I don't think all people who claim to have autism are autistic Anonymous 121061[Reply]

I know that makes me a bad person, but can't help but feel it. I have autism. I have suffered all kinds of humiliation for being one since I was a child. I can't imagine how they went unnoticed their whole lives, and I really think many just make it up for attention.
I can recognize that I may be speaking from resentment, lack of empathy or envy, but it's something I can't help but feel, as an intuition, and I've always had a wonderful intuition.
Just find it extremely uncomfortable that something that has cost me almost my life, for others is something to make jokes about and be popular, it doesn't sit right with me.

I agree, but only because I think autism can be overcome. I think this because I studied social dynamics and body language cues, and now find it fairly easy to tell how others are feeling (and I've realised that people """without""" autism have as much empathy/capacity to read others as people """with""" autism, which is to say that they miss the mark regularly or otherwise don't care [cf. sociopathy] that they've missed the mark).
I'm still not great at one-on-one conversations (unless it's someone I like), but I no longer feel anxious about having to spend 30 to 60 minutes with another person.

do bad things happen as much as ppl say? Anonymous 120729[Reply]

I have rly low empathy even for friends and I constantly find it very hard to believe that 'bad things' actually happen to people. I've had friends tell me about being assaulted and stuff and even though I don't show it on the outside I am internally thinking 'she is probably lying for attention'. I go through life and people are always really nice to me and they're generally pretty rational, polite, decent, so I find it hard to believe bad things like that actually happen as much as people say they do. Like every person I know seems to say they've been assaulted or something. Is this sort of thing actually normal or am I some kind of sociopath? Or is it just cuz I'm privileged? I can't help but believe people just make this stuff up for attention.

Yes bad things happen. People assault other people mostly in private where they have power over them, not in public where there are social repercussions for not being civil and polite. Just because no one you're close to was a shitty enough person to abuse you when they could get away with it doesn't mean no one would ever do that.

Bad things happen to people all the time, this world is a heckin hell; however some are more sensitive to those events and others don't care.

Anonymous 120732

Sociopath? Not sure - but you've definitely got something and it's probably tied to your privilege (and the tunnel vision that comes with it), your (lack of) self awareness, and (limited) cognitive abilities.

Additionally, horrifying things happen to everyone - yours will come sooner or later.

most people ive met who are low empathy tend to be quite self-victimizing so its interesting to meet someone who isnt. but you said it yourself - ure low empathy. so perhaps even if you did witness someone experiencing abuse or mistreatment, you just wouldnt feel all that much for them either way. so it could be your bias. and people can get manipulated through their willingness to show sympathy i.e guilt-tripping, making excuses, being forgiving and such so you might not put yourself in these bad situations to begin with. but honestly having empathy (as long as you arent a doormat or allow mistreatment) is one of the best things in the world. idk it feels amazing to feel for others

Maybe you'll find this letter Anonymous 120659[Reply]

Hi, I haven't lurked here in ages. But I miss you and maybe you'll randomly read this without knowing this was for you. I don't want to directly bother you so I'm doing this on crystal cafe instead. We're all alive and doing as usual. S finished her degree, I'm still stuck doing my crap diploma at 21 and I'm way behind my batch, supposed to do my internship next month but my credits are worth less than 3 semesters. M's mental state, fluctuates like it always does but I heard her dad is gonna enroll her into a practical college nearby her home in the near future.

My parents are still crap people, I ended my 7 year friendship with that girl on November last year. Not sure if you recall her. Eh, her opinions were shit anyway. All talk but no spine, much less bite.

Actually I think I'm doing pretty bad. It wont get better. Not anytime soon. Still seeing the psychiatrists but at a different hospital this time. Too soon to say if it's worse or better than the one I've been going to for the past 5 years.

A recent revelation I had while journaling was that I probably have C-PTSD from how crap the world treated me and the fact that my autism was diagnosed way too late to avoid the abuse from the people I was surrounded by. So at least it's not Borderline Personality or plain Avoidant Personality. Not entirely a deviancy in my part. Just mistreatment from others my entire life.

Hope you're doing fine and you're healthy, where ever you are and whatever you're doing. If you want, my email is open for you, always. Hope you still have it written somewhere you can access.

Things they don’t teach you in school Anonymous 115819[Reply]

The important things. Like, what am I supposed to do when I, as a married woman who loves her husband, am feeling extremely attracted to a male friend? I wanna suppress my feelings and act like everything is normal but it’s so hard, it’s literally physically painful. I‘m feeling physically sick. Maybe I should cut contact with him, but I know that would really hurt him and I really can not do that. What am I supposed to do? I’m despairing. I don’t know who to ask

I believe that I could accept it, if my husband would love someone else
You never know until it happens to you and it probably won't make you feel great. It's good you are going to a therapist.

I know it's hard, but if you want to save your relationship with your husband it's the best thing to do. You might find yourself hoping to get back in touch with the other guy, but it's for the best.

Partly. Male deathrate in the 30s is conventionally 2x female but the younger age cohort is dying faster at an accelerated pace.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/241572/death-rate-by-age-and-sex-in-the-us/
Age Male Female
15-24 126.9 49.3
25-34 251.2 108.6
35-44 373.3 201.2
45-54 668.4 393.9
You don't really have to worry though, it's typically unmarried and especially never-married men that make those numbers happen.

