People love to take advantage of me and I don't know why, nor how to stop it or fight back if it's really bad (e.g. ex L and L clerk lying evil people).

we all tend to learn through trial and error. the pain you lived through form dealing with L will probably make you wary of similar abusers.

That's a good take.
It is actually my fault as I dont learn or dont handle it properly so it worsens .


Allow it to happen or contribute to it perhaps

Other ppl (including you) would probably be brave and smart enough to at least try to fix things in a good way.

Or in an assertive but polite way. Not just watch things happen and moan after the fact

I think that people with NVLD have intact social drive and social motivation and if someone with NVLD does not think about being loved (for example by parents or siblings) and having close friendship, then that person should be considered autistic (I think that core of autism is pathological nonconformism, diminished social needs, motivation and drive, it is something like schizoid disorder which lasts since childhood). Other important symptoms of autism are social inadequacy (for example lack of thinking about looking at eyes) and peculiarity of emotions, though content and behavior. For me autism is not necessary about sensory processing issues and anomalies, non-verbal thinking, speech delay, need of sameness, speech delay, weak central coherence and even deficit of intuitive theory of mind - they are symptoms of just one, quite popular, sort of autism - someone with "simple autism" (name formed analogously to the term "simple schizophrenia" in which there are no most "classic" symptoms of schizophrenia like delusions and hallucinations) with no desire of being loved (possibly with the exception of sexual or romantic partner), no craving of close friendship, marked dyssemia and bizarre thoughts and emotional processing may be sometimes lower functioning that someone with "traditional" variant of autism (with the same level of intelligence and functional language) - comorbid disorders and environmental factors may also strongly contribute to level of functioning of individual with an aucorigy (developmental disorder characterised by "autocontrast" and "originality" (low social skills despite higher IQ and being "odd", "strange")).

I've been accused of having an obsession with weight loss.

Many males in my family are obese as am I, but I do not want to continue this tradition anymore.

I'm only starting a record label so that I don't have to deal with getting rejected by labels I don't run.

I haven't thought about what I actually want to do since college. I've accepted for years the fact that I'm in a position where I have to take whatever job I can get (as long as I'm actually capable of performing it) and if I try to be at all choosy, I'll just end up staying with no job.

As an example, I was a part-time janitor who doesn't like cleaning because it was the only place I could find (after six months of searching and applying to several jobs every week, probably over 50 total) that would hire me (and I only got that job because they were desperate for employees - as in, my boss was asking me to cover extra shifts nearly every day and asked me multiple times if I knew anyone else who wanted a part-time job).

Biology. I decided a long time ago that I didn't need to have a career in it, though, and I haven't had any career opportunities in that area.

I also do not drink alcohol and think that it is good to not drink ethanol at all, especially for recreative purposes or especially intoxication.

I can say that I have problems with writing posts on forums last times.

I have delusions or something alike that women don't have internal organs, shameful body parts and physiological needs.

I have major sensory issues with wind, if it's windy and I have to go outside it instantly puts me in a bad mood.
