I’ve recently stopped trying to be a social person, I tried for decades, got addicted to alcohol (got sober), and I was always stressed. My only hang up now is feeling like a loser for not being social, not having friends, not being in a relationship. But not having those things is bringing me peace. I missed being left alone, doing my own thing even if it’s doing nothing. I just need to work on the negative self talk concerning societal norms.

The first thought is the conditioning done by life, the second thought is the conditioning done by oneself as we grow to become the person we want to be.

I needed this, thank you.

Weird how autism can’t be the excuse but apparently “always being rude” is. Maybe because I can constantly apologize for my perceived rudeness but not my autism.

Keep checking the phone even though you know you turned silence off…

Might not be casual but I really fucked up an answer yesterday and there’s no reversing the consequences. If I cut my tongue out will that solve it? No, they’ll commit me and still ask questions too quickly for me to write what I mean clearly.

I felt seen when Shoresy said “if you’re not 10 minutes early you’re late”

Same, a few months ago I just started saying “I don’t talk right so forget it”. Idc anymore.