Keep watering the ideas/plants that make you feel the loveliest love


Here’s a thing that has made me feel so good and is important to me:
Thousands of Polska girls and Belarus girls are covering my NorthAmerican city with graffiti. They’ve somehow clearly gotten the idea to all become collectively like a splatoon. It has changed the energy immensely and really improved the omnipresent feminism quality~level vibe. These girls have religions about ancient euro queens and it really shows, lots of ethereal stuff.. I see so many soulful girls are more comfortable loitering around and making anywhere a party! That’s SO important! Sovl

Cleaned my room yesterday, not just picking up trash and worn clothing in one spot but the whole room and even the hallway leading to my room.
Don't know where this motivation came from but I'm still riding that high, I like it, even opened up the window and just having the crisp smell of nothing felt amazing.
Even this morning after I finished eating I immediately washed my plate instead of letting it sit for who knows how long.
I like this change, how do I get this for other problems in my life, did I subconsciously say "ENOUGH" and actually do something positive for once, is there a way to get more of this, even typing this out fills my head with feel good chemicals, I want more!??!

My father probably has narcissistic personality disorder Anonymous 120988[Reply]

… and idk what to do.
I realized it last time I visited. He had a surgery, I came to help. At the end of my stay he said I didn't help him at all. He constantly puts himself to position of a victim and feels superior at the same time. He enforces his authority all the time. He doesn't use/have empathy. He says weird things, often attacking me and others out of nowhere in the middle of normal conversation. He often talks only about himself, often pursues only his own interests. He manipulates and conditions his love (or at least behaving in a nicer way). He is incredibly arrogant, bumping to people on the street because he won't change his direction, He usually uses an argumentative/resentful tone of voice and even really despises everyone. Everyone but him is a jerk and should listen to him and do as he says and for us. He threatens everybody with God, saying they will be punished, often because they don't behave as he wants.

What is worst, he manipulates me to feel guilty. Therefore, it is hard to go no contact with him. How should I accept that it's okay not to talk to him anymore? Or how should I provide help to him for this disorder?

god damn it, im so in love with my old ass coworker. But he is like so perfect. I just wish he was exactly the same but like 20 years younger. That would be great. He is so sweet yet still like, manly, and he's so helpful and he has long hair… At first I thought he was a boring person but then I realised it was a fun boring. I'm so attracted to him it's insane. I think the best thing about him is… he is a perfect gentleman, I feel like I could confess to him and he'd reject me, and hopefully this insane crush can go away. Seriously he would. Honestly it's so bad I am thinking of moving jobs. I have been head over heels for like half a year now. What's annoying is he doesn't even look old.

I wish we had super realistic CGI and we got rid of actors Anonymous 120914[Reply]

We could have different looking characters for all films.So, where the movie starts I'm not looking at "George Clooney" the whole time.

That is not real yet but I wish it was. I don't care to find out weirdass facts about celebs anymore but do anyway.I don't mind preexisting gay actors, etc. I am cool with it.

inauthentic people give many the creeps. If they are straight up about who they are, many people do not mind and will admire them for being cool.

I am not fond of "femme" gays, because stop…but regular types people are fine.

I like Dracula Untold and would have watched a series of those films. The lead actor was gay playing a family man. I don't care.

Conversely, Allen Cummins, which is an ironic fucked up name, grosses me out. He always acts like some kind of fucking pervert orgasming in his pants. He reminds me of a pedo who would rape someone in their sleep.

Just a few random thoughts I wanted to share.

Don’t agree with your main point but I did love the Dracula untold movie

We already have that. As you can see in actors that are already dead still appearing in movies. We can construct faces onto other faces and those faces can be modified like in for example(in relation to your picture) the squidface guy from pirates of the Caribian.

one of my friends totally dropped me Anonymous 120770[Reply]

as the title says, one of my friends texted me last friday, and decided that we couldn’t be friends anymore. he said that our friendship was “too intense” and he couldn’t handle it for his mental health. this came out of nowhere, and he hadn’t expressed discomfort any time in the past about our friendship and what we talked about. we’ve only known each other since november but we’ve gotten really close in that time, and tell each other about our mental health, personal, and family struggles. i’m not mad that he did this, if anything im glad he’s prioritizing his mental health. but, it just really fucking sucks that he just,,, decided we can’t be friends anymore. i don’t even know if this is permanent. from the way he spoke, i don’t think it is, but i have no clue when he’ll be stable enough for us to be friends again.

on one hand, he’s kind of right? like, our friendship was a bit mentally draining for the both of us. but on the other hand i really miss him. i miss talking to him from when i woke up to when i went to bed. i miss seeing funny videos and sending them to him. i miss talking to him about literally nothing and everything. i think it’s worse because he still like, looks at my ig stories. he doesn’t hate me, we just can’t be friends for the time being.

meet someone who is equally as mentally ill as you, talk from literally when you wake up to when you go to bed, develop complicated feelings for him, "confess" but make it clear that you're not sure if you actually like him (or men at all), tell each other your worst secrets, profit

op here again. i texted him earlier and he left me on read. i sent him another text after that which he didn't read. i hate my life.
