Post something that made you UNHAPPY today.

Trying to edit a webpage and there's a one-pixel-wide white line along the edge of one element and I can't figure out (in the rat's nest of this site's code) where it's coming from.

Lack of empathy of certain NT's around me.

I'm really tired of how NTs "speak in code" -- by which I mean they don't say what they fully mean, and expect you to extrapolate the real meaning or the question they are asking, hidden in something they said.

I know enough to get a vague idea that they have just done this, but not enough to catch it RIGHT AWAY and be able to respond with what they were fishing for.

I just know there was "fishing" but my processing is so slow that it's only later, sometimes hours, days, or even longer, after having ruminated over the conversation and had to take it apart like car parts to find out what was making the rattling noise, finally the "penny drops" and I realize what that person was actually asking or saying.

It always seems to come in the form of a statement that seems like a non sequitur to my mind. But the seemingly out-of-the-blue remark carries an inherent question, except that they don't just ASK THAT QUESTION or ask for clarification.

And I don't even think to ask for clarification from them precisely because my processing is so slow that I don't instantly fully recognize that I need to.

Example "I saw you talking to her yesterday" and I later realized the person was also wanting to know "What was that about?" But when she just said "I saw you talking to her yesterday" I didn't know what she was getting at and I just said yes.

We were both left confused. And this happens throughout a conversation.

Why can't someone just say the whole, full thing they are "getting at" instead of make a half-remark and expect to you to fill in the blanks, understand instantly where they are going with this, and make your reply based on this telepathic BS?

It is raining outside and I have to go out in a few minutes.

Bronchitis. I'm so damnably weak.

Got a horrible case of bronchiosauriasis.

My neck has become sore, scaly, green, and twice as long as my body.

I have work in one hour.

People give retail jobs a lot of crap, and I must say it is not undeserved. Soon I will start looking for a new job, I can't wait for that day when this can happen:

i have a cold.

I’m having a very bad cough to all the dust. The sun in my living room windows & my kitchen sliding door are TOOO BRIGHT for me, causing soooo many problems. I really hate living here!!

The gf had a seizure yesterday and had to go to the hospital.

My routine was derailed by power outage.

My back feels tender, and having problems sitting up straight. I've started working out again, so that will help as long as I keep doing it.

I bought four used video games and two of them didn't work.

anxiety.

Lurking below a general good mood that's lasted a few days, I'm having serious jittery/thoughts-flying-everywhere moments due to a very slight increase in my contact with others outside of the family. It's an extremely positive change for me, but I can't stop my heart from racing like a maniac when my mind starts dredging up every time in the past decade or so I've managed to embarrass myself.
