    Its bad management to let employees leave the company being angry, because they could revenge somehow.

    Rec. Letters exist here too, although i already have a job so who knows what she is trying to do.

    If you have nothing to lose, you may ask her.

    My ex(?) friend contacted me again. I have no idea what she is thinking any more

    If she is NT, 90% she needs or want something from you. She will tell or show after she feel welcomed, actions speaks more than words and what is not said or done even speaks more. What do you feel about she coming back?

    I don't think that's right. She is not that kind of person. I liked that she texted me. She is not selfish at all, we are probably just not on the same wavelength

    Me too! Nt's instinctual learning style is so weird. How do they know so much?

    Do you think they do? I'm not so sure. I taught a mix of NT and ND and I think each person has strengths and weaknesses. And lots of it is on a bell curve! :)

    I don't think instinctual learning is particularly thorough and it certainly doesn't seem to predispose people to question their realities. :)

    Yes they barely if ever question anything.

    Demure.

    "adjective:

    1. Modest and reserved in manner or behavior.
    2. Characterized by or suggestive of reserve or modesty.
    3. Of sober or serious mien; composed and decorous in bearing; of modest look; staid; grave."

    Perspectives will differ. You come across kind, a little shy, polite, with a sense of fun under the surface - from what I've seen. Of course none of us have perfect vision!

    Yeah what she said, in other words 'demure. That's a very attractive quality. It's considered womanly. Traditionally a feminine trait. But I think assertiveness,not being afraid to speak your mind, is important quality too, that shouldn't be neglected by anybody.

    I have! I like the Colin Firth version even more than the movie. I think its time for a rewatch, *forgets about horror movies*

    Every woman I've ever talked to is quite aware of the Colin-Firth-in-the-bathtub scene. Funny that! :)

    I remember when I was 22 and completing my final practicum for my Grad.Dip.Ed. I was down the beach for an ecology excursion with a bunch of 15-year-olds, showing them how to classify algae, when this elderly couple came up to us and said, "Hello, children, are you enjoying this fine day?"

    I smiled sweetly at them, picked up some seaweed, and proceeded to bamboozle them with science-speak, while the students giggled. I winked at them when we said goodbye.

    I wore a lot of navy blue professionally after that because it aged me, but threw that colour scheme out when I turned 30, ;)

    My husband tends to not have huge expectations, which means he gets less disappointed than me when something doesn't turn out. I tend to have a more positive outlook than reality justifies, which is very helpful in many ways but does sometimes cause me to fall on my face. ;)

    Honestly i wasn't expecting to see self aware autistic people (they even know the term neurodiversity!!!) Just knowing that people are starting to get educated about autism here gives me hope.

    I am not an optimistic person at all but this is legit a great development for me

    Yeah, an environment that doesn't drain you, is important.

    You know you can just quit, right? Unless something is keeping you from doing so
    AprilR
    AprilR
    I would feel too guilty if i quit, at least i have a small amount of income now. Having something to do also helps with my mental health

    Just got blamed and told off for not talking sides between my friends' dispute. After months too.

    I love it when i am happy without reason. Just feeling generally content.

    Yeah, sometimes, we just need to learn to get out of the way of our own unhelpful thoughts, and feel the bliss of being alive in the here and now.
    AprilR
    AprilR
    Yes, just eating a good meal or doing something you like can make you happy even if you don't have any grand reason to.
    AprilR
    I don't want to believe it but my mom prob doesn't like autistic people. I feel alone
    AprilR

    Joseph Campbell : "Follow your bliss, you will always have your bliss, money or not. If you follow money, you may lose it, and you will have nothing. "

    JC ( hey, nice initials...) was an American writer. He was a professor of literature at Sarah Lawrence College who worked in comparative mythology.

    Sadly the things i enjoy are not things i can earn money with even if i were nt and capable enough. I don't think i am capable enough to work period.

    Everyday you wake up, alive, is a good day. I think it's about working to that point, where, you feel that. Inside your self. Which is very hard. It requires great effort, not to let outside things affect you, emotionally. Then, you can enjoy life, and feel energized, even be inspired.

    Anxiety, nausea. Guilt for masking. Idk what else i am feeling
    Slim Jim
    Slim Jim
    The ability to feel calm, feel happy, feel joy, experience Peace of mind , is within you, under that anxiety, nausea, guilt, that was pulling you down. Serenity, joy, happiness, is inside you, you just have to find it, and bring it to the surface.

    I don't feel like i deserve my job, i am not smart enough

    Hmm, lack of sleep and stress slow me personally down and destroy concentration - anything like that happening for you?

    It's not good when that happens. Hope things get better. Have you got a useful doctor to work with? They can sometimes help.

    Thank you, i usually sleep early but it doesn"t seem to help. I am constantly both sleepy and stressed. I will have to consult my psych for this.

    I hope you find ways to get the stress under control! Not fun when it's like that.
