. You can get past all the rest. I don't know if he was born a narcissist. If so then it would have been difficult and ultimately unwise for him to have ever married, but I think narcissism develops over time. Maybe he was just shy and awkward as a kid and chose to isolate socially and developed his self-centredness when he was his own universe. We don't know.

What makes you think I'm a Narcissist? I'm very humble and lowly in every possible way. Perhaps I'm a wounded person because of trauma in my life. Mostly, I've been the target of bullies online and its only natural to practice self defense.

I know you seriously believe this. However, it is always wise to be aware of how other people perceive us.

https://survivingnarcissism.tv/the-n...ist-checklist/

it kind of reads like your "things to do today" list.




Being self-enamored, self-absorbed

A strong need for control

Demonstrating low levels of empathy

An attitude of entitlement

Chronically mismanaged anger

Manipulative or exploitive behavior

Feeling superiority over others

Living in an alternate reality

Being pathologically defensive.

I don't have NPD. I was tested. I got diagnosed with HFA which can carry outwardly similar traits.

You exhibit negative traits associated with narcissism. Whether they are due to narcissism or something else doesn't change the fact that they are dislikable and offputting. Other High functioning autistics have been able to overcome them. You can choose to work on these traits or shrug "I am what I am" and nothing will change in your life. You will continue to come off as self-absorbed and unlikable.
