Post something that made you UNHAPPY today.

My NT friend pretty much told me to my face that he has no interest in learning about AS and about how I might need him to understand Aspie-me differently than the standard-edition (so far) NT-pretend-me.

Awww, I'm sorry, Jennifer----but, at least, it seems he's still your friend?

I've gotten reactions, that were similar----the thought of what we have overwhelms them, because they don't know the first thing about it, and they've got their OWN problems.....

Actually, I'd RATHER someone said that to me----at least I'd know where I stand.....

Just don't try to talk to him about it, anymore----it'll only serve to opening yourself up, for hurt / disappointment.....

((((HUGS))))

As for what made me unhappy, t'day.....

The friggin' HEAT!!

Thank you, Campin_Cat. I have a very black-and-white definition of friendship (something I have always struggled with), so yes, he is still my friend, but what that pretty much means is that I am a friend to him through all his NT-self's challenges (and yes, he definitely has his own problems, so I am not mad at him for laying down a clear boundary), but he will not be a friend (at least at the moment) to the AS-me (though we will be friends with the NT-me because that is his comfort zone and I play NT so well).

I am definitely not bringing this up with him again. It is sad because I have known him for many years, and thought that having known me and having seen me struggle for ever, and finally find a diagnosis, he would be more open to supporting me as I go through this discovery phase. Alas, no.

But that is okay. This is all part of the journey -- and I do have this forum to use to connect with people to some degree...

I did not sleep well last night.

I was hanging out with some folks and I think I went into my AS-me mode and blathered on and on about something I like to read and think about, and (a) now I feel exhausted and depleted and have to hang out at work for a while, and (b) I feel like I overwhelmed the people and feel like a social loser.

I took my blood test last Saturday, and the results were supposed to come at least yesterday. I have no patience waiting, because I'm not sure if anything is physically wrong with me.

My eyelid is still swollen.

Does your doctor suspect something is physically wrong with you?

People keep asking me for tech support when I have no idea how to solve their problems.

How am I supposed to know why your windows tuntap drivers aren't working?? Last time I used windows was half a year ago kek

Actually, I was the one who came to that conclusion. I am overweight, and I have smaller veins, so it was almost difficult for the doctor to get blood out of me in the first place. The blood test I took is a routine one.

I failed my car rego yesterday lol. It wasn't the brake pads like I was worrying about, it turned out to be the rear struts. Though I'll probably have to get the brakes done when I take the car back next week for the struts. I wonder what else will be wrong (sway bar & bushings, maybe a CV joint or two)

This is the beginning of my car's decline, seriously. And it hasn't even got 90,000km on it yet.

Seems pretty draconian there with failing your horse.

RIP Christopher Lee.

That is so sad. RIP

Me too!
