Honestly it seems like nobody knows how to socialize anymore. Everyone around me is just likes to sit in the corner and scroll on their phones. I tried texting some people and barely any of them responded. The ones that did respond only responded to me with one word replies. Tried carrying the conversation and they just read my messages and never bothered to respond. Last time i met up with someone IRL they decided to scroll on their phone the whole time instead of talking to me. Honestly this just makes me feel lonely. Why is everyone around me like this?

22yo autistic girl diagnosed at 16. up until last year i never thought anything of it. that it was just some stupid label given by the doctors to label me as difficult and stuck up.
but now it seems my autism diagnosis wasn't actually a lie. i never had friends that i could get along with like other kids since i was 5 until now. people talking hurts my ears. i didn't really like any of my peers, they were always too outgoing and bright for me. they always did unsoliticed physical contact that made me so uncomfortable i ended up not leaving the house for the next few days. for some reason i cannot handle theatre audio systems anymore. i have to wear ear plugs just so i can watch movies on a big screen in film quality. everything sounds too sharp, like nails on a chalkboard. i cannot maintain eye contact with my psychiatrist and my therapist while talking. i talk staring at my hands while i fold and unfold the paper with my queue number on it (i bought a fidget cube so i can stare at my hands doing useless shit for as long as i need, paper degrades too easy). making exaggerated facial expressions like other people has gotten impossible. (people have gotten worried because my face is unmoving while i interact with them)
i feel like myself in high school where i hated everyone because i couldnt understand them for being so excited and so loud. now im in college and i can understand them more due to reading more philosophical/psychological topics on the human mind. but no matter how much i fucking "nerd out" i can never be truly human and day by day i feel more and more detached with humanity.

i'm turning into a sociopath. the more i have to make myself acceptable to society the more i feel like i am disappearing. this sucks. what if i really disappear and when i do have a chance to be a mother to a daughter, my rhetorical daughter will hate me for being so emotionally flat/empty/dead inside?

say that my dreams of raising a daughter better than my parents raised me will never come to anything. it'll hurt and i'll cope with that but, there are some days i feel so detached and not myself i have this slight unease if i murder family. i already hate my parents so i feel like they'll be the victims foremost if i do lose myself. but what i'm scared of is being so far gone. i commit murder in catatonia and get assessed in court in a catatonic state. no longer human, no different than an animal.

I cannot stand the political climate that exists today. As a leftist, I’m told to hate Republicans. I live in a very Republican area and these people are not bad people. I have a very bad cold and I can’t really breathe and I had to go pick up medication and it was like $100. I didn’t have enough money and I had to call somebody to ask to borrow some money and while I was calling, this old lady overheard and paid $100 for my pills. How can I hate these people when I know that they’re good at heart?

anyone else??? i just find the role submissive and humuliating, i dont wanna post it on nsfw board bc i dont wanna see anons talk about wanting to do humiliating sex acts i have a phobia of

i feel like the ugliest person ever. every single time i see my face in the mirror, i start crying because of how ugly i feel. i’ve been insecure my whole life, struggling with an eating disorder since i was eight, and with my appearance in general. i’ve always known i wasn’t conventionally attractive, but over the summer i was talking to a guy i really liked, and he started talking about looksmaxxing and things like that. i began looking into it, and ever since then my insecurities have gotten so much worse.
then in october, i found out he was dating another girl and had been talking to her at the same time as me. that made everything even worse. i hate it so much. for the past few months, i’ve only gone outside at night because i don’t want anyone to see how ugly i am. i hate going to school so much. it’s horrible. half the time i end up skipping my classes because i don’t want anyone to see me.
i only have one friend, and i don’t know what i would do without her. i’ve told her how ugly i feel, and she always tells me that i’m not, but that’s what everyone would say in that situation. she’s one of the prettiest people i’ve ever seen in my life, and i know she’s my best friend and i shouldn’t be jealous of her but i am.
i don’t know what to do anymore. i honestly feel like there’s no hope and i should just slime myself out. i also think i just need to deal with it for now and hope it gets better once i’m older cause i’m only 15. i obviously want to get a good amount of plastic surgery when i’m older but i don’t think i’ll ever be able to afford it.
idk if anyone is actually going to see this let alone read all of it but if you have any advice on being less insecure or any tips on being less chopped i would really appreciate it

Boyfriend keeps calling me fat and disgusting even though I'm only 28 pounds overweight. Picrel accurately describes what my body currently looks like right now. I'm basically skinny fat but because he's a short skinny manlet he thinks he can talk any type of way to me and calls me fat and disgusting and it only makes me feel more depressed and want to eat even more. The truth is, before I started dating my current BF this year, I got broken up with this really hot skinny guy that I was seeing and he was like the guy of my dreams. I only settled for my current BF now because the previous guy broke my heart real bad. If I really gave a fuck I could be a skinny sexy bombshell Stacy if I wanted to. I've always been pretty and I already used to be underweight in my early 20's, but I simply stopped giving a fuck about my appearance because even when I was a skinny healthy Stacy I still attracted the most disgusting human sludge ugly male bastards known to existence. It was truly a black pill and made me realize that no matter how pretty and skinny I was, I still attract ugly bastards meanwhile other Stacies could attract actual Chads here simply because they're whiter than I am. It's because my hometown is shit and only ugly weirdos want to come to me with my darker skin color and appearance. I'm just glad that I'm not as far gone as my other friend who looks almost like me, she ended up becoming morbidly obese and trooning out on top of that. I keep telling my boyfriend (we're long distance) that eating my feelings is not as bad as how my other friends turned out but he still doesn't listen to me and only accuses me of being fat and disgusting and stealing away his chance of getting with actual "Stacy me". Well sucks for him because the more he talks shit to me like this the more I'm just gonna eat my feelings. Oh well.

Я устал от того, что мужчины И женщины смотрят на меня (русскую женщину) и думают, что мы не правы, в то время как украинские мужчины часто говорят об изнасиловании нас, как только они попадут на территорию на юге. Меня чертовски тошнит от того, что у украинцев хватает наглости называть наших мужчин орками, когда эти чертовы нацисты планируют разводить нас, как запас

I was able to go anywhere by myself. Then I started to have panic attacks. For a month I had panic attacks almost everyday, I was so anxious. I still get them but not that often. And now, I cant go out by myself due to how anxious I feel. It sucks. Cant even go out to grab some stuff from supermarket. Maybe having a support group or someone in the same condition would be good, atleast I could share small things that I did by myself to grow confidence.

I have a cyst in one of my ovaries and it hurts. It is pressuring the organs around I guess. My parents dont care. They tell me that I shouldnt worry and its all in my head. But its hard to not to care about a cyst, especially when it is hurting. Its hurts so bad when I am on my period too. I always had hard periods, the cyst is making it harder. I am scared that the cyst might pop, because when it does it releases toxic stuff in your body (as i know).

I am scared and anxious. I used to have severe depression and now that I just started recovering, I have to deal with those, like a fucking joke
