  • I thought I would have a wife and children by now. Why were my dreams denied?

    I had a husband and kids and both walked away from me. Just saying.....

    I thought when I was 17 that I'd have (by now) finished the first half of an education. Now I'm wrapping up an education in a secular field, crushed a job interview today, and planning on adventures (though I must go alone.) In a lot of ways? I'm learning to like this better.

    I think I’m doing better solo for the most part too… more time to focus on my job and my dogs, and I’m planning on going on a trip to several countries in Europe, to visit some friends but also hike a lot of Scandinavia and other countries over there. Also hopefully moving to Québec within the next couple of years. If I find a husband, cool. If I don’t, I’ll be fine. Lol
    Please let me die.

    No Markness. Please hold on. Don't let your mom beat you down. I had to leave my family at 17. They didn't have my best interests.

    @Markness Isn't it more likely that you're wishing you could remove feelings of loneliness, failure, inferiority, rejection....?

    How many places have you tried? What alternative products are available? (You asked your health care provider about alternative products, right ?)
    Even when I eat less, I still get stuck on the toilet for hours. It’s like my body stores a week’s worth of waste.

    Exercise and fiber or coffee. Try oatmeal in the morning or cardio helps get your internal system moving. @Misery always suggests water- very important also.

    I deal with the same problem… IBS is quite the demon. Do you have POTS, by any chance?

    These are common triggers to avoid ibs:deep fried food ,chocolate ,cows,goats,sheeps ,milk cheese,spice,coffee, coffee and chocolate are natural!laxatives!:),mineral water and pure orange juice are good natural slow laxatives and rebalance electrolytes
    I am not ok with people telling me I need to stop hyper focusing on wanting a relationship.

    This, I think, comes along with the autism and seems to be something that most of us deal with, though the "target" of that hyper-focus can vary wildly. I know I have to deal with it, and I know what can happen if I let it get out of hand... is why I always warn people to be careful about it.

    Focusing on a goal isnt bad. But going totally overboard to the point where it starts to harm you mentally or physically IS bad, AND it wont actually advance you towards your goal; rather, it'll push you AWAY from it, guaranteed.

    On a side note, whoever came up with the "brilliant" idea to have an ultra-tiny limit on comment sizes in systems like these should be kicked by a horse and covered in bees.

    My response to those who don’t want me to focus on finding a girlfriend: I refuse to stop.

    @Markness No, "I refuse to stop" is not a patronizing statement. I think somebody misunderstands the meaning of the word "patronizing."

    That's great! I think setting mini-goals (such as overcoming anxiety, improving your emotional intelligence, or learning to be content being single to avoid coming across as desperate or needy) will make it easier to achieve your ultimate goal of getting a girlfriend.
    I feel a sting from the fact Valentine’s Day is coming up, especially since last year’s one didn’t go the way I wanted it to go.

    All it reminded me is that I was weird because I didn't want what everyone else wanted ,the true reason for it was a martyrs day \Saints day remembering Valentine if you choose to or you're Roman catholic and only having one spouse until one dies ,he championed monogamy over polygamy
    Talk to me! Tell me the truth! This smells sour! Burn my face! I’m a cold fish! Feed on me! This smells sour!

    Yesterday my search was the 1st four sentences. And gave me no pertinent results. Today I tried searching using the 1st five sentences, and that does give the song in the first two results.
    I heard back from the new friend I made at the end of last year today!

    That was only a couple months ago. It's nice that you've heard from someone you met. It takes me longer than a couple months to know whether someone is my friend, though.

    Me too, tree. But it’s good that this person kept in touch with him. Maybe it will develop into a friendship! :)

    Excellent. Nice to hear!
    Someone who hates me didn’t want me to blame shift because it would “hurt yourself (referring to me).” Why would she care, though?

    Luca
    Don’t know. Most of the people who have hurt me have maintained that it was entirely my fault. :(

    That’s so mean of them! It’s not your nor my fault!

    I couldn’t stay in the kitchen after my mother had Alexa play a song I can’t stand.

    Thank you! Do you ever feel like the light at the mouth of infinity shines for others but not yourself?

    Sometimes… but I think my light shines for others too :) Part of what keeps me optimistic is making other people feel happy and welcome.
