    Autisim spectrum as explained by a duck

    Yes! After decades of masking I still wonder if I really am autistic. Then I watch a video like this one and I know my tribe. Hyper fixation one that really describes me all too well.

    I need an advice...about living life

    Don't think of your actions as "focus." That action is big to think about. Just think "I am doing this thing now." That's an easier thought. Honestly, some of the best advice I have ever heard: when all else fails, pet a cat. That means to just do something pleasurable. Just do...

    I need an advice...about living life

    When you are resisting pain, that resistance makes it worse. You are feeling pain and you want it to end NOW. But grief ends fastest when you aren't looking at the pain so much. So, when you resist the pain you keep looking at it over and over again. Think of it like a bandaid ghat you...

    My Mom dropped a bombshell on me.

    I am sure you are right. I can miss read the intentions of others. I appologize if I have offended anyone.

    My Mom dropped a bombshell on me.

    My response to your mother would be :"I am glad you love her as much as I do. Love is a choice we make." Just let that statement hang out there. If she is at all perceptive she should feel a measure of shame. Parents wonder why we aren't emotionally closer to them and never look at their...

    Chocolate poll.

    Chocolate isn't actually my favorite candy. But it is the candy that I can eat the most of. Make mine 80% cacao. Lindt brand works for me, but there some mighty delicious handmade brands too. (I actually like licorice and spice drops best but spice drops are sugary and one must be careful of...

    Bandaid for a bad day

    No! I haven't opened them. I don't know when I will. Dang, I was trying to upload a photo of one of my favorite capsule toys but my internet it too slow.

    Bandaid for a bad day

    This is silly but I love Kinder Suprise eggs. Not for the chocolate but because the toys can be really cool and innovate for being crammed into a x1.5"capsule. Lately, I have really been struggling with anxiety and fear/ frustration over political antics. While no toy can fix that, I was...

    Seeking your input. Would you work 12 hours per day, 7 days a week, for 45 days straight at high pay?

    I worked 60 hours a week for years. But, I had little needs I couldn't take care of. But with a dog, aquarium and separate rent and other expenses, you will double your off work needs too. Do you have reliable support of your pets? If it was just about hours worked, I would do it. But the...

    Shoelaces

    Shoe laces, combination locks, analog watches (especially when someone else wants the time) these are a few of my most hated things! I abandoned shoes with laces long ago. I do, indeed, know how to tie my shoes but, at 57, I don't own any shoes that lace. I am an adult and I am free to make...

    A rough realization I had today, would love any thoughts you might have

    Honestly, I think most people think of themselves first. That is why your friend only remembers certain things: he only remembers what he finds interesting. For this same reason people forget the very thing that interests you the most. I don't mean everyone is a narcissist. They are actually...
