Haven’t been here in a long long time. I feel too many feelings all at the same time and it’s exhausting.

How to live a typical day as an upstairs apartment tenant.
You'll need one, two or three of these mental conditions (all three would be excellent):-
Insomnia
Agoraphobia
OCD

Find two bricks, stick straps on and put them on your feet before getting out of bed
Jump out of bed as hard as you can and stomp to the living-room
Pick up a box of marbles and tip them out so they go scattering all over the hardwood floor
Be sure to slip over a couple of times on the marbles
Sweep up the marbles using a stiff outdoor broom that clangs against every piece of furniture and skirting-board
Move all furniture to pick up the rest of the marbles
Move a grand piano across the room because it will look nice in a different spot every day
Do exercise for hours all afternoon and evening, dropping the weights on to the floor, and use a skipping rope too, but do not take off your brick shoes
Run whenever entering a room, your heavy brick shoes will probably help you stumble and fall over
Dance around the room whatever activity you're doing, even if it's supposed to be a quiet activity like sewing or doing a puzzle
Hammer a nail into the wall almost every day, to stop you dying from boredom of seeing the same picture frame in the same place every day
The day is drawing to an end, and now that you've done all unnecessary tasks that involve as much noise as possible, it's time to do some housework
Make sure you vacuum thoroughly in every room and walk to and fro as much as you can while sorting out laundry
After a hard day of constantly doing physical activities without sitting down even to eat lunch, you'll need a shower. Stay in the shower as long as you can (half an hour to an hour) and move around as much as you can, dropping potion bottles as you do so
Don't forget to move the grand piano back to the other side of the room
Make sure to have no music or TV on loud because if there's none of that then your downstairs neighbours can't complain at your "normal, innocent, everyday noises"

Enjoy being inconsiderate a**holes!

I was having a good time until we were on our way home from camping and I was able to check my phone when it got service again. I saw that my mom texted me from a new number and she made it sound like my dog had choked and died, but I talked to my dad and he said that Phoenix is fine. I'm still shaking and I'm so f*****g mad.

It's this... Week/s again.

I want 'this' over with.
Fricking distracted, so distracted... I got no time to sleep and eat my breakfast to work and I'm also late.

Something straight up died under our house and it smells SO BAD. The house has smelled bad since we got home yesterday, but it was worse this morning and is even worse now. We only finally figured out what the smell was because we came home today and could smell it in the backyard, and there were flies flocking around a specific area of below the house. Now I'm gonna have to crawl under there with spider webs everywhere and God knows what else and try to find it + remove it.

The new neighbours have this massive, annoying cat that yowls constantly. It yowls overnight and often in the daytime too. It sounds like a fox or velociraptor. Maybe it's a werecat and changes in the night time! haha.

They don't have a cat door so it sits yowling outside a lot of the time. They also have a dog but he is very quiet and well behaved.

I shouted and clapped my hands out of the window in the middle of the night one time to get this cat to shut up for once and let us sleep, it was either fighting or mating with some other cats outside our window. Having an orgy! I am going to get a dog whistle, hopefully cats can hear that and it might shut them up! I'd also like to get an airhorn but that might upset the humans as well!

My aunt corrects me whenever I make a sarcastic (not mean sarcasm) joke and I'm actually starting to get mad. I'm just gonna shut my f*****g mouth.

Fed up with vehicle drivers always wanting to make me jump, to startle me. My therapist told me not to post things like this on autism forums because of the answers I get ("everybody is noticing you because of your 'body language' so they will startle you just for fun"). But what the hell.

This is why I get mad whenever Aspies here lecture that I lack empathy just because I don't approve of some things, yet NTs (I'm assuming that most of these loud drivers are NTs) get to deliberately upset people and cause me anxiety and grief every time I go out, and Aspies still claim that NTs have empathy.

So what is empathy? If it means respect then pull the other one.

HeroOfHyrule- people like that want to shut you up, that's their aim. Keep commenting, be you

Joe90- those drivers are just rude and inconsiderate. They should be concentrating on driving, not looking at people's body language.

Especially on the very curvy and narrow roads of the UK......

It is definitely weird being in limbo like this. 2 friends (who don't know each other so it's not like it's a group thing) have disappeared. I know they are still alive because I've seen them around on social media, but they never replied to my last messages to them. One was 10 weeks ago, another was 7 weeks ago. We saw each other regularly til then, I thought we were close friends.

I've reached a bit of a watershed. I think I should contact them again but there are two problems with that.

1) I want to leave it just to see if they ever contact me again, like a test. If I never hear from them again, I'll know where I stand.

2) From previous experience, if I don't hear from a friend for a while, it means I've said or done something 'wrong'. And when I contact them again, I get a barrage of insults, usually without me having a clue what they're talking about. I want to protect myself from that, it's easier just to let them go.

People are very strange. Why not just say 'you upset me when you said XYZ. What did you mean?' instead of ghosting and/or firing insults.

I'm getting so f*****g tired of being corrected 24/7, even when I know that I'm right. I want to just be left alone for the weekend. I don't want to go anywhere or talk to anyone and deal with their BS.

^ Pervy men honk at women. They don't care if it makes us jump.....it amuses them.

That's all there is to it.

Yes, such drivers are just jerks. I'm sorry they treat you like that, they need to get some manners.

They also do it when women are pushing a baby/toddler in a pram. You've just got them off to sleep and you're pushing them along enjoying the peace and quiet for once, and some man in a vehicle hoots or starts his engine to make the baby/toddler wake up and cry. They enjoy seeing the woman jump and get upset, and have to calm the child down again. Such men are jerks.

I'm sick of people assuming that one isolated incident of someone losing their temper or snapping means they are a bad person and need to be immediately ditched.

If someone is kind and helpful 99% of the time but has a bad day and snaps 1% of the time, it's surely better to ask 'are you okay?' 'do you want to talk about it?' Or some other thoughtful question.

It seems that in modern life, someone can be kind and helpful most of the time yet THE MINUTE they have a bad day/feel ill/tired etc and say something snappy, BOOM that must mean they are a bad person and should be immediately excluded/blocked/cancelled.

What happened to tolerance and logic? 'Oh, that person is usually kind and helpful, I wonder why they just snapped at me? Could they be having a problem/ going through a bad situation?' Nope. It's just BOOM, bye bye, you're not allowed to have any feelings or problems.
