I suspect parenting classes are in order, as well as a situational awareness of others being adversely affected by loud, unruly children. I had this issue until my son was an infant, then a toddler. My kid with ADHD/ASD is generally much better behaved than those (likely NT) kids.

I was a difficult child to bring up, but in public I didn't have tantrums really. My mum was rather good with setting boundaries that I could easily follow, also she let me bring a toy out with me to amuse me whilst she did her shopping. But also back then the store clerks used to tell children off if they were misbehaving, and being told off by a stranger is scary to some small children so they're more likely to take it seriously and behave more appropriately. These days authority figures like shop clerks telling kids off is frowned upon, so it's all down to the parents. But if the parents are the type to let their kids get away with thinking a store is a playground, or not being able to control them properly, then that's when the kids will misbehave and be even more irritating. I know young children are hard to control completely but there are ways to help keep temper tantrums at a minimum, and usually when I see children playing up or screaming, the parents usually look chavvy (I don't know the American equivalent for chav. Look it up if you don't know).

Forgetting.

Of abilities, words, concepts... Accomplishments are but memories viewed through a panel glass, than something I can actually do it again. The memories of when things clicked and had epiphanies, just went meaningless or forgotten all over.

I had to be reminded all over again. Of what things are called. Of the fine lines between the abstracts and concretes. Of who I'm and what I want. Of what I must do or could've done.
It's tiring. I've yet to find a way to unstuck myself from this.

I wish I don't have to mind myself all over again and focus at everyone else. :x I'm so sick of it.
If I didn't do this, I'd screw up and make things worse... It'll be like a waste of time and space all because I forgot.

I wish I don't have these lengthy 'maintenances'. My time are better spent on everything else other than myself.


Why can it not fit in internally despite how much it agrees with me? Despite the repetition? Despite the practice? Despite how vivid? Despite how much I look forward to do it again? Why waking up losing it all over again?
Despite years worth of precision only to fail all over and never producing the same results all the sudden?

Joe90,

I have seen this kind of behavior with kids in the library, too. They run around like maniacs. I wish the parents would take them to the park, a proper place for them to run.

Actually didn't know what 'chavvy' was. Looked it up. Now I know what it is and I couldn't figure out the American equivalent either. The French word for it is on the tip of my tongue, though. :-)

I hate my neighbours. They are unfriendly and are always coming and going, as in moving in and moving out, but it's like their friends and family move in and out, like they're swapping about all the time. So I never know who's who. It's like I live in a hotel or something. :roll:
And they're always in and out of their cars, loading things into or out of their cars, sometimes with blaring music coming from their cars. :roll: I hate the sound of bass music in cars, the low tone and vibration of it hurts my ears and even can set off my vertigo.
And what's more, they always seem to have kids I've never seen before, running around and shouting right outside my window. It's just so distracting. I feel like banging on the window and telling them to f**k off, but I can't. But I'm sick of these weirdos of neighbours coming and going, lingering about around their cars doing God knows what, slamming doors, having loud music and BBQs in the communal car park, and letting their brats run around outside the apartments. It is not even a child-friendly zone to play in, why don't they just take them to the park or something? Grrr, I f*****g hate some people. Why can't I just be rich enough to move away and live in a quiet little village with friendly and familiar neighbours in the countryside? But I am not, never will be. I've just got to put up living near f*****g annoying people who have no consideration.

One time I went to the library to kill some time before my bus was due, and this woman was letting her toddler run around the whole place, screaming at the top of its lungs. I don't care that the brat only looked about 2, the parents need to learn to control their brats in a public library, or get out. It's as simple as that. Small children should be taught that libraries are quiet places, not playgrounds for children.
But because everywhere is family friendly these days, we've all got to endure the sounds of kids and babies everywhere we go. Even babies are allowed in the cinema these days. When I was growing up, there used to be a rule where children under 4 were not allowed in the cinema, which makes sense because most children under 4 don't sit still and follow a movie very easily. I never went to the cinema until I was 12, because I had ADHD and so my parents thought that it wouldn't be fair on me or other people to bring me somewhere where I had to sit still and be quiet and follow a movie for 2 hours. They were right. But people these days seem to be allowed to drag their brats anywhere, except for bars at night.

