I think you and I are just that different. I know some people need that kind of discipline, because I was one of them. If I hadn't had a strict father and gone in the military, I would be a lot like those whiny spastic shitheads you see on WP. I would have never got my shit together.
Now, I'm not saying I have everything figured out, but I function pretty well on my own in society for a guy on the spectrum.
