I've noticed that in general, I have a better grasp of how to post
and read ASD... I think for a long time I had trouble with putting the
right perspective on things... I'd get too worked up, too emotional
about certain posts, and at other times, I think I was just in my own
world too much... maybe that was years ago, I don't think I'm in my own
world as much these days... I'd read posts, without getting a sense of
context, perspective, proportion... I guess it's all a balancing act...
I still have too much of an "events" focused way of looking at
things... In high school, I noticed that the more nervous and anxious I
was, the more I'd focus on actions, interaction, events, melodrama,
symbolism... What I tell myself now is that maybe the more calm and
relaxed I am, the more I'll see things in terms of "moments"... I just
want to have a better sense of perspective, proportion and context,
when dealing with ASD, and in general... I guess balance is a good
thing to work on... not getting too emotional, and at the same time,
not being too detached either... I realize these days that not everyone
can always get along... it makes me sad sometimes that people can't
always be friends or get along, but I realize, it's inevitable... when
you have people with all different personalities, temperaments,
backrounds, expericances, moods etc... interacting on an unmoderated
newsgroup, there's bound to be people not getting along, just as is the
case in real life...