Yes, for now I feel like crap. Offended, backhanded. Whatever.

Defensive side would rather roll my eyes and snide -- and ignore this. Or worse, jade my view on something that shouldn't matter.
If I were more impulsive or dumber than this, I would've called out and maybe threaten that person who unintentionally did it. Or harbor any hate for some petty reason.
A more patient part of me knows, it's not intentional -- it's just how it is. Regardless, it doesn't make it any hurt less.

I know why. I just hate acknowledging it.
I really don't like it. I don't like being... 'Sensitive'.
It's a trait that mismatched from a part of my core along with who I want to be.
I'm still working on.. 'Accepting' the very thing I've been fighting for so long. I'd still more likely be against it -- because I really don't like it. I just don't. I don't see myself like that, even if reality says otherwise.

But like any feeling -- it'll process on closure one way or another, and it'll end like any other.

I just keep stumbling upon these vague like epiphany that I barely had any words for. I always do -- whenever I'm at a state that happened to be wiser and more mature than I currently am.
Why can't I be always like that? :(


Envying myself -- my own yet natural and different state. It's me and it was as I had, yet couldn't always be. It's... Ridiculous. :x More ridiculous than being scared of self for having a shadow and a human malice that happened to be unspoken and natural in everyone.
More ridiculous than being green eyed at someone.

They survived famine so I could cheer 7 goals, fight with Rangers fans, flirt with women, crack jokes and do light petting with lads.

I do give to charity but nothing I can do can make up for what they put up with so I would be here today.


You think they didn't have fun too? Don't let what they survived utterly define their lives for you, they were 'full' people who did bad s**t and stupid s**t just like you and me and everyone we know and everyone we don't know. They survived hardship, but they also did enjoyable things to occupy time and distract from hardship.

Most of them who are disappointed are only disappointed that you're not cheering for their favourite club that went defunct 300 years ago.

What happened to actually enjoying things? Life shouldn’t be a cycle of staying strong and yelling at yourself and feeling a bit of comfort at best, not even happiness.

Thanks, I needed that. A bit like my stepdad (he's English of Swedish descent so what does he know but still) said 'it's not a shrine'.

I'm so fed up of being held to a higher standard because of what the club represents. And nowadays in most people's eyes I'm coming to realise it doesn't represent that and they hate us.

All I can do is 1 stay offline 2 not let them bother me when I'm online and 3 realise it isn't personal

I know what my blood is, I know what places I've been, I know what my values are, I know what I've gone through personally, I know what books I've read, I know the people who I know irl. No convincing the whole world of anything.

People online don't know anything about you----unless you choose to share the information.

Yes but when I say 'I've read this book and that book' or 'the books I read tell me' they choose not to believe me and say 'I don't believe you'.

Basically people (NTs) don't want to base their politics on what I say online but I have no other outlet and no other way to deal with it or convince them.

Most people are influenced by what they read. It doesn't make one right. It just makes one have an opinion.

People like to make you go around in circles. Don't let them do that.

The most important thing is to not frame your opinions as being "fact." Make sure the "listener" knows that what you express is your opinion (unless, of course, the facts are documented).

When they say they don't "believe you," all these people are doing is expressing their opinion. When they present their opinion as being "fact," then they are not credible, and not worthy of being listened to.

She said she didn't believe I read it. And I had. I know that my reading it is a fact.

I honestly thought she was stupid/naïve rather than picking a fight, she trolled me like that and the majority were against me. But all I was saying was 'it's controversial to use union jacks on that'. I never even said 'I disagree with using it'.

Maybe it's one of those things where they (NTs) read more into it than what is said. I have to tell my mother to take my words literally.

Then when I say us I mean - none of the EPL fans are bothered by the co efficient corruption and none of the non Celtic SPL fans like Celtic, if they did then they wouldn't make fun of us. We used to have people with a soft spot for us. All I can think has changed is the court cases but someone said 'they only act pc online' and it's making me question my online friendships with some very pc type people. I was in the English midlands at the moment, in the countryside and I needed that friendship even though it was only online. It felt real.
