I really am seeing how difficult it is to be positive when I have the mindset that 'I'll always be kicked down for trying or doing or being'. I am thinking this has to do with way more than how my stepmother treated me. And alot more than Dad being absent as a father. Just due to my worldview...

I want to be alone and not need anyone. I am tired of being hopeful. I am tired of hurting people without even knowing what i did. I am tired of the guilt. I want to live and die alone and in peace. I don't want anymore guilt on my conscience. I wish the people i met, like my friends never met...

this image comes with the description: "I asked an AI to draw a representation of Autism Part 2" If someone does not know how AI generate this images, is by taking thousands of images that have same word descriptions or tags, and generating new images that mix from the database.

I believe Everything happens for a reason. If i lose a friend it was meant to happen. I was masking with her a lot, trying to overcome my anxiety about unexpected situations. But she thrives on unexpected situations and seeks them out, even dangerous ones. I am too stressed to try to fit in...

The universe has no preferences. It does not choose good, evil, happiness, or sadness. And perhaps this is precisely what destabilizes us: the idea that evil can happen without a reason. Without a message. Without a plan. Yet, as human beings, we seek meaning in everything. We need stories to...
