Mental Disorder/Illness

[Edward]

I can't stand being touched at any time. Often people will put out there hand to your back if you're about to walk into them, and I hate it. I don't blame them if I was about to hit them, but I can't help but hate the feeling of being touched.

That's depressing.

No sneak-attack hugs4u?

What do you call it when you're obsessed with a girl?

I don't know, but I have this one too....

Fortunately, New Zealanders aren't so big on hugging. I had a few attacks while in the US, but otherwise I'm ok.

Yeah, I've been angry in school and a teacher has put his hand on my shoulder as he walked past (not in a pervy way...) and I stood up and punched him. :/

Well, violence is never called for. It sounds to me like you have a very short fuse, which as far as I'm concerned is a far bigger problem than OCD or insomnia.

Autistic for sure

I can't stand certain closing only closing one at eye at a time because it feels like I'm not balanced. lol but it's true.

I had that exact problem from 5-7 years old. I also couldn't stand closing a single eye. However, I grew out of it.

I also used to think (and sometimes still today) that everything needs to be in intervals of ten. I'd tap my index finger once on a table, then I'd want to tap it nine more times to get it to ten. Next I realized it wasn't balanced and tap the rest of my fingers 10 times. I still do this quite a lot with my fingers, though it's not a complete urge.

I believe that's called a crush. It's a very rare and severe condition. I recommend you go find professional help immediately, as a crush can be life threatening.

I did a post earlier... but know I realised that all cubers got autism (you know the "more than 1=EVERYONE"-rule.. right?), socio-something... and people talking about OCD x'D

so am I really the only one here with "Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Non Otherwise Specified"?? (yeah, it's a delicously long name ^^)

I do stuff like that too. It all needs to be balanced, but not in intervals of ten.

 

[miniGOINGS]

Yes it is and let me make an announcement, this thread with the help of mini goings has helped me to decide, Im not going to hide, hello world I'm a sociopat and You can ban me or flame me or send messages because I don't care being a sociopath, I dont think that I should hide what I am

You're very welcome, I'm glad I could help.

 

[xXzaKerXx]

Well, I can't help it. It's easy for you to say that it isn't called for but I can rarely control my anger.
Don't say 'stop being a douche, ofcourse you can control it...' I can't.

LOL same here i almost always lose my temper and take a longggggg time to cool down

Why I love cubing

I have Asperger's. I'm very bright and dedicated but I've never really been good at anything.

Even though my solves are very slow (over 1 minute), I feel like, for the first time in my life, I'm finally good at something. I finally have a hobby that I both enjoy and excel at.

My times might not be fast but my passion for the cube is huge. I love solving because it liberates me from the expectations placed on me by society that I will fail because of my disability. I love learning new techniques (I know F2L but I suck at it, I'm working on 2 look OLL and PLL).

My goal with cubing right now is to be sub 1 minute. I only use Rubik's brand and, like I said before, my f2l is slow so it might be hard, but I know I can do it.

Ultimately, I would like to be a 15 second solver. It would really be delightful to finally master something and to finally be able to impress people with something.

 

[Frubix]

I also have Asperger syndrome, I don't want to make you jealous or something, but in my class I was the best in sporting, at gym everyone chose me as first, and I was one of the best in math, it felt good to always win, and be the best in almost everything, but on the other side I wanted something where I wasn't the best in or not even close, then I found cubing(you can read my story about why I began cubing in the thread "Why did YOU start cubing?"), now I finally found something where I can be challenged in, and I get to share this hobby with other people, and that's why cubing makes me happy.

Yeah, thanks. That was really considerate of you.

Waddya know, I have AS too. I've been cubing about 2 months and I'm getting frequent sub-30 solves, just by using a better cube (and lube). I excel in Maths too (I'm not the best, but I'm up there). I am (as far as I know) the best at my school in cubing, and I want to get even faster. The thing I like most about cubing is that you don't just get it in minutes. You need to EARN sub-20, and that is what I aim to do.

I am also the fastest cuber from my school, the other 2 cubers from my school are girls(cubists), one does it in about 2 minutes, the other one in about 30 seconds and I do it in about 19 seconds

I solve at around 25-30s depending on the day, and only have a few sub-20 solves, and my mate solves at around 35-40s and has only one sub-30 solves. But he can solve a 4x4 and I can't (cuz I don't have one yet).

 

[SnipeCube]

I like cubing because it is something that not a lot of people know how to do. I used to bullied a lot by abunch of people at school. It got really bad. For some reason I tried to be like them. In the cool crowd. I would try to do athletic things. And other things like that. Eventually it got so bad, that I didn't care anymore, not about school, things I liked, or even life in general. My grades dropped a lot. And I started just not talking or hanging out with anyone. I just stayed home. Literally no social life. I decided I would try cubing. And I immediatly fell in love with it. I wound up switching school, after one really bad incident that I don't like talking about. And things got better, my grades went up, I started talking to more people, and I was still cubing. I knew that, with that one thing, I was better than those people who treated me like dirt. Thats why I love cubing. And hopefully I always will

 

[Himandthatguy]

I like cubing because it allows me to release any stress that I might have. I can metaphorically place solving the cube to solving any problems I might be having that day. In this way, I find cubing to be an extremely gratifying experience.

 

[Frubix]

I forgot to tell something in my first post in this thread, cubing also makes me happy because it liberated me from gaming more than an hour each day.

CBC was cured from heavy drugs by cubing.

No he wasn't, it was thanks to a rehab center.

Like Frubix said above, cubing really helped me stop gaming. I used to be super addicted, I played competetively, and spent most of my time gaming. When I started to cube, slowly I began to get bored of it, and now I haven't gamed seriously since about 5 months.
