falling back into agoraphobia Anonymous 122515[Reply]

it is summer once again..

i know it is pathetic but it took so much courage for me to enroll in college after living as a recluse for so many years. the transition was a horrible shock to me and i do not think i ever really adjusted. for some reason i had it in my head that if i could just go outside every day and go to school i would be "normal" again.. i know now that the damage i did to myself is probably permanent and i am never going to be able to live my life as a regular person

i hate the summer time so much. i hate hibernating in my dark room for months until class starts again. i hate class too, but is the only social interaction i ever have. i think i am starting to go insane from isolation..

I'm sorry you're in such a tough place, it will get better. You should seek out more meaningful and interesting/engaging interactions, just going to classes isn't fun..

When class starts again, don't forget to see the school therapist. It's free with tuition.

i am getting more autistic as i age Anonymous 121894[Reply]

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.

the early 20s is when people usually start figuring themselves out, but it takes a while and that process may be longer or harder for someone with autism/social difficulties. there is nothing wrong with being withdrawn or disinterested in popular hobbies/activities. look for things you like doing, appreciate the time spent doing those things, use your time wisely to cultivate your skills.
eventually you'll find like-minded people and form sincere friendships with them, but if you're not interested in that, there's nothing inherently wrong with it either.

if you still live with your parents, try to limit your time around them until you manage to live by yourself. understand people unfortunately will always have certain expectations, but not meeting them doesn't determine your self worth.

focus on what you can do to feel better and build a routine that isn't distressing to you, since you have a lot of sensory issues.
if you truly dream of having a daughter, dont give up on it because of current limitations. but for now you should focus on yourself. once you improve your situation then you can start thinking about that.

being scared of hurting others/going crazy are common fears for people who have gone through abuse. that drives you closer to humanity, not further from it

take care

What is being in love- real love, not infatuated or forcing to try to find the good in a relationship, actually like for you?

Anonymous 122656

>>122655
First, we have to both be virgins. I don't care what modern times has to say, it's not true love unless it's with your first and only partner.
Second, we have to be comfortable talking to each other without having to put on a show, the same way I talk to my family.
Third, we have to both have some sort of life outside of the relationship, which, on the other hand, won't encroach upon it. The relationship has to be the most important thing in our lives, but not the only thing.

I am pregnant Anonymous 122619[Reply]

I found out a week ago that I am pregnant.
I am married, have been for 2 months to my husband who I have been with for 3.5 years now.
I am scared.
Right now I am the sole breadwinner of the house and I don't even make that much money. Enough for bills but hardly enough for anything else and slowly have been draining my savings.
He doesn't work. He had a good paying job but left it to pursue school 6 months ago. And what he is in school for I honestly don't think he has a future in.
Other than the financial struggles, neither of us are ready to be parents.
I think I could handle being a Mom, but I do not want to be a Mom. I am not ready for a lifetime commitment yet. I wanted to enjoy being newleyweds longer.
He is not ready to be a Dad. Emotionally immature.
The reality is slowly dawning on me on how hard this will be for us and I am really distraught. We are broke and I am married to a man who literally cannot handle fatherhood. I am terrified.
At first I thought I would be excited for a baby but I am more scared, mostly because of ny husband being unprepared. I know he couldnt support us but I know one of us will have to stay home with baby all day.
I just dont know what to do.

You should have been careful in picking your moid, nona. First thing you should do is get him to work and earn money. He can do so with school or after quitting but you need him to earn. Figure out the money part first, and then the rest. If not, divorce him and demand alimony. He'll work then, but your kid will grow up without a father which would be sad.

i tried making small talk yesterday Anonymous 122664[Reply]

i'm a confirmed autist.
i know my parents want me to be more social, so i've been trying to at least make some small talk.

last night i went to eat dinner with them.
my dad asked how my day was. i said it was good and asked how his was.
he responded by mimicking my voice in a mocking tone.

i didn’t say anything, and just went back to my room.
i made ramen on my hotplate and went to bed.

this morning my mom told me she called him out for it.
he got pissy and said i was "disrespecting him" with my tone.
then he got angry at her for defending me and left for a while.

i asked my mom why she wanted to be with someone like that for the rest of her life and she just said "relationships have highs and lows."

I'm sorry nona, your father was rude and a jerk to you. If he lives with you in the same house, he must have already noticed that you are a shy person without much social skills, so he is being cruel, but at least you have your mother to defend you. Keep trying, because you need to get out of this house ASAP. Be polite and make people think that you really find them interesting, it makes life a lot easier (I'm schizoid and have a lot of difficulty in relationships, acting like this helps me a lot). But nona, do you work? Do you have any education or anything planned for the future? It's really bad to live with such a horrible person.

college in the fall!
i am very excited to live away from home, but nervous because i will be having two roommates, who i am ~2-3 years older than.

i will be working this summer, as well as during the school year to hopefully pay for additional schooling and maybe living on my own in the future.
i will be studying biology for future biotech work.

i would not call either of my parents horrible people, but both seem to have large mood swings that sometimes catch me off guard.

thank you for the kind words nona, your advice about people-ing is very helpful.

I think I overdid it, but in your text, it seemed like your father was a bit of a pain in the ass. Well, it's a good thing you're going to college, at least you'll get a change of scenery.

Another thing that helps in dealing with people is not giving them too much importance, seriously. Most people are normies who will just pass you by, there's no reason for you to be too anxious about anyone in this world.

At a certain point you'll be old enough that your parents stop giving a fuck about your lack of friends and social inadequacies. Some of us are just incapable.

Demisexual has always been weird to me since I'm bi and it could describe my attraction to men but not to women (I'm just attracted to women normally). I think it's retarded to label this as a sexuality but I don't really know why it's like this for me either.

Anonymous 120842

i would consider myself asexual because i've never had a crush on a real person. people my age often talk about fantasizing about others, but i've literally never done that before. but, i think that the spectrum of asexual identities are way too wide.

Anonymous 122643

I have a super difficult time accepting it, but I'm asexual. Hate it.
I'm a grown-ass woman who's had sex before out of obligation (because I was always told it's just.. what people do in a relationship), and I just was never into it.

Anyone who thinks asexuality is a spectrum is actin' stupid. It's literally the name: you have no desire to have se & you're not sexually attracted to anyone. The end.

An """asexual""" that actively seeks out sex is like a lesbian who exclusively bangs men.
The word "asexual" means nothing now. You can tell someone you're ace and they'll be like "the sex-having kind, or..?" Like… wtf.

I don't really want to be this way, tbh. It's super fucking difficult to have relationships because of it.
Sucks. Boo.

Anonymous 122654

lol I think it’s real but not a spectrum, yeah. and it’s usually a symptom of a trauma or disorder. I knew an asexual who I actually believe to be asexual and she was so, so, so autistic. like… incredibly so. all the others have admitted being horny to me but then insisted they’re asexual. Interesting… maybe you have some issues to work on!

Anonymous 122662

My view is that it is real, but very rare.

Most people who are asexual have either had bad experiences and turned off sex, or they have a health issue. Maybe their hormones or something else is throwing them off.

Humans never made it to this point without sex and making babies so genuine asexuality would be incredibly rare.
