That's the main reason that when I want to get fuckt-up I stick to other drugs. After my first hangover I decided I didn't get the appeal of getting really drunk; I've never really drank like some of my relatives, I've never looked at a 26er and thought "that's a good single serving".

That said, I also always keep overproof rum, white whiskey and vodka on hand.

I can't stand the taste of alcohol. Which is good, because I'm on meds where drinking alcohol would put me in the hospital (not just make me extra tired, but if I remember correctly, it would involve organs shutting down).

Last year I saw a famous comedienne sitting in a park with her friend and several dogs. I saw her and she looked at me as if to say a friendly, "Hi" but with a "Oh God, not again (another fan)" kind of look, so I smiled and looked down and away to show I respected her privacy. Her friend then smiled at me. I said hi to their dogs.

Celebrities should remember they would be nowhere without their fans. It costs nothing to at least be friendly.

Fans should remember that celebrities are still regular people, often people with deep-seated issues who might not deal well with being approached by random and overexcited strangers all the time.

I haven't felt a genuine connection with anyone for maybe 10 years. I have friends though i always take on a role with them.

I stopped bothering with having friends 9 years ago: not consciously, I moved 200 miles and never thought to find new ones.
And I’ve only just realised this! :lol:
Obviously I don’t miss it. :lol:

I'll be in a bad mood until the summer solstice.

I now take 11 pills every morning 8O Plus one in the afternoon and 6 at bedtime. 2 for allergies, 1 that's an iron supplement, 2 of the bedtime ones are so I can get a halfway decent amount of sleep, all the rest are to try to keep me from being so miserable that I actually would kill myself (doesn't matter if I want to die, it only matters if I would take any action on that desire).

I learned how to read when I was three years old.

Not much connection either. I like people well enough but out of sight out of mind.

I have been trying to continue an effort to break the cycle of weight issues in my family.

My two uncles both weigh about 300 LBS each but they both act as if they are the fittest people in the family.

I have never felt like I fit in anywhere for more than about five minutes. Sometimes I get those five minutes before I'm proven wrong. And yes, this includes my social skills group where most of the participants are on the autism spectrum, and also WP.

I'm terrible at being a good friend. Somehow something always goes wrong, and usually contact just suddenly stops with no explanation, but it must be something I do because I'm the one unifying factor in all these incidents.

I've reached the point where I don't want to inflict myself upon others as a friend. All I do is take, and what do I have to give back?

If you don't become highly invested it's common for friendships to run out of steam over time. If neither party is highly invested both will start to divest over time. It's not what you do, it's what you (and the other party) don't do - which is to keep making an effort to be friends.

I doubt your friendship is something to be inflicted.
