What's on your mind right now?
I'm thinking how my circumstances and my family have utterly moved in to mess my life up.
My voice was never heard.
I'm leaving to wonder and possibly be leaving this Earth soon.
Even if someone cares, everything was taken from me.
I'm sorry. I wish I knew what to say.

Someone on here said my stepdad was a homophobe and wanted me to be straight and even though he's never said that to me or implied it at all, I'm starting to wonder if it's true but there's not much I can do about it. I'm bi with picky standards for guys and the guy he tried to set me up with wasn't right for me. Besides, I believe it's important to match life stage and the guy's way too mature for me! Only reason I'm questioning it is because someone mentioned it as a possibility.

Sometimes....I feel so guilty for being such a privileged kid.
I grew up in a nice house in a nice neighborhood in a nice town. I went to one of the best public schools in the state, did any sport I wanted, was involved in all sorts of hobbies (some of which-like riding horses-were not cheap), and never had to worry about money related problems. I got a car at 16, my parents pay for my college in full, and I have just about every personal electronic device you can own. Ive never been grievously injured. I go to a great university. My summer job was crappy, but hey it was a job.
Id never realized just how many people struggle in their everyday lives. Sometimes I scroll around on this site and I see everyones posts and I feel so bad cause it seems like pretty much everyone on here has it so much worse than me. Ive never had to face the kinds of problems they do. My parents love me, I have no major health issues, and I might be an aspie but I manage just fine. I feel so bad for everyone but I feel even worse knowing that I was living so comfortably and had never even thought about the people around me. And I feel kinda stupid posting my own annoyances because they seem so paltry in comparison.
I wish I knew what to say to people to make them feel better. Noone deserves to seem to sad all the time. ![]()

It's not your fault other people have it worse than you, and ultimately those of us who are miserable have to address that for ourselves.
Besides, how much a problem impacts one depends on a lot of things. If you've always been poor, being poor is normal and not as disruptive as having it suddenly happen to you. You might see someone posting about how the line at the restaurant was too long and they messed up the order and think 'ugh, first world problems' only to realize they're actually in the third world and that's still in that moment, the most frustrating part of that person's experience. Further, we're all differently equipped to deal with stressors, and something that's overwhelming for someone else is bearable for someone else. Finally, feeling guilty over having it well isn't making anyone else feel miserable, it's just letting you feel welcome at the pity party. You feeling miserable won't make anyone feel better, at least not complete strangers (and if there's anyone who does feel better because you're miserable, tell me and I'll make them eat their socks in front of you.)

I have no idea how to draw my picture and have it actually look good at a bigger scale.
Idk why I always make my pictures bigger after I draw them anyway.

My only friend talked on the phone for a long time, yesterday when we were hanging out
She's so popular, surprised the phone doesn't ring more often
Idiots have way too much energy
They can't have a thought without an announcement
Dr Gupta told me that I was ""taking a nap"
Extroverts
She said it in a
bonding
way
Idiots
Lying down is not "taking a nap"
Its so easy for them to be manipulative and judgmental
But even if the statement is just a perception, so what?
"You bit the sticker off the apple".
Correct but she would not have said it if she did not like it
Subconscious expectations and assumptions violated
How about "why did you say 'what' instead of "excuse me"?
They act like they are so justified, in their actions and statements, but they are just in the majority and arrogant
And do call yourself "people". It is correct, but it sounds like you represent "people" and I am not a person
Hidden motive
Ulterior motive
Idiots thoughts are a teaspoon size and their vocab is teaspoon size
My thoughts are gallon size and my vocab is pint size
But they are not receptive anyways and they don't have the authority to fix the problem
A psychologist told me that if you have a situation, think of what you want and how to get there
Correct
But it might not happen successfully and then you could get a worse situation
Extroverts
On Alexa there is a question where you say 'play latest hits in'. I've tried a lot of cities. There is more difference between parts of USA than between North East USA and most European countries or between one European country and another. I only like the Southern USA music.

He must be manipulating her into gossiping about people. I find overly nice people annoying sometimes. NTs need to read situations and figure out when they're being taken advantage of. I mean I'm autistic and I can do that so...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being special needs, it's not an insult and it's not even really true with me, I'm aspie and that has strengths and weaknesses. I'm a lot smarter than he is and if I wanted to, I could be in a similar job to his.

I'm fed up of debating with people who don't have basic knowledge of the facts, which is different to debating informed opponents.

Thanks for this post! Very useful
Now I wonder how to become more productive.
Indeed it is really difficult to predict what will happen in the future, but everything is developing, you just need to act, do not stand still. It’s not easy to stay successful in the modern world without following the latest trends.
Now I wonder how to become more productive.
Thanks. I used to think I was annoying people by putting my to do lists up here but it's the way I get them done cos I'm publicly accountable then if I fail to do them. But I've had quite a few compliments on them.

Trying not to mention that guy Craig Thompson...
