    "Rejection is part of life"

    I think we can all agree that the words "known to police" indicate the type of person you don't really want to go on a date with.

    Your life hack is.....

    Don't quit five minutes before the miracle. Something I learned in AA. So many people quit out of frustration when they are nearly over the hump. You just have to hang on a bit longer and you've got it. I have learned resilency and self-confidence from this over time. The other thing is don't...

    Hi Everyone =) did you know kites can help with autism

    I haven't flown one since I was a kid. I wouldn't mind having a go at it again, but I think I have enough expensive hobbies already that I wouldn't add this on as another one. I think I would be happy just go get a cheap kite for a kid and have a go with that. Good memories there.

    Car show with a friend

    @Sherlock77 was kind enough to motivate me to attend a car show with my camera yesterday... https://www.flickr.com/photos/mccormickphotography/albums/72177720326399383/ We also toured a provincial park and had lunch there, and got some more images. I'm very grateful to this site as I would not...

    Very uncomfortable

    Being honest in that it doesn't work for many. I'm a bit of a unicorn. Not a single one of my doctors thought I would be doing this well.

    Very uncomfortable

    I'm also schizophrenic and treatment resistant. The only way to get rid of my voices and positive symptoms is to take such a high dose of anti-psychotics that I am left unable to function by severe side-effects. I have had to use a combination of tricks in addition to a lower dose of meds to...

    How many of you have formed a bond with someone to the point you could call them a brother or sister?

    Everyone needs to die because you have socializing issues? Even little kids you've never meet? d0000000d.

    Neuralink brain implant

    LOL NO. I've seen how badly a Cybertruck is engineered. Don't want the same idiot responsible for that sticking a chip in my head.

    I don't like it when people talk to me or ask me about making friends

    My wife is an NT. She and her NT friends talk about making and having friendships and the difficulties in sustaining them. I could be offended that an NT asks me about my own difficulties with friendships or I could try and be thankful that I am being included, even if it's in a way that is...

    How many of you have formed a bond with someone to the point you could call them a brother or sister?

    I met a fellow photographer online in early 2001. We had both bought new digital cameras and we were both learning how to use them together. He was the parent of a five year old and myself a one year old. He was an NT and an extrovert, but he decided to adopt me and didn't let me avoid going on...

    Maybe one day you will be employable and you will realize how wrong and horrible what you just typed is.
