  • Just because a man gets told he needs to be talked to doesn’t mean he’s done anything malicious. I didn’t even get discharged.

    You could have been 'discharged'/released, if you'd wanted to. People were assuming that "discharge" meant something like 'fired'/kicked out, when it was a term more similar in meaning to "graduate."
    I kind of want my next story to have a “Don’t say we didn’t warn you” reputation.

    Do you mean, within the plot? Or do you mean you want the story to be so startling it needs a forewarning to the reader?

    The plot.
    Someone slapped the table I am at and I still feel irritated.

    That brings back memories of being a child, for me. Sometimes I used to barely chew my food, so that I could concentrate hard on swallowing it, and not cry during dinner, if the conversation was negative.

    The last bit sounds familiar.
    Someone said I wasn’t nice enough and an incel despite how they said they weren’t nice and were an incel. Projection much? Sorry, loser.
    Denying your authenticity just for social acceptance is self-destruction.

    Being polite/generally cordial is not "denying your authenticity."
    It is expected of everyone, NT or neur-D.
    How exactly does “increments” when applied to life work?

    Increment is a small amount. The math books I had used the words "incremental approach" in the titles. (Saxon Math) Making small steady advances....What is "life work"?
    Markness

    Life work as in doing things with my life that I want or have to do. I’ve been told I need to see progress in increments instead of how I normally see it.

    That happens to people who smoke marijuana, really often. They think they're having a profound conversation or knowing *the meaning of everything* and later it appears it really wasn't that at all.
    I unintentionally hurt a friend. I need to break away for a while.

    If you can apologize then "a while" may not be as long as you think. Tough skill for us to learn as a lot of times we dont know if the other person accepts the apologies.
    Even though I was born in the US, I feel more like I am English.

    I wonder if this is common for Aspies. I look at England as the home of my culture.

    That would be interesting to find out. I am primarily of Anglo descent with some Cherokee in my bloodline.

    That's cool (and a good conversation starter.)
    My family has a British last name & held English social habits until the 1970s...pretty sure there is a strong Anglo influence. Also, I look very English/old-school American.
    I am glad I didn’t get rid of my Gen13 issues. I need to re-read them as well as get the rest of the original run.
    Besides maybe the male staff worker and one other customer, I am the only guy at the barcade who doesn’t have a girlfriend at his side.

    No gay couples, eh?
    Markness
    Markness
    I rarely see gay couples. They still get bullied by rednecks, gangsta rap thugs, and fundies.
