I believe many forms of social disorders is the brain attempting to fix or make sense of things. When one is depressed, the mind is trying to invoke deep thought and keep the body away from the problem. I dunno, the mind is too complex to comprehend. The one thing I do know is that too many emotional feelings/episodes are being tied into disorders unnecessarily.

You bring up a VERY good point Spring Chick, "LIFE ISNT FUN" in life there are a few certain things that need to happen (i am speaking on behalf of myself I dunno about any one else) firstly, you always need to do what you want to do (I mean if your not doing something because you want to, then why the hell are you doing it?) Second, You dont need to be working, working is just a mechanism set up buy our government to give them power, dont be a slave and get caught up in the governments game (Yes, I know I'm a Hypocrit but so is everyone else, so it doesnt matter) and third and MOST importantly, enjoy your surroundings, enjoy the beauty of whatever it is your consider beautiful, there is nothing better than enjoying beauty (which can be described in countless different ways).

By now who knows what you guys may be thinking but let me finish, As you can probably tell, none of those things I have just talked about can happen in todays society, everyone seems to think they cant just do whatever it is they want when they want, I refuse to be a slave of this society, if I cant do what I want, then fuck working for it, I would rather die than be a slave to get what I should have in the first place, but its probably just been humanity doing it to ourselves, humanities hunger for power is what will ultimately be our down fall, and dont think it wont happen either, there is a begining and an end to everything, thats just how nature works. (damn humanities hunger for power, and their greed as well)

Now, on to the topic at hand, do I think I have any mental "disorders" well yes and no, (depends on your perspective and I will go ahead and assume both) yes, to you people (society) I probably have some sort of mental "disorder" but I have never gotten any diagnosed, but no I dont think I have any mental disorders, I think its everyone else that has the disorder, well not EVERYone but the majority of the people that make up this society, but who am I against the beliefs of an entire society, heh.

Sometimes I stress to much and complicate things, sometimes I'm just cold and ignorant and doesn't really... well, think of others. I dunno, never had serious depression or mental scars even though I should have looking at the past, maybe I'll be mentally disturbed later in life, I just hope that what I've seen don't go from parents to kids by blood cause then I'm screwed....

I guess I am not a total mental case but I do have slight touches of schizophrenia (=split personality). But I guess everyone who tries to be himself gets that problem sometimes because being yourself is probably one of the most complicated mascerades possible...

Not to mention that I can have hour-long discussions with myself but I suppose that's a good thing for people who want to know more about themselves. Apart from that... I'm "normal" ;)

^well, if thats the way you like it *shrugs*
It's not abnormal to think and therefore somehow talk with yourself. Whats abnormal is when you walk around muttering all the time to someone who's not there..thats when it gets creepy...

I don't think I have Social Anxiety, but I feel awkward around people I don't know well, or people I don't like and know they don't like me either- Like that white puffball commercial says about it, I feel like I'm being judged a lot and I'm worried people are thinking in their heads, "Damn, that kid's a retard" before they even know me. I wouldn't call it a disorder, just a problem I have that I'll either overcome or just deal with it.
