how does one seperate themselves from mentally subnormal people?

[nana yaw II]

My sister is starting to annoy me.

 

Everyday at home i get whining due to her illogical and warped mental processes. Yesterday I went out to town and asked if she wanted anything, and she said she wanted a sandwich. When i got back i gave her the sandwich and she moaned that i didn't get her a pack of chips with "the thing". i asked her what "the thing" was and she just got silent and started crying. it's like this all the time and i only go home on weekends lol.

 

I think she has autism, but can i go home from college and be content in my house, since it's my house as much as hers?

 

I'm losing patience for mentally subnormal people now.

Insufficient information to formulate a cogent response...

 

Is your sister mentally ill or retarded (officially diagnosed)? IMO, that has enormous bearing on how you "deal" with her.

 

I imagine numerous intellectually superior people suffer my existence daily. I do try to bring as little misery into their lives as I possibly can The message here is that everything is relevant to everything else. You fit in somewhere....

she certainly acts like it. how exactly should i deal with her?

 

I think I hold a right to disassociate with mentally subnormal people; i can't help it it's how i think and reason. it's who i am.

Where do I fit in? lol... I just don't like mentally subnormal people, that's all.

[mark982]

if your sister has mental problems, from birth or otherwise, i think you should be cutting her some slack.she can't help the way she is. alot of us on here would give anything to have a sister or brother back, no matter what their problem.

[Storyrider]

Well, mentally sub-normal people are often quite affectionate and warm-hearted, so that should separate you from them quite nicely.

[Trialbyfire]

I have much sympathy for people who are diagnosed to be mentally handi-capped.

 

I have no sympathy for people who aren't mentally challenged but act like it because they're too lazy to improve self.

[LucreziaBorgia]

From reading your other threads, I don't think it is your sister that has any mental problems. I don't think you do either necessarily, but you do come across as having Aspergers/high functioning autism.

what? self-improvement is normal for all people. who doesn't know that?

lol.... why do i appear unaffectionate and cold-hearted?

You'd think so, wouldn't you? What's your excuse?

[nana yaw II]

from day to day i gain more knowledge. isn't this self-improvement?

[Geishawhelk]

Your off-hand manner and condemnatory remarks make you unusual.

First of all, we need to determine what, precisely you define as normal, sub-normal and above average.

 

You sound very judgemental and critical, yet distance yourself from the fact that it might actually be you who has the problem with inter-action, not her.

 

Nobody here - including you - is qualified or entitled to give you a concrete and definitive diagnosis of what the problem is.

We can only go by what we see 'on the page', as it were, but frankly, your desultory remarks about your sister tell us more about you and your attitude than her state of mind.

lol... to me, it's unhealthy reasoning and judgement.

lol....i'm the most tolerant member of my immediate family....and by a country mile. my mom doesn't like my political beliefs since she thinks they're not in with the mainstream. my dad doesn't like gays, yet i don't mind them at all. my brother dislikes mixing with poor people. as for me, I judge a person on his/her character not their social class.

 

now, given these traits, am i still such a bad person?

lol.... i'm just venting.

[donnamaybe]

Wow, Nana. I have to say, for all the personal attacks against you, you're keeping quite a cool head. I think that speaks well of your mental health myself.

[nana yaw II]

Thank you.

 

Even still, i think medical judgements of mental illness are just the beliefs of doctors. I think, more often than not, psychiatrists just use their own personal values as medical judgements, but such is life, i guess.

[whichwayisup]

why do i appear unaffectionate and cold-hearted?

 

Because you're being really harsh towards your OWN sister. She IS your family and reguardless of her mental health, she's important and shouldn't be sluffed off as the black sheep of the family.

 

You seem embarressed by her. Actually, you seem embarressed by ANYONE who doesn't fit your criteria. Must be hard for those around you to fit into your life. They have to look a certain way, not be fat, must be pretty and good looking, not ugly.. You seem very hung up on this because I've read afew other threads by you.

You must have missed the thread about his cousin possibly being mentally ill, as well.

[whichwayisup]

I think I did. And I also made a mistake, I thought the OP was a woman..

 

Well, some mental illnesses are hereditory. I really hope the OP is aware of this because one day he may have children of his own and since mental illness runs in his family, there's a chance one of his kids could be mentally ill of some form.

i'm a pretty open person in real life, and only judge others based on their character or behaviour.

Yet you've said you'd rather be around good looking and thinner types of folks, than someone who is plump or not great looking...

 

Ah well, each to their own..

.. I dont understand. You were just venting but you still stand by what you initially said dont you? Do you want want any advice? ...

 

I do not know that much about Autism. I do know that with Asperges Syndrome it is important to speak in concrete terms because sayings can be confusing and need to be explained.

 

I find persons who have behavioural problems, especially sporadic violent impulses due to Autism difficult to be around but I think thats a normal response. My daughter went out with a boy with Asperges who is in her class at College. He is an absolute genius but finds it very hard to navigate social situations. Nice lad. What I liked about him mostly was his emphasis on words. He never spoke a lie.. he basically cant. I love people who have learning disabilities. So loving ..

I'm almost 100% sure nana is just winding you guys up. Don't know why you're taking his posts as though he's being serious.
