What would you choose?

StayStrong · 11-07-2009, 09:22 PM

For me I choose Unbreakable courage. We could obtain all of the above if we had it. We could probably get a great job, would eventually find that special someone, and SA could have no where to stand in our way if we had unbreakable courage.

Neptunus · 11-07-2009, 09:23 PM

Unbreakable courage.

hmf22 · 11-07-2009, 09:27 PM

wow, I think these results really say something about people with SA- how no one chose 700,000 dollars. Must of us just want happiness and true love! I think that's really saying something. If nothing else, SA does allow us to understand and appreciate the really good things in life! =]

I also agree with this.

Hot Chocolate · 11-07-2009, 09:40 PM

I'll be an outcast.

I'd say 700k cash. lol.

tvgirl48 · 11-07-2009, 11:27 PM

I'd say to never have SA again. That's what's holding me back from being a normal member of society. It's why I can't get a boyfriend, or friends at all, or be courageous, or make money. Take away SA and you take away my biggest barrier to a happy life.

anomalous · 11-07-2009, 11:37 PM

Soul mate, provided that we're both genuinely attracted to each other and are guaranteed to live happily ever after, til death do us part, etc. That might be asking a bit much, though, even compared to the options on this poll.

Failing that, I'll take the 700 grand. Neither ridding myself of SA nor gaining courage would change a lot of what's wrong with me.

Curb · 11-08-2009, 12:55 AM

Show me the money

sky is falling · 11-08-2009, 01:12 AM

Soul mate, would give me courage.

rumjungle · 11-08-2009, 01:30 AM

I chose unbreakable courage, that is something that maybe I will be able to find within myself if I push myself harder. My life has been very passive so far, so I identify with the living dead quite well.

I think with the right mindset and circumstances all of those things are attainable. It isn't like superhero powers are listed...

Meli24R · 11-08-2009, 02:23 AM

Either to never have sa again or unbreakable courage. Money doesn't last and a soul mate wouldn't give me courage or make me any less anxious. I already have a good friend and I'm close to one family member, but it doesn't matter I'm still a nervous wreck when I'm around other people and in most social situations. Also if I didn't have sa, I probably wouldn't feel so apathetic about life.

odd_one_out · 11-08-2009, 02:57 AM

I would choose the soulmate.

Unbreakable courage sounds dangerous and would cause me to commit foolish and immoral acts.

Getting rid of SA would not sort my life out because I'd still be disabled from autism and GAD. It would also cause me to be more socially odd rather than reserved.

Having 70 000 cash would not substantially improve my life. 70 000 is not too difficult to save anyway for those whose main issue is SA and if they could choose to never have it again.

freshjive · 11-08-2009, 03:00 AM

You're never gonna find your soulmate if you have social anxiety.

You need to love yourself before somebody else will.

odd_one_out · 11-08-2009, 03:01 AM

^ There are people here who have found soul mates while having social anxiety.

There are also people who have been loved without loving themselves (I'm one of them).

Dempsey · 11-08-2009, 03:39 AM

Never have Social anxiety.

Money- don't need
Soul Mate - Don't believe in, and I wouldn't want all my happiness to come from one person anyway. I want a complete life, not a crappy one that I can only tolerate because of one person
Courage - I can deal with a little fear

odd_one_out · 11-08-2009, 03:42 AM

If I found one, I'd still find happiness in myself and my interests.

You edited :P

Wehttam · 11-08-2009, 06:22 AM

what use do I have for $700,000 if I can barely leave the house? not having SA or courage would be nice but then the chances of finding your soul mate to enjoy your new self are still pretty slim...Your true soul mate would understand your SA, and who cares about SA anyway once you've found a friend and life partner, why would you need other human contact? lol

Indigo Flow · 11-08-2009, 06:48 AM

i chose never have SA again, i i think i already have some courage

although i'm poor lol which is why i'm at university to get a better job than all my friends.

And as for the soul mate, well we'll see about that one lol (maybe i could buy one)
