For when ppl talk about fatigue to exposure to American superhero comics or complain about the 'weirdness' of East Asian culture/Japanese anime and manga, they can look at an entire industry of comics still very much made by 'white ppl' .

I just put in my housing application for fall. I'll have a roommate. Actually in my room. Living with me in a tiny enclosed space. And I have never met them before in my life. Im going to die

(plus theres no kitchen <sigh>. Not even a fridge. Im literally downsizing and I'll be an upperclassman....)

Dancing in the form room of my classroom when I was a teenager or maybe maths room.

[b]I AM THINKING ABOUT HOW UNFAIR LIFE IS. FOR SO MANY. HOW SCARCE REAL LOVE IS. HOW LONESOME PEOPLE CAN GET, ESPECIALLY NEAR THE ENDS OF THEIR LIVES. WHY CAN'T MORE PEOPLE BE CARING AND FRIENDLY OR LOVING? PEOPLE ADOPT ANIMALS TO HAVE SOMETHING/SOMEONE TO LOVE. HOW LUCKY I AM TO HAVE TWO PET CATS AND A DAUGHTER AND A GRANDSON. NOT TOO MANY OTHER LOVES IN MY LIFE. WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE.
WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE FRIENDS OF ANY AGE.[/b]

welcome.

Crippling existential ennui and loneliness.

What is the origin of that feeling of "ennui?"

I'm not entirely sure. It's kind of just something I feel sometimes, without explanation. It's hard to put into words. I've been struggling with some feelings lately that I just want to go away, and I need a support circle that just isn't there right now. It feels like whenever I get excited or look forward to something it comes and goes, or never comes at all. I'm also feeling so alone right now that it causes me physical pain but I don't know how to fix it.

Edit: I am currently unemployed, and live alone, so that is likely the cause. I'm sorry, I'm not thinking too clearly right now. I quit drinking months ago, and haven't once thouvht about going back to it since, but I'm finding myself kind of feeling the urge now.

That's exactly how I've been feeling. Having alexithymia doesn't help, does it?
I hope things turn the corner for you, soon.

I know it's not the same as actual personal contact----but at least you have us here on WrongPlanet.

Do you have an interest in: Autism, History, Economics, Politics, Sciences, etc?

I've actually never encountered the word athexilymia before now, although I was apparently aware of the definition more or less, since I have read a little about ASD, and knew about the difficulties with empathizing. I'm not sure I was aware of the full extent of what it meant though, so helpfully that's helpful moving forward. Anyway thank you. I think I'll feel better with time but this is a cyclical thing and I know I'm gonna be back before too long. I don't know what to do about it. But it is nice to know there is someone who at least understands.



It really does help knowing there are people going through similar things. And it's a lot easier for me to type than it is to talk in situations lime this because it causes a pain in my throat. As you can probably imagine, this makes it difficult to talk to people offline. I do have some interest in history, and a little in science but not too much. I've done some reading about autism, since I was diagnosed with ASD.

I have a lot of nervous energy and feel like doing calisthenics.

Going to a meditation retreat would not result in becoming ( a more clothes-wearing) Dr. Manhattan.

I tend to put on really loud metal music and pretend I'm in a mosh pit. That probably won't work for everyone, so calisthenics might be a better idea. Although dancing might work as well?

That my closest friend from work recently miscarried and that I wish there was some way for me to help her out in her current situation.
