  • A patron having trouble with her kids asked me if I had any myself. I said that I didn’t and only have nieces as well as nephews. To her, that counted. I still found her question to be thorny, though, because it once again reminded me of what I don’t have in my life. :(

    @Markness
    You couldn't see yourself in as positive a light
    as the person at work saw you.

    You accept negative labeling as appropriate by
    applying the *poor me I lack what others have* point of view
    to yourself.

    Hey Markness do you have a way to do voice calls online? If so, and if you wanna talk, I think I have a little time this evening.

    I see your posts and they are kind of worrisome because it looks like the situation isn't getting better really, and if you want other people to talk with who either could listen or help with brainstorming, it would be an honor to help check in.
    Is it my mother’s fault that I don’t have a girlfriend?

    How would it be her fault that you don't?
    How would it be to her credit if you did?

    How does that work, anyway?
    I missed an appointment.

    Do you usually have a phone with you, and if so, have you considered using the calendar function on it?
    You can set multiple reminder alerts - so for example if you'd need to leave home by 4:00 to make it, you could set a reminder for the morning of, and another one for 3:00 or 3:30 so to give time to prep to go, in case you're in the middle of something else.

    If you're going to a concert/comic book show/etc., how do you remember that? Like VictorR said, use your phone and set reminders.

    I also set a reminder the day before so I'm aware it's coming up
    I wish I knew what to do with myself. :(

    @tree I wish I knew how to deal with social isolation and feeling hopeless.

    I think a lot of people on this forum want to help you, for what it's worth.

    You have received enough constructive advice in recent years to write your own Book of Proverbs, yet you criticize or ignore every piece of advice you have been given.
    My alarm clock didn’t go off and I’ve missed the first thirty minutes of the work meeting. One of my eyes is also bloodshot. EDIT: The building was locked up and my call was never answered.
    I feel hatred directed at me.

    Dude - the call is coming from inside the house. That hate you feel directed toward you - it's coming from you. Why can't you recognize that?

    Self-hatred is a terrible thing, isn't it?
    I am a loser. :(

    I believe that at times like this past weekend. Then I realize the past few days the people who care for me. Then I get a response back from a friend who did not forget about me.

    Then lose what you don't need.

    Lose what weighs you down and keeps you from moving forward. Then you will start winning. Think of a boat; if there's too much weight on the boat it will start to sink. So lose whatever's weighing you down and you'll keep floating on the surface.

    The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, but does not end there! Half-hearted efforts at self-improvement are doomed to failure. Those who go the full distance are no longer losers, they are winners.
    My therapy session didn’t go so well. :(

    Are you saying that it's your guess that you have nerve damage/neuropathy in your facial muscles?
    Or have you been diagnosed with it?

    Or are you talking about your feet?

    I am guessing I have some nerve damage in my facial muscles.

    "Boy, nerve damage, huh? That's quite rough.

    I think the worst pain I have ever seen Tyler be in is when he had that peculiar-sized....cyst?? It was a cyst on his head. Gosh, I don't think I've ever seen him in such agony. It's a good thing I'm here to numb his pain."
    Does the universe want me to suffer?

    Ask not what the universe has done for you, but what you have done for the universe.

    Who cares anyway. Most neurodivergent aren't meant to be happy in the long run.

    Does the universe want you to suffer? No.

    Hyperactive agency detection is the tendency to interpret events as if they were the deliberate intent of a conscious agent rather than the product of natural forces or unguided chaotic events. The Universe is not a conscious agent.
    I feel truly feel sad every day I wake up and I don’t have a girlfriend in my life.

    True but even the CDC updated their isolation guidelines just recently. As long as you don't have an active fever you treat it like any other respiratory infection.

    @Gerald Wilgus I can’t attend any gatherings for the event. Even my family doesn’t care about what will go on that day.
    I’ll never get the comic I used to dream about drawn. Same with the animation I used to dream about, too. :(

    So you plan to fail?

    I don’t want to fail but I don’t know if I can turn my life around.

    Makes it sound like you're trying to push a semi or haul a refrigerator on your back.

    If you want to draw or do animation, do it.
    It seems like you're expecting the Sistine Chapel and when that doesn't happen,
    you give up.
    Is there still time to get what I want in this life before I die?
    I should probably stay home today. I am having painful coughs in addition to having a scratchy throat.
    My throat is scratchy and I occasionally cough or sneeze.

    Allergies?
    Dry weather?
    Something else?

    Allergies and sore throat.
    My mother is the only person I know who thinks being a control freak is a good thing.
