    I'm usually against cheating, but is it something Chat GPT can help with?

    I don’t know. It’s a very specific research paper that requires quoting from official articles.

    I wouldn’t recommend cheating. Don’t waste your time cheating, just buckle down and do it. You usually get it done.
    I don’t fit in even with other autistic people.

    @tree I keep getting rejected or ignored when I attempt to socialize.

    I don’t have a girlfriend, I am not talented at anything, and I am a social pariah.

    One of those statements is a fact.
    The other two are opinions.

    @Markness I am not talented in anything. I can't sing. I tried to play the piano so many times and gave up everytime. Also I can never get a girlfriend either.
    I feel cheated from my college experiences.

    Our expectations bruise the ego when life doesn't turn out how we'd hoped.

    My college then eventual dropout experience was the worst part of my life. I wish I could forget it.

    I expect you're talking about the unrealistic social expectations your
    family has regarding college? You don't mean your classes have been
    less than instructive, right?
    Had to watch the front desk for an hour and some patrons got testy with me.

    At the library I go to most often, the place to return books is right next
    to the front desk. Sometimes one of the people working the front desk
    immediately picks up the returns and takes them away, leaving the
    other person to mind the desk. There are generally 2 people at the desk.

    @tree The work area I am in became short staffed and the only other person who was still on the clock had to cover for someone upstairs so I was alone.

    What is a 'turn-in slot'?

    Is that like place near the front door or something?
    Our library has a built in drop area at the front door
    and a drop box (like a mail box) at the back door.

    And the wheeled shelf that sits next to the front desk,
    which I mentioned yesterday.
    I did something against my better judgment.

    You told yourself some familiar stories?

    @tree I did and the fact I am turning 35 makes the feelings even stronger.

    No, the fact that you'll be 35 on your next birthday doesn't make the feelings of inferiority stronger.
    The fact that you keep telling yourself that you're a loser does.
    My social security deposit came in. I used some of it to get some of my credit card paid off, put some in my savings account, and will use some to get my car’s oil changed.

    @Aspychata I also don’t want to keep getting stuck in corners.

    I just wiped out my credit card this week.Two years ago, l wiped out 9000 dollars in credit card debit. I am a lot happier not sitting with so much debit.

    And you call yourself a loser? I think not. You're a wonderful, intelligent, responsible, nice person. Just remember that.
    I can’t see any options nor solutions for my struggles.

    Hey sorry to hear that. I could use a few solutions myself. We just keep moving forward - okay Markness?

    The main thing is, you cannot study if you are stressed. Do something else, stim or cry or eat or whatever. And then you can study faster and better than ever before.

    I like crying because it is both emotional, and the sobs are stimming to my body as I shake. But some people don't like to cry.
    I’m probably going to flunk this college course.

    Have you talked to your instructor and/or an academic advisor about whether withdrawing from the course might ve an option perhaps?

    Why are you thinking you'll fail this one?
    What's going on?
    I’m stuck in myself.

    when I get that way, I try making silly rhymes. Like this:
    .
    Stuck in myself / my mind's on a shelf / full of old books / and nasty looks // When I look inside / inner child just sighed / "You can become so uncurled", / "Just look at the world"
    .
    *shrug*
    I am probably going to be in trouble at work tomorrow. The majority of my last hour was of myself stuck on the toilet and I get lectures about that when it happens.

    Possibly the lecture includes encouragement to take care of your health issues?
    Watch what you eat?
    I came across a new album from Orbital while browsing through Waterloo Records in Austin today!

    Record shopping is one of the great little pleasures in life.
    I’ve read about halfway through Clive Barker’s The Great and Secret Show. Getting that far quickly with a book of its length is a new record for me.
    One of my ears still feels stuffy even after applying ear drops into it and attempting to flush it out with a bulb syringe.

    Sometimes it takes a few tries. Annoying though. Inner ear is so delicate.
    Markness
    Markness
    @Rodafina I’ve applied Debrox to it and it caused a burning sensation. I hope that means any bad bacteria that got in my ear was cleaned out.
    It really hurts me that there are those who don’t want me to be happy and think that I am dangerous to women when that isn’t true at all.
