An experiment.

A writing experiment.

From now on being non-reluctant to write the words 'want','agree','right' and 'wrong' with a dash through them like their curse words because they are dirty words to me.

Additional words (like care) can be added.

I hate the ignorance related to aspergers/mental health in general. Willing ignorance makes me so mad i can't stand it. What you see as a grand tragedy is my life and i don't feel a bit sorry about it! Even if i'm not able to work i'm still a valuable person no matter what you think!

^(hugs back) it's ok i'm probably being paranoid but sometimes i feel like a certain person is underhandedly criticizing my life choices. I'm very anxious to start working again because of my past experiences and i've made peace with the fact that even if i don't work it' s not the end of the world. I'm probably overthinking things but i feel very defense these days so i just needed a rant :)

Even if you don't work it's not the end of their world, either!
I wonder why other people hold such vested interests in our lives, as if they were their own?

I thought you were implying you were denied that new job. I'm glad that isn't the case!

If only i knew! No no, i haven't even gotten an interview yet, probably next week. I'm stressed and in a defensive mood however. I feel like i'm constantly trying to prove my worth to people and it's exhausting.

A drop in the stress level can bring on a migraine.

I know that feeling, as there have been several times where I've submitted my resume via an online portal to job choices that more or less matched my qualifications, never to be heard from again, so I can sympathetically relate in literal terms.,

Eyes sunk deep as they'd be in death,
I never sleep, 'cause apnea interrupts my breath.
In all life has resemblance to a dream inside my mind.
You'd think I'm high when I'm in an insomniac state of mind.

Yet another disappointment, in a long series of disagreements.

I risk a lot in skipping over the details and rationale for this; I think I improved at understanding this.

'Friendship' (like customer service) *is* socializing albeit apparently a kind which you are deeply fond of, possibly to a point of a quasi-interdependence (something which is more often considered a feature of intimate relationships). It is possibly what could be considered 'socializing at it's most innocent/optimal' (think kindergarten age children interacting with others for the first time) which is why it's so 'idealized'. Before the tomes of sociology, psychology and (difficult to accept for someone who has issue with picking up on non-verbal communication) linguistics or apparently before (unwittingly(?)) submitting to power structures like gender, race and classism, there is this.

A 'simple' definition of socializing: friendship. More than 'non-enemy-ship'.

Digimon's first season and the characterization for Matt and Tai didn't really help. As fun as it is to see a cross between a (digital) 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'The lord of the flies', it is ultimately unrealistic to think that daring adventures with monster companions will translate over to a typical 8 year old attempt at 'hanging out' with others.

For the sake of others, please :lol: do not mistook 'horror' with 'humor'.
