Hey folks
Sorry for all of the deep questions recently, I’ve been struggling with a lot and haven’t ever felt comfortable telling it to therapists or councilors, at least not to their full extent. I often feel like my questions or concerns are dumb and unrealistic, or they sound like I am gripping for attention. Sometimes I convince myself the only reason I do anything is for attention, even though I’m aware I do have serious issues. It’s a tough battle, but that’s not what I’m talking about.
So I’ve had this thought for a while, especially after I was diagnosed with autism (even though I am very high functioning) that I am worth less because of my mental hinderings. Why should I be hired or cared for if there is another person who can do it 2 times as fast without complaining or needing special things to get me by. Why should I have friends if all I do is worry about things and become an emotional stresser. Hell I’ve felt like I’ve stressed my therapists out before by being obnoxious. I have this really stupid idea in my head that everybody has a numerical value, but the thing is I never apply it to anyone except myself or people who are better than me. The people who are higher than me have a higher numerical value, which indicates a lack of mental health issues, wide rage of skills including both emotional/relationship skills and also business and work skills. But I am a lower numerical value than those people, because I require more matinence per say. I have too many things that overwhelm me, too many things that stop me from being productive. Too many things that make me worse than the guy who is above me.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, I feel like I am worth nothing, and every day I fight with the idea that my value is pre determined and my fate has sealed itself because of my number. Even though it is a theoretical metaphor of sorts in my head, it feels very real to me, and it hurts.
Thank you for your support on my posts. I try to give in depth dialog, and I hope that my ramblings are comprehensible.
