    I’m feeling hot more than ever. My younger brother and mother think I have become fully diabetic now.

    @Aspychata I tend to crave certain flavors and sensations.

    I also love my junk food. :) I allow myself one time a week for my biggest weakness, cheesesteaks. Is there a way to satisfy cravings with healthy alternatives?

    Don't want to sound like nagging, I think you maybe don't have diabetes. But overweight is biggest risk for type 2.

    How can I feel like I still have time to have a romantic relationship in my life?

    Adapt your thinking. There is no finite timeframe for what you want.

    I didn't meet my wife until my mid 40s. I had given up. Wasn't looking. It just happened. Anything is possible.

    I am in my mid 40s and I feel like giving up but I still have hope even though all I meet are mostly taken women.
    Markness
    Am I too old to have a romantic relationship because I have little to no experience?

    No. I've never thought that one's experience or lack thereof had much of anything to do with attraction. In the relationships I had with NT women, none of them ever asked me about my experience. It just never came up. Where what you do in real time is all that likely counts.

    "Don't ask; don't tell." ;)

    I never had any romantic relationships because all the woman I encounter are already taken.
    Tony Ramirez
    Do you encounter woman who are have boyfriends or are married in your daily encounters like I do?
    Markness
    Markness
    Indeed I do. A lot of it is due to religious cultural expectations. Some cultures also have arranged marriages.
    Tony Ramirez
    Tony Ramirez
    I see. I don't encounter any woman who married arranged. There husband luckily meet them while I am still single.
    Markness
    I really fear I will continue to be without a partner for the remainder of my life.

    Same here. It's been recently keeping me up at night. Especially since I turn 46 tomorrow.

    I wish I could get back the time I lost using Discord.

    Only moving forward. We can use our regrets to inform future decisions, though.

    I only register to Discord to use it when my friend Justin drove from New York to California. Never used it again.

    I think my chronic social isolation is a problem that needs to be taken more seriously by society instead of mocked or scorned.

    That sounds like you're expecting "society" to take care of your isolation for you.
    What do you want "society" to do, that isn't happening now?

    @tree I wish there were services such as practice dating as well as social skills training for those who fell behind, hangouts for introverts/introvert interests, and probably some other things that haven’t crossed my mind.

    Check with your therapist.

    I get tension headaches if I don’t drink caffeine in the morning.

    Agreed. That's caffeine withdrawal. I have to be ever so careful about how many times a week I will ingest caffeine of any kind. Otherwise you get hooked and that awful headache happens.

    Bottom line- ingesting any caffeine on a regular basis is likely to get you hooked. So going off caffeine becomes a number of days with those headaches and a sense of being "hung over".
    Rodafina
    Rodafina
    Yep, caffeine withdrawal. That can get to be a serious headache. At least you know the source though. Tapering down only takes a week or two.

    If I try to stop caffeine, it gives me pain in my kidney/adrenal gland area. Standard OTC painkillers help with that. But I just like coffee, so avoid the withdrawal most of the time.

    I wanted to be good at guitar and drawing but life denied me the talent for both things.

    I could not get my spazzy pinky to cooperate on guitar, so that was short-lived.
    I enjoy drawing figures, but I am less interested in drawing props & sets, so my mobility in that field is limited. I should have put my eggs in the "math" basket, instead.

    I was always the best in my class at drafting, however.

    I think I’ve seen a sketch of Nanachi from Made in Abyss of yours that wasn’t that bad? I agree with Rodafina that it’s more about practice than talent.
    Markness
    Markness
    @Kitsuna I’ve made a color drawing of Nanachi as well. I’ve attempted more drawings since but I get stricken with analysis paralysis as well as discouragement when I make mistakes.

    I feel so burned out and all my creative energy is gone. :(

    I have been struggling with creativity lately as well, but I think it's because I'm incredibly busy all day and then when I get home, all I want to do is get in bed, eat, and watch Youtube videos.
    Try to rest and do something nice for yourself, and then hopefully you will have some creative energy again soon.

    Sorry Markness. I hope you get your spunk back.
    Markness
    Someone on Discord told me they wanted to hit me sometime ago. Should I say something harsh back to them now or continue to not give them any time?

    Blocking them is probably the best course of action.

    People like this seek a reaction. The best course to take is ignore them or, as Luca has said, block them. They are not worth the wear on your keyboard.

    Bullies want to see you react. that's the whole reason they do it, whether it be in school or as adults for those who never grew up and realized they were wrong to do it. I agree with blocking them!
