    Not all NTs love socialising

    The endless generalizations and pointless labels will never cease to amuse/annoy me. Is there anything human being will not become tribalistic about?

    Are Reboots/Remakes Ever Good?

    It's obviously a case by case thing but as a general rule I'd say that most media products that get this treatment get so because they are considered to be good or are at least popular, which is the exception because most things aren't successful, so it makes sense that reboots and remakes often...

    Please is a stupid word

    I honestly doubt there's any one culture in the world where the same thing doesn't at least somewhat apply. I'm from a tropical hellhole with a chaotic, disorganized and rather informal culture where a bunch of pointless pleasantries are still expected, I believe it's simply something built in...

    Probably going to flunk a college course

    Flunking a college course? I flunked multiple college degrees due to mental health issues :blush: Even if it happens, life goes on, one way or another. Having said that, this sounds like some form of anxiety which is often what procrastination often is, a maladaptive way of handling anxiety...

    Why do o feel like nobody likes me?

    You're clearly hyper self-aware and that's a big problem because living life like that is an absolute mess, I know that personally. There's very likely something not working properly in your mind but the only one that can diagnose that is a professional. But don't take this as saying that...

    Be fully anxiety free for one entire week.

    Why is it ok for people to mock and undermine others who have cancer? (not autistic related)

    I apologize if this is a little rough and direct but if your standard for becoming outraged is based on what anyone can say on social media, which is scientifically proven to worsen the mental health and behavior of its users, which also by its very own definition enables anyone to say anything...

    It’s finally fall Y’all

    Random, pointless fact, in the part of the world where I live there are no seasons, just a rainy and dry season. I'm always reminded of this fact when there's like a new season of a TV show announced to be coming in like "Autumn 2023" and I have to search online for what months are autumn...

    Large age gap relationships

    I doubt there's anyone relevant in any country legislating to try and make your marriage illegal or strip you of any associated rights, so that's a much lesser layer of discrimination. But most people will hold opinions, almost always completely unnecessary ones, about everything they come...

    UK Sexual Orientation Report: "societal attitudes are changing in favour of diversity in sexual identity"

    My whole life I've been as "progressive" as it gets despite being born into a deeply conservative country but I have to admit there's something that annoys me about the form in which modern sexual diversity is expressed, the endless sub divisions and qualifications and sub categories that become...

    Is it normal to have no friends?

    For the average person? a bit, albeit the rate of loneliness has been steadily growing all over the world as people become more culturally isolated. For someone in this forum that presumably is somewhere in or adjacent to the spectrum? not at all.

    Anyone else find this ironic and unfair?

    I cannot remember the last time anyone "made me" listen to their interests. Pointless chatter from a stranger at a doctor's office about their hollow lives (mine is hollow as well, of course)? sure, but I can't really remember anyone just randomly talking about what they like.

    Are you unusually uptight?

    Despite growing up with the Internet, I despise memes and meme culture. I generally dislike colloquialisms, I try to use language as properly as I can and I instinctively look down on those that don't. I'm actively against the idea of doing much of anything simply to fit in socially. I'm...

    Do you feel like all your passions are too niche?

    I'm a huge nerd about geopolitics and global affairs, always have been. I'm not sure if I'd characterize that as niche but it's certainly no conversation starter. "Hey, what do you think about Azerbaijan's renewed hostilities against the Armenia backed Nagorno-Karabakh and the likely ethnic...

    Needy autistic boyfriend breakup?

    Step 1: break up with him. Step 2: If he still doesn't stop, legal action. Autism or not, any other mental health issue or not, it's hard to imagine why would you ever want to be with someone so unhinged.
