try not reading reaper's posts for a week while reading the forum, maybe then things will seem more real lol
i dunno, maybe your expectations are too high?
there are definitely real people here with real issues, i don't think whether you can relate or not should factor into the judgement of that
like you said, you have a unique background for someone in this category. good home, good neighborhood, etc. i would say the vast majority of aspd grow up in poverty, broken homes, gangs, etc. so right off the bat different walks of life, but the condition is more than such experiences.
what are your issues anyway? maybe being so direct/listing isn't your typical style, but it might be worth before writing the forum off, so to speak...
for what it's worth i like your posts and i see that you are real, you just have to be more discerning with others and adjust your expectations to the reality of an aspd forum - which is kind of a contradictory concept if you think about it
i mean what did you expect?
