    I am mentally scarred by what someone told me to do.

    Freedom to choose how to react. You can blame the "someone", but in reality you chose to "mentally scar" yourself.

    Remember the Russian roulette scene in deer hunter? Imagine being told to put a gun to your head. Some serious scarring might arise. Mental or otherwise.

    I have not watched that movie. No one in person EVER talked about it.

    “You don’t need a girlfriend!” feels the same as being told “I don’t want you to have a girlfriend!” to me.

    @Markness. Sorry you fell into that dark hole. Maybe you can get out and walk this weekend or go to a coffee place on the weekend. I am hoping you meet someone dude.

    I no longer want to help the autism community to get more notice.

    If you're helping to get something from others, then that's the wrong reason. This mindset is easy to learn & is why many men cannot end up with an honest romantic relationship.

    @Markness It sounds like your expectations were not met. Like you didn't get what you were looking for...

    I am bored with the current mainstream state of music and comics. The underground is better.

    Do my best to be patient for the underground creators I like make content.

    Oh...now you've edited the original remark. Added "mainstream" and the remark about "underground."

    Sadly, even underground creators have been slow lately.

    You're only 33. (so Am I ) You've got decades of life ahead of you. You'll be fine. Everybody is afraid of dying. You're actually a few weeks younger than me. I see.

    @Markness Is that from a song or something?
    Markness
    Markness
    @tree Yes, it’s called Remember Me by Michael Gira and Jarboe’s World of Skin project.

    I feel like I have rocks in my jaws and mandibles.

    When's the last time you were at the dentist? Opening and closing jaw isn't supposed to make noise.

    This sounds like TMJ isn't it?

    Sounds like my situation last year. Suspected bruxism and TMD, but when left face/jaw began to swell days later they re-took xrays & saw an infection they earlier missed. Put me on antibiotics, and it went away. Had to remove the infected tooth. The sooner you get the correct diagnosis and treatment, the more likely you'd get things corrected.

    My mother admitted to me she purposefully puts my siblings before me.

    It is time then to put yourself before their expectations of you. Go chase success even if it hurts.
    Long-practiced sadness will often alter brain chemistry. Dopamine emitters & receptors may go offline.

    That happened to me there for awhile. Ended up having to re-train myself to make serotonin & dopamine. Am now capable of joy, regaining productivity. Might work for you--takes a while but is worth it

    I want to cry right now. :(

    I guess so but I am discouraged by my lack of a degree and no other job training under my belt.

    I don’t have a degree either. But I was able to start a business doing something I love. If you want job coaching and some advice about how/where to look, send me a pm or an email :)

    Markness, if you got to, let's get on the phone & talk things over someday. I have a knack for walking into just about anywhere & getting jobs. They let me drive the polishers at the hardware factory today.
    I think you can do this.
    Markness
    I keep putting aside adding things to the vision board.

    That second sentence characterizes self predicting prophecy.

    Why do I keep failing, though?
    tree

    It's possible to re-frame "failure" as incremental success. If you'd stopped standing up when you were a baby learning to walk, would you have learned to walk?
    Markness
    Maybe I should’ve left the community last year when I started becoming hated?

    If you will learn to like yourself more, none of that would end up mattering.

    So far approximately 95% of the Markness-bashing on this forum is coming from the man himself.

    How can I avoid Friday night blues?

    Adjust your expectations.

    Do something you really like to do. I love a new movie and a crunchy snack. I enjoy talking to some friends if possible. The gym visit on Friday keeps my happy points spinning.

    On Friday nights I sometimes like to put some good records on, or play the organ, or drink coffee, or go sit outside & say hi to the neighbors' cat. I'm pretty easily amused. Only society expects you to go clubbing, Markness. Do what fulfills your own desires.

    I feel like not having a girlfriend makes others look down on me.
    Aspychata

    I don't look down on you. You can't use relationships to identify yourself. You are unique with or without another person. I can truly say some relationships can cause us severe stress. In a way, l wonder if l should have stayed single, l may have been better off.

    I don’t think people necessarily look down on me for not having a boyfriend, but some people have called me “desperate” which I’m not… I don’t really feel like dating right now anyways.
    I think it’s really shallow if people care that much if someone else has a boyfriend or girlfriend or not! Tell them it’s none of their business.
