content: Sadly I will not name them as that would be unfair.However I received a parcel today from a member who sent me free of charge a couple of very interesting and usable boards for programming. I don't go out and so I don't meet anyone ( I wont say why, being laughed at is not funny in this instance ), so it is really hard in one respect when someone sends me something for nothing without even knowing me, it leaves me speechless for a while, more so when so many people in one place are so nice, but it means the world to me just for the trust alone. So. Thank you very much for your kindness , you know who you are.

content: I haveADHDand was an "hikkikomori" for years, I hated school and classmates bullied me all time, O preferred to use computers all day and found IRL people too boring and streasing. I got diagnosed a year ago.I'm becoming less shy about my issue and is helping me feel better. More people I trust know it, but people are still quite denialist or unable to understand it. I'm trying to joke about my neuroatypical brain tooMy current vocational training school sucks in several ways, from classmates to bad teachers and broken equipment. I'll say all my next classmates I'm ADHD and try to understand my weird behaviour, but please be constructive and appreciate my good stuff too. If they attack me like the previous ones, then I'll become more evil than them

content: There are MANY very nice people on this forum who go out of their way to help others. I too have had the pleasure of being helped from several here, and I hope to return that favor someday.I, like you, don't go out much either, but it's mostly because of depression and social anxiety issues. So, I am always glad when I get communication from others outside the home, even though I don't really know them.One particular person, and he knows who he is, has made a bunch of 3d parts for me, and never charged me, even though I offered to pay. I'm still working on that project though and waiting for some cash to finish buying parts.There are even threads started about 'paying it forward' where people are giving out there items they no longer used to the younger beginning electronic engineer crowd. I think that is so cool!I have never seen a internet forum site with so many helpful people.On a side note, I think people in general on the internet (gaming is different, people there are just jerks) forums are awesome. Here's an example:My older brother, aquired and sold Mustang Parts to people across the states. He killed himself about 6 years ago. Several people on that Mustang forum he talked on gathered together and made a custom plaque with pictures of all the vehicles my brother helped to get parts for, these people gave the plaques to my mother and his girlfriend and never asked for anything in return. Was very nice of them, and my mother appreciated it alot. But, in real life? Strangers would never do that I wouldn't think. People in real life (well, person to person) are just mean.

content: Deathwish, you should not be embarrassed about any personal issue you have, this forum is indeed full of nice people who want to help others. If someone would make fun of you, it will be of course banned.

content: I am very sorry that you have these things happened. Seriously.In my opinion, it's just your ex-wife that deserves to be called retard, not you: what she did (and what she's doing) is certainly a childish and immature behavior.Just by reading that she used your child's email address to offend you, we can understand that she's trying to manipulate the opinion you have about yourself, and I'm sure you're completely different from what she is trying to get you moving.Try to be strong. I know that inside you have the strength to go ahead and ignore that person. Yes, ignore it: it's the best thing you can do (in my opinion) because you would be able to destroy her attacks.She has power only if you grant it to her. I know this could be a great effort, but I believe that you deserve a better life.Outside our homes there are certainly bad people, but there is also a bunch of people that can be your friend, that's for sure.Your child will probably understand better about his mother when he will grow. I am sorry that you must wait for this.A big hug from Italy.

content: You have more chance of people making fun of you because you're Welsh rather than anything elseSeriously, it's your own personal issues, you shouldn't feel like you NEED to share them, but likewise, you shouldn't feel like you CAN'T if you want to, most of us know someone with illness or disability, even if it is the person themselves, and would hopefully never make fun of someone else's misfortune or illness or disability.And if those trolls do get through then the moderators are quite quick on their feet to ban people and their comments are worthless in any case because nobody would agree with them.You may have noticed that most people on this forum are more than happy to help others out, whilst expecting nothing in return, it is a serious commitment in trust (that you are not taking the proverbial), but you won't find a better bunch of electronic gurus than on here
