Asperger Syndrome?

May 05, 2012 12:17

I've been a bit grumpy lately...for social reasons. It seems people run their lives by their reputations and groupthink BS. They would much rather read fiction than say learn something technical for example if they need geek points at all to fit in. They tend to have fan followings and like to gossip and joke a lot with others. I don't quite get all the interpersonal jokes. I can get impersonal jokes but not personal/interpersonal ones. It seems really dangerous to me. I never pull it off like others do. I sometimes really think its not like I have a social disorder, I simply don't learn how cause it can't keep my interest enough for me to want to remember it all. I think if I tried really hard, I might be able to. I might seem selfish for not wanting to but I just don't.

In any case, I sometimes think it's not quite so much true that I have a social disability or am anti-social, it's more like I'm immune to some really pathological disorder of the masses. I don't want to sound arrogant but that's really what it seems like. I'm not implying greater or lesser intelligence or points on any scale. I'm just saying, I don't feel affected by this "keeping up with the joneses sickness" or "Common Groupthink Bullshit Syndrome". I know I'm not the first to think of it. I can remember reading other stuff like this. So really, my horrible horrible disease...you know what it is? It's Common Groupthink Bullshit Syndrome Immunity. I have other rare immunities. (CCR5 for example which is really fortunate given that I'm in that risk group too). I realize some people who are in the minority tend to resent this about me, that I am immune/so lucky or not affirming them...but it's not my fault. I have a mixed bag of minority and majority cards. Yes, I'm white and male but I'm also gay with CGBSI and CCR5. Some minority cards make one a bit of a special snowflake I know....but don't worry, I'm still carrying all those (mostly useless) majority cards. Maybe the lucky happy person in todays society or happy go lucky one is the socialite who has all the right (usually majority) cards even if diseased. I think I'm not the only one with "pride". The masses to this day are very proud of their disease, this CGBS.
