I could see a lack of confidence equating into a lack of self worth and depression stemming from that.

Correlation does not equal causation, but there is defs a relationship between the two in most cases that is very significant.

Depression comes from not having the Confidence to get out there and solve your problems, and free yourself.
Drug companies want you to think its a lack of serotonin or dopamine, just so they can sell you some bullshit antidepressant which makes you not care about your problems as much.

Unless you or someone else is mentally retarded or physically disabled, there is always a way to fix your problems.
most depressed people want a reason to be depressed, like a mental disorder, but the fact is that 99% of the time, its not a disorder, its a lack of something in their life that is causing their depression. You gotta have the strength to act.
In fact, mentally retarded people dont usually have the capacity to be depressed, and most physically disabled people eventually find a way to be happy.

Maybe you just matured. I don't really get the diagnosis for aspergers. It seems like anyone who is shy can be labeled this. I do know some kids growing up that were seriously weird. It came to the point where they were legit outcasted because they almost fueled it themselves. Many of these diagnosis are pretty strange imo. It always does seem like when someone has a problem they look to doctors to ask wtf is wrong with me.
I know for a fact that almost all medication is fucking bullshit. the only medication I can even perceive to be almost purely beneficial would be antibiotics or vaccines.
Anti-depressants are absolutely trash and seem lobotimize the mind. Not to mention the many links they have with increased weirdness. ever try amitriptaline that shit is absolute trash.
Benzos are good for a week then you just become a slave to them and can't function without them because you will get an anxiety attack 20 fold what you had without medication.
opiates are good and all but for long term pain management they just become a crutch and then you become super addicted.
Don't get me wrong they all have a purpose. I really don't like flying unless I'm on a benzo.

I have many times thought I've had a certain mental disorder through seeing symptoms and thinking of instances where they've really stood out. However, aspergers seems like one of the most plausible disorders that I could of had and I too feel like I've grown out of it but some of the symptoms are still there. My mom was even told by a psychologist or some mentor dude for my brother who had really bad ADHD and behavior problems that I was going to have some mental problems later on. At the time I was 4 when he said this, so my mom stopped me from starting school until I was 6 which I do think was a really smart move on her part.
I had always been the weird kid growing up and most common sayings didn't make a lot of sense to me and still sometimes never do. I am always the one to get a joke a little slower than everyone else but I've recently been able to be way more comfortable with socializing with everyone. To say I feel better because of MDMA, LSD, or K is out of my boundaries of knowing, and honestly I feel like it's out of everyone's boundaries unless they were part of a research project. I like to think that they have helped me do things a bit differently but like I said, I won't say that they cured me.
The only thing that makes me doubt the idea of aspergers is that I do have good balance and reflexes. I can't remember if reflexes have anything to do with it but I do remember learning that balance/coordination is a big problem for people with aspergers.
-------------------- Do not let psychedelics allow you to think lower of people who haven't done them or don't plan on doing them because "they don't know the truth". Let your enlightenment acknowledge that everyone is equal and that no one is inferior. This mentality goes against what they are meant for. By the way, everything typed on this account is completely fictional and all for the purpose of entertainment.

When I was 18-19 and going off to college, I basically had a mental break down and lost all self-esteem and confidence. I don't really know what caused this. I think it was a combination of leaving all of my best friends back home and heading off to a new place where I knew absolutely no one, on top of having an MDMA comedown that was indescribably depressing and horrible. I actually think whatever happened there may have permanently damaged me, but I've come a long way since then. I still have some social-anxiety and awkwardness, its not always easy for me to look people in the eye as soon as I walk in a store or something. But overall I've regained quite a bit of the confidence I lost. I've also been able to go back to smoking weed which is nice. Doesn't seem to make me nearly as anxious as it used too. Although I have noticed that if I get high enough, I experienced some relatively intense depersonalize where I begin to criticize myself and the way I act. But I usually wake up feeling kinda refreshed from the whole thing.

That's why I've never taken MDMA before, everybody talks about these harsh come-downs.
And yeah, weed makes someone self-critical really easily
