If it's true that men and women who are straight can't be "just friends", then bisexual people can't be just friends with anyone at all. Everyone is their prey! Roar! :twisted:

Thinking of how relationships & friendships failed, probably due to my eternally damned nature not being able to perceive and respond appropriately to such.I guess such things are not meant for all persons. :(

Sometimes, when people are unique and special, it is hard to find a connection with others. The wavelength is different. Please don't blame yourself, as you are not to blame. It does get lonely though.

You are a warm and nice person, so in the end, it's their loss.

Like my nickname says, I am the Lone Wolf, have always been alone, also have trouble communicating and misinterpret things a lot. Makes things pretty hard, and I have wished I could turn back time an uncountable time. Am sorry for reactions, but I am who I am and hope people can forgive me. Like you, I mean no harm, just sometimes react in a wrong or strange way.

Some people see ASD as a blessing, but having a successful friendship, reacting in my clumsy way, seeing it crumble before my eyes, makes me think of it as a curse a lot.

All we can do is accept ourselves and try to figure out, piece by piece, how to communicate better. We do our best, and for that I am proud of you and you should be proud of yourself.

You make a very good & valid point through and through.

I hate not knowing what to say to comfort someone when they're going through something. I see people that are so great at it.

After a busy company picnic full of NT chatter, at an amusement park, with a 4 to 5-hour round trip, I felt like I was in full self-destruct mode yesterday. Very happy it was a passing feeling, and I feel human and happy again today. It was wise to take today off to do nothing after all that.

If I rent the two extra bedrooms to tenants and earn $$, what kind of problems could result and what is the correct method of dealing with the problems?

:jester:

Methods of :jester: unearned income :heart: , besides :mrgreen: stock market :mrgreen: , gambling

:idea:

My bones feel even weaker than they used to be and they were never that strong


Bored and tired of everything and everyone :ninja: , especially :jester: :jester: myself :jester:


Running out of things to do every day

Current routine has been on for over ten months

:mrgreen:


A classmate from :jester: aikido :ninja: told me that :idea: :idea: she is taking nine units of community college this semester. Computer information systems. Adobe Acrobat :jester: . And she is working :skull: part or full time. And she has to take the train to get to work

She already has a Bachelor degree in Theater


:jester:

Amazing

Because I feel so lazy :ninja: :ninja: not productive :skull: :skull:


Fear of failure

Only three friends right now

One moved to a different state, and I might never see him again. :heart: aikido instructor :jester: . When I write him Facebook messages, it says "read", but no response


One was the :ninja: Theater major :jester: .

Paranoid of losing her, so trying to not be too dramatic, extreme or imposing


:D


The other one, once in a while answers my email.

Other than that he doesn't see me unless he happens to have been at Trader Joe's at the same time as me


:heart:


"Life" is going nowhere


:D Almost zero homophobia and that is too good to be true :jester:

Uptight about when the next shoe will drop

"Life" can and will only get worse, not better


Nothing to do in "life"



No goals or motivation




:lol:

I'm wrestling with deleting items in my Amazon cart. It's a fierce and exhausting battle.

Yesterday at aikido , someone was doing :jester: iriminage :mrgreen: too fast and hard. And against my throat

But she might have been doing it correctly, from a different style of aikido

She was five feet tall and about ninety pounds and a white belt

But didn't want to tattle to the instructor because maybe I just have too many :lol:. Pain receptors :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :nerdy: :skull: or maybe she was having sex with the instructor



:mrgreen:


.


Paranoid nobody will ever make the mistake of hiring my worthless corpse ever again



:mrgreen:


:idea:




:D

Looking at whether to get certification in another area, though Networking is not my strongest
