What's on your mind right now?
I watched a YouTube video today and it made me sad for allistic people & wonder if this is 'normal' for people who aren't autistic.
It was about the life of a woman and it was all done through what people thought of her. Some of it was normal. But then there were bits where she changed her behaviour for others.
It started with her lying and saying she liked Danger Mouse when she didn't know what it was then when she didn't like it. Then she was dancing in the school playground and people made fun of her so she didn't dance again for five years.
Then she grew up and did a job she didn't want because her family wanted her to do it. It made her an unpleasant person. She didn't quit or change her behaviour, she just accepted this as her 'role'.
Some guy proposed to her and she didn't want to marry him. But her mother was telling her how awful it would be to die old and alone. So she married him. Then she had kids with him because that was the 'normal' thing to do. Even though she wasn't into him.
The rest of the video was normal except her dying young which can happen to anyone. But it made me think - do 'healthy' NTs do this? It seems very unhealthy. All based on dishonesty done to fit in. Never being true to oneself.
The marriage thing struck me as particularly wrong since it's such a life changing thing for both parties, don't marry people you're not into! Don't do romantic/sexual stuff with people you're not into!
But even the smaller things, how sad to not dance because some other kids made fun of it.
Made me very glad of all the times in life someone has asked me something and I've given the honest answer back rather than the 'fit in' answer back and all the times I've done something because I wanted to do it and didn't care what others thought. As long as you're behaving morally, other people's opinions of you shouldn't come into it.
Maybe part of this is because I associate the 'what would others think' so much with my worst years of having social anxiety.

It is horrible to hear stories like that. While masking made me fit in, one is programmed to think things. I mean... Take school for instance. Lets take one of the biggest questions we can ask as an example. (The answer does not matter here. What matters is how we reached our answer). Question. How or what made the earth and universe etc. Now if each one of us answers we will naturally get several different views. The two viesw are evolution or creation. Now how did we personally reach our conclusion? Most of us did because we were taught it and assumed it was true and generally we wanted to be percieved as fitting in. Only a few of us decided to take things a step further and do our own deep thinking and research for ourselves before we decided to adopt a theory, or come out with our own. Now I woud say the majority of people would not have thought for themselves but be backing a pre-concieved view because either they were taught it in school or church etc, or their parents taught them it. Now most will then carry on and not question because they are trying to fit in and be percieved of as normal.
It is an interesting thought.

And because all true... And they're all also false.
Pursue your own angle if you will.

College and university ARE hard work. They're definitely a taxing chore. That's why tertiary education is so well-respected. Most people who have attended have felt burnt out and stressed from the workload. It's not all all fun and games like the adverts will proclaim. You've said many times that you want to graduate college and that it's important to you, so I hope you're able to persevere.

I’d say it’s not fun at all since I am locked out of even standard socialization. I was also told I would meet a long term partner but I can’t even talk to the opposite sex without getting “f**k off” signals. Even if I do graduate, I still won’t be happy because I will still be single. These years of suffering are going to be all for nothing if I can’t have the love I want come into my life. Family love is not enough at all.
Calling the EPL the Premier League is almost as annoying as calling a baseball series The World Series when nobody else plays in it.
I kind of get it though because they don't have rules about how many English should be on the pitch at one time so you could have a game only English cos it was played in England & between teams from English cities but no Englishman played.
Theoretically having a rule you need 2 players of that country on the pitch per team at all times should help that country succeed. Idk why it doesn't. Maybe in a bigger country it would but Cal Mac and James Forrest become crap when they put on dark blue.
I'm normally pro immigration & don't like 'they're taking our jobs' rhetoric but when it comes to billionaire football, they just buy the best players & the rich get richer.
