  • I honestly sometimes want a cure for autism. I feel like it’s the only thing that can help me.

    It's probably not the only thing.
    I feel like the autism community hates men who are single.

    The male side of the autism community is mostly made of single men--Course if you fall in love, it's not about the community, it is about you & the girl. The "community" you've been looking for.

    It rained today. But I don't feel like the clouds hate me.
    Should I take up smoking and drinking to finally fit in?

    Are you fascinated by people who'd require smoking and drinking as elements necessary for hanging out together?

    Markness
    I wouldn’t say fascinating. I am just baffled at how I was constantly told not to do those things by authority figures and family members yet I was bullied and ostracized.

    I don't see any connection between those situations.
    Should I keep posting or just disappear?

    @crewlucaa_ if you mean me, I have to say: thank you very much! I rarely read other threads and just say my own opinion and which comes to my mind. but I am glad that you like it : ) you are very friendly too and I am sure that you are a really good person, even without really knowing you.

    Yes, I meant you, @Shaddock :) And thank you for your kindness!
    My parents being doctors made me get bullied, even to this day.

    How does that work?

    If someone bullies you because your parents are doctors, they are idiots. Don't listen to idiots, don't let it get to you so much. People say crazy things all the time, the trick is to not listen to them.

    @tree I am perceived to be a “rich kid” who thinks he’s better than everyone. They’ll also make snide remarks and don’t believe me when I struggle with money.
    I think I am going to only use PMs for the foreseeable future.
    tree

    That was a very short future. You've started two threads since you speculated that you'd be using only PMs for a while.

    I might change my mind.

    That's true. You have the ability to do that.
    Why didn’t my dreams come true? Does the universe want me to suffer until I die?

    The universe neither loves us nor does it hate us. It just watches over us, guiding us to the safest places it can find.

    You had expectations. Those expectations , commonly referred to as "dreams," I guess because of the illusory nature of such expectations. When they failed to materialize. You felt suffering. Then you projected this suffering onto the Universe. Then you catastrophized this feeling. Hence the existential persecutory nature of this feeling. Hopefully this explanation clarifies matters. Somewhat.

    Mr. Young God... Hah. Funny name. I'm 33 also. It's good to be young. Even though I consider myself old. Kinda.
    I called the number I was given to schedule a blood test but only got a repetitive robot call that didn’t give me the option to do so.

    Do you know the hours/days for this place? It is Saturday today, and Easter weekend.

    Their site said they were open today. The robot call said they were open for walk ins but I don’t see why no one would’ve been unable to answer a phone call.

    How many times did you try calling them today?
    I don’t like Friday nights when I am broke and I can’t go to Austin.

    My area is very empty unless you like handegg (American football) and drinking as well as smoking at the dumpy pool halls and sports bars. Both those venues also don’t like heavy metal music generally and usually cater to country, rap, pop, and radio rock fans.

    Handegg. Never heard that one before. Lol!

    That’s because the object in that game resembles an egg instead of a ball. Hands are also used more than feet in it.
    My energy level is dropping. I really need to get that blood test for my testosterone.

    The weather is also currently poor in Texas.

    How would that help?

    Best case scenario you either meet gardeners' daughters or some other alternative type folks from in town & at least ask some girls out. Getting turned down by a live woman is better than getting turned down by your mom's voice in your subconsious

    You might even hit it off with one of them--or more; then you got lots of friends.
    Someone who rejected me told me the guy she chose was Christian and that made him preferable.

    I got the Covid vaccine which was a dealbreaker for some ultra-religious girls; oh well--not like I'm marrying someone who now thinks I'm a cyborg. Best thing to do is laugh about it.

    Rejection hurts--doesn't mean I didn't go throw up in the toilet because of stress--but humor and resilience go a long, long ways!
    My mind keeps telling me it’s too late for my life to ever change positively.

    It's you who's telling yourself that.

    I do get discouraged when my attempts to improve my social life fizzle out.
    Does anyone still want me to get better?

    We all want you to get better, but the fact is you think external validation is the only way to get there. Accepting yourself first is the answer.

    I had one of the scariest nightmares ever last night. The rest of the day is going to be unhappy.

    I think I may have asked you before, but have you ever kept a dream journal?
