scale of -10 to +10, how do you feel right now?

I'd rather be an optimist and share about things that make me feel good vs. write about and dwell on things that depress me. Positive affirmations are far healthier than pessimistic negativity. Plus ~95% of this thread is <5 feelings accompanied by complaint after complaint after complaint. I'd way rather be a positive influence than add to the negativity. I tend to not post about things that bring me down because if I don't have anything nice to say I try not to say anything at all. All that and if anyone spends their time reading about me feeling pretty good, it's an example to all here that even those on the spectrum can have fun and feel good. It's not all doom and gloom, depression and suicidal thoughts. Sometimes I think people need to hear such positive things as a breath of fresh air to remind them that "hey, it IS possible for people like me to do things like that and feel pretty good despite this label of a diagnosis and all the negativity associated with it." Why would I want to post in this thread about <5 or <0 things & contribute to bringing others down instead of being a positive role model as someone on the spectrum with social & sexual success? I much prefer my approach as it may just change some mindsets from "impossible," to "I'm possible."

^ Because people love places like fakebook that are filled with nothing but the highlight reel of their lives? Clearly you missed the point B19 was trying to get across to you, that post belongs in another section of the forum dude.

Positivity is fine, as long as it is coupled with a nuanced understanding of boundaries.

In other threads, you have asked why you don't get the support you expect to receive for your revelations. I suggest the answer partially lies in the first sentence of this post.

Perhaps post 12 and give a hint if they want to know more, check the adult section for the intimate details.

Uh, this thread title asks how you feel right now & in general people post why vs. just a number. My post is in alignment with the spirit of this thread.

I intentionally wasn't explicit or pornographic about it. Sorry, not sorry. I'm not a Victorian era prude & embrace the fact that human sexuality exists and is a very enjoyable, positive, and healthy part of life. You're free to think & do as you please.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.

Goldfish, it isn't prudish to respect the dignity and privacy of sexual partners and not splash them around in a social support forum dedicated to AS support for adult and childhood members to read. There is a time and place and protocol for sharing intimate human sexual details, and it isn't in this thread.

There is a lot of discussion in the psychological world about why people have poor boundaries. The core point of agreement currently tends to be that events in their childhood caused a significant reduction in their own sense of self, and consequently some victims may inappropriately react in adulthood by trying to inflate that self in inappropriate venues and inappropriate ways, never having been taught appropriate boundaries as children.

I don't know if this applies to you or not, though your repetitive oversharing tends to make me think this is possible.

Family therapists are often very good at assisting people who that does apply to, to recover from poor boundaries, for those who think this may be an issue for themselves.

Please don't post intimate details of your sexual conquests in this thread again, nor in this forum, ok?

You're insulting my parents' parenting & suggesting I wasn't raised properly?

You're very clearly on the spectrum if you don't realize how offensive & rude that is. Hopefully my pointing it out as a lesson in not being so seemingly intentionally insulting.

Like I just said, I intentionally kept it PG vs. R rated by leaving out any intimate details.

You are distorting my request and my comments as personal attack on you, so it's clearly best at this stage if I refer the matter as a whole to the modteam for discussion and decision (in which I will not be participating).

7 I'm pretty drunk a lil high and things are ok my cat was talking to me she said mreeeoowww .... mreeoowoo... mreeowwwooo

Damn is it bad if I'm happy on this thread. Should be called how sh***y do you feel lol....

i don't know the exact post being referred to, but i think the US, as a society, needs to talk more, not less, about sex. my sister had the birds and the bees talk with her aspie son in age-appropriate detail starting at age 2. i applaud her.

i am at a 7, folks. i spent the day listening to live brass music with my husband (who loves sex).

gj may we all find peace and happiness and a proper balance of the humors

2ish.

Yeah, no kidding. I was feeling fantastic yesterday, posted why, but oh-noes it was related to sex so my post was deleted. Very bizarre. You’d think that even people on the spectrum would understand that sex is something that makes people feel good. Apparently it’s not allowed to be mentioned. Bizarre!
