| Yeah, life sucks sometimes. You'll get through it; we all do eventually. I'm still waiting though :? Yeah, I've been waiting a long time. About to throw in the towel and accept that I'll be victimized by all layers of society for the rest of my life, and just bow out of it. Go live somewhere where ... |

What an interesting thing to say!
Anyway, thanks for the well wishes - I need them.
I'm about ready to give up on anything resembling a neurotypically normal life. |

I just walked out on a job last week because my aspieness didn't fit in.
They valued "fitting in" more highly than getting the work done.
It sucks. I'm still having a hard time figuring out how to explain it at my next job interview tomorrow. |

They warm you from your mouth all the way down. |
