I guess what I am asking is if an addiction has only positive results for ones life why is it a bad thing?
We are all addicted to oxygen, but too much oxygen will kill us.
aspergers and vaping.

The ones I have tried in the past not so much for me.
brother, I have 8 inside house cats --- well versed in cats
I could be way off base (probably am) but your fear of going to the head croaker may be that you are afraid that you are some rare breed that doesn't fit in with anyone. You may fear they will tell you that you are not one of us.... Something along those lines -- No worries Lord Cromwell because I will bet my eye teeth that you are. Not only that but I spotted you long before you ever got involved with the rest of us. It takes one to know one.
Ahh but perhaps I am also being afraid of fitting in somewhere. It would be a totally new experience.brother, I have 8 inside house cats --- well versed in cats

After a lifetime of fear perhaps the only thing I do not fear is fear itself?
I am perhaps bassackwards?
Ohh and my little furry buddies live outside.
tisk, tisk , tisk --- Lord Cromwell, you already know the answer to that question --- it's summed up in one word known as "balance" --- too much of anything is usually a bad thing. Too much sunshine will kill you but you can't live without having at least some of it.
Yes indeed Cromwell. You are in fact afraid of fitting in ..... Actually, it is my summation that you are not so much "afraid" as you are inexperienced.......... You have went your entire life with probably hardly any friends (am I correct) and so you assume that you don't know how to fit in. The truth is you don't have to fit in because with our particular problem each one of us is in pretty much the same boat.
of course you haven't Cromwell ... none of us have because a portion of our brain is handicapped and hence our social skills and other factors are out of balance........ But, that's okay too because now you know that the scoop is and has always been.
Ohh I have always had a handful of good friends I could trust. I tend to drive myself away from them though. I never could open up with them, afraid of running them off I suppose? But then I run off... Not their fault and many cannot understand why I do not come around any more...
I never had any fair weather friends all were good people, far better than I.
I think we all do that though. It's almost like a constant tug of war. People are kind and friendly and as humans we want to be close to people. . . but then there's always that fear that they'll realize you aren't who you say you are, or you don't fit there, or you're just faking it. . . so the options are that either they find out who you "really" are and they run off, or you run off to avoid being hurt. . . so you run off. . .
It takes some really good friends to put up with that tug-of-war game. . .
yes Cromwell... it always comes back to that -- everything does and will continue to do so... You are doing fine Cromwell, at least from what I can tell --- when I first found out about all of this junk after living a life assuming that I merely had a simple anxiety disorder, I was not in too good of shape. I was weirded out too put it mildly. I was depressed, bewildered and everything all rolled into one. Then the denial kicked in and suddenly I adopted the "Nope, I couldn't possibly be like that" type of attitude. I have slowly been accepting it though and so I am just rolling with it like I do everything else in life.

I guess that is why all my friends have been good people.
Other people have commented on what a great bunch of friends I have. I suppose I could never call someone a friend who I believed might stab me in the back?
I see so many people with "friends" that i would not even want to associate with at all.
Finding out about being an aspie was like a light turned on in a dark storage room. there's the initial "Oh hells yes, I can SEE" and then that "OH, CRAP WHAT IS ALL OF THIS STUFF?@?!?!"
Any friends that I ever obtained when I was younger were usually the outcasts of society.... I know now that it was because those were the only type of people that I felt more comfortable around. They didn't look down on me or judge me.
