| I would like more energy, and no more insomnia, being able to sleep 6-7 hours and then just popping out of bed to have a productive day. Less phone anxiety, better negotiation skills, the ability to conquer and complete tasks instead of having them pending for months. Also, I would like no difficult... |

| What your friend told you was *probably* well intentioned, but it was also dismissive. NT people bring up physically disabled people, or autistics who are non verbal or need daily support as people that "have it worse" to make it seem like Aspies and highly verbal autistics have nothing to... |

| I see what you mean! I tend to approach these kinds of situations with a "they are going to say no anyway so might as well get it over with" attitude. Which sounds self defeating, but I did get the desired result, which is me doing something about the situation. And sometimes, holding your... |

Mostly because I have no friends of any kind except my fiance and his mom, and my coworkers, and I do not like most of my extended family. I'm supposed to get married in the late spring... |

| I get highly irritable and may start yelling or throw soft things. Usually I try to get to a quiet place, or go to sleep if possible. I have insomnia, so they are triggered by not getting enough rest, and being stressed out, which is often lol. |

| Being more of a listener, and giving non-committal comments of approval ie. "that's great" and "wow, that's cool". Also follow up questions like, "what happened next?" Then take more breaks like going to the bathroom or going to get a drink to get a social breather. Hop... |
