I think your existence is negligible in terms of world quality.

Since you do exist though, I think it should stay that way.

I wouldn't dismiss aspergers so quickly. Maybe not full on aspergers, but you definitely have at least a mild case. For example, are you aware that a thread like this makes people uncomfortable? Now that I've told you it does, do you agree?

To answer your question, you don't seem anywhere near as annoying these days as you did when you first exploded onto this forum.

Does it for you? o_O

Erm no I wasn't aware of that whatsoever... Now that you say it though I can kind of understand that. That being said I don't have enough symptoms for asperges.

^^ Pretty much this. You're just... weird. I can't trace you out at all.
Discussions usually have two sides -- the For's and the Anti's; but with you around there enters a third side: one that's yours and yours alone. Both the For's and the Anti's jump on you to try to figure out what the hell is going on with you, and neither ever manages to pin you down. So just being weird and engaging makes you a lightning rod for everybody's attention.

Consistent unexplainable weirdness is annoying.

Yep, I'm OK with that. I do seem to have some quite unique outspoke opinions on here... I'm not sure why it's that way but it is...

Yeah, that's what I mean. Mild case, you didn't realize it but once pointed out you can see it.

I realized I didn't actually answer you...the world isn't better off without you.

Yeah it's a spectrum disorder, everyones on the spectrum, I might just be a little higher than most others.

I realized I didn't actually answer you...the world isn't better off without you.

Thank you.

Only slightly, because I'm pretty sure he isn't really asking if he should off himself.

Wait. Now I'm confused, you're saying that If I was asking if I should off myself you wouldn't be uncomfortable, but if I'm not asking that you are?

Everyone hates everyone here and everyone thinks everyone else is a douche. Everyone here thinks their opinion is "educated" and that everyone else it out of their mind if they don't agree with them.

Who gives a shit what other 'internet people' think of you if you have fun here - don't worry about what other people think.

Don't worry dude, If I was worried about what other people thought of my presence on this forum I'd have left a long time ago.

I'm just interested in an objective opinion on my life's worth.

No HAL the world is not better off without you. That's a very dangerous line of thought. If you need to speak to someone PM me! I know you said you aren't really there but you made this post. I know you are in a manic state and so post a lot of shit both stuff you really mean and other stuff not so much but still this is a dangerous line of thought. I know I've been there. There are lots of haters on here and in IRL try not to listen to them too much. Most are just trolls poking away at every and any "weak" spot they perceive to get a raise out of anything. It matters not to them who you are, or what your problems are, only that they get a response out of you. You mentioned seeing a psychologist, how is that going? I hope you find some medication that you find you can stay on. Again if you need to speak to anyone never fear to shoot a PM my way!

You aren't worth anything to me (no offence) but I doubt the world would be better off without you. You don't sound like a drain on society. You don't sound like you are taking someone else's life. Nor do I think you would. If the world were to be better off without people I would go for the people who would take another's life first. Then people who just use the resources of those around them. If you are self-sustaining and not hurting anyone I say the world should keep you.
