I straight up don’t understand the things people get mad at me for, but they always say I started it. I hate autism

Bad mental health week. Accidentally alienated my only friend because he was trying to be nice but I felt like he didn’t hear what I was saying and I kept talking in circles.

I don’t think therapy is an option because I can’t afford an involuntary commitment. I looked it up, and if I get lucky and they send me to the cheapest hospital, the first day will wipe out my savings. It’s a minimum 72-hour hold, I’d be ruined.

Also I didn’t even get my library card because I didn’t realize the library closes early on my day off 😢

Just trying to bury myself in overtime so I don’t have time to mess my life up.

Y’all ain’t wrong, but I’m more curious about Germany. Is it much of a thing there? I tried googling and only found this incident.

I still swear online, but I try not to do it aloud anymore because I accidentally dropped an f-bomb in front of a customer. I’m not bothered by them, and I don’t get why other people are, so I don’t think about it and get careless.

For me it was SpongeBob. I would have the blood of thousands on my hands right now except I liked SpongeBob and he’s nice so that meant I had to be nice.

Oh shit, I picked up “per se” from Animal Crossing as a kid and never questioned it.

In my defense, Rover is a fucking weirdo, you’d never use a phrase you learned from him to try to sound smart.

Going back to work 🥲 Stores don’t close for the weekend!

Today’s my actual day off and I’m planning to grab a library card in my new town, though. Looking forward to that!

Interesting. I did CBT for a couple of years and it was mostly about reframing extreme thoughts— eg you catch yourself thinking “I’m unlovable” and remind yourself it’s more like “my last two relationships ended poorly”.

It wasn’t exactly what I needed but I didn’t see much potential for harm. Is there more to CBT than what I did, or are there situations where that type of thinking can make things worse?

Maybe that CBT is also harmful to neurodivergent people.

Found a couple geocaches for the first time! Mostly sticking to micro caches until I build up a little collection of stuff to hide in the bigger ones. It’s a new hobby so I don’t know if I’ll stick with it, but it’s fun so far.

It REALLY depends how well you know each other.

I’ve had a friend transfer me money when I said no, and my ego was wounded but I didn’t go hungry.

I’ve also had people pick screaming fights on my behalf when I wanted defuse the situation, publicly blame others for a relapse I didn’t want publicized, and refuse me any privacy when I was depressed, constantly telling people that I was about to kill myself. 😐

Notice I don’t call them friends anymore, just people. They didn’t know my situation well enough to know how to act on it, but they had to be heroes.

Me trying to explain to my mooching family that my rent is due for the 36th month in a row.

I also hate that quote, but mainly because the idea that your character is determined at birth is so, so stupid.

Why would you judge a willow person if that’s just what they were? Hell, why would you be proud to be an oak person if you had no say in the matter? It’s basically saying, “my few admirable traits come from genetics. I never actually bothered to hone any skills”.

Unfortunately this type of argument falls on deaf ears because people look down on others for simply being what they are all the time. But it’s fucking stupid.

Fuck you OP

Where’s that tweet where an anti-vaxxer used the bubonic plague as an example of a disease that went away on its own.

Yes, I’ve also read plenty of American comic books. I think tit sleeves would look ridiculous, doesn’t matter how many people design characters who wear them.

They look ridiculous but it’s more the way her shirt clings to them like it has actual sleeves for the tits, I think.
