Usually I'm happy being a nonromantic asexual, but sometimes I feel like I'm missing a key part of life, some form of happiness that most people get to experience (romantic love), but I don't. But at the same time, I know I don't have what it takes to be a good romantic partner, nor do I really have the desire to be one. I guess it just makes me feel lonely sometimes, just another way I'm "other."


I'd imagine like most people when thinking of things they consider to be beyond their experience, you have a degree of curiosity over what exactly it's like. I wouldn't assume you're utterly lacking what it takes to be a good partner though, since what makes a good partner has a lot of do with who is being partnered with. I believe I'd be a horrible partner for the majority of women I've known, but there's been a few dozen who I've seemed to be a suitable partner for.


You're right, I do wonder just what I'm missing out on. And I haven't completely ruled out the possibility of having a partner. I think the problem might be less that I was a bad partner and more that I felt like I was, were I to have such a relationship. And it's entirely possible that I just haven't developed such feelings yet, and at some point in the future I might really, truly desire a romantic relationship.


No matter how that unfolds I hope you find satisfaction. :)

The State of Florida which already rates 48 or 49 of all states spending the least amount of money on services for people with developmental disabilities, including autism, is getting ready to strip dollars and services yet again. The new restrictions proposed are draconian. People needing 24/7 care will get only 12, for example. Has my head spinning.

Florida is a nice-looking state—but a real cheapskate!

Florida also ranks at about the same level of spending on public education.

Sliding back into the void of anxiety and paralysis. I have so much I want to do but I can't even start anything. I feel like my goals are out of reach, even though I could take small steps towards them, but for some reason, I just don't lately.

My marriage is falling apart, and I don't know what to do about it. My grades aren't as good as I want them to be. I haven't had as much time to study as I thought I would. I haven't set up any volunteering or anything. I feel overwhelmed.

This is why I need my mind occupied, all the time, with no room for any free-thinking. I have to fill my day with activities that leave little room for self-reflecting. If I'm left alone with myself for too long, I backslide into this, my self-carved coffin complete with my initials. :roll:

50 states here, each has its own central fair [mebbe it's spelled "faire" in UK?], it is the largest fair of the state in the city of Puyallup [Pyoo-yAL-up], and there are local county fairs in addition to the state fair. it is about a 3 hour drive from where i live out in the sticks, i just figured out a way to whittle my driving time to about an hour, take a transit shuttle from Olympia to Tacoma, a fair shuttle bus from tacoma to puyallup. total cost of the bus service is about 6 buck$ each way. as you can see, it is a rather involved process [2 bus transfers, each bus leg is an hour trip or two hours total each way]. then there is a matter of walking several blocks between the bus legs as each is a different bus company. btw, a fair is big countrified carnival thingie with rides and exhibits and lots of stereotypical fair food such as deep fat fried twinkies and oversized hotdogs and such.

Socializing in general! I can't seem to figure out any structure to it! I'm always wondering or questioning whether someone is a friend, acquaintance, how close we are, whether things are appropriate or not with boundaries, I don't know! One person is what people consider a friend yet I feel nothing the other I feel very strongly for but can't figure out where we are as far as how the relation is and what to expect or how to go about it!

This is all really stressing me out and I'm starting to regret trying to socialize all together...but, I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life...! I'm very confused...I don't know what I'm doing... :cry:

CIA interrogation

Stigma

Stigmata

Moot point

Slippery slope

Mantra: here and now


Some idiots are so manipulative, judgmental, entitled and arrogant, that they truly believe that they have a moral "right" to be happy at all times and if they are not happy, someone must have violated their stupidass "rights"


Happiness is not magic or special

"Mad" is not an emotion

"Sad" is not a catastrophe

Anger is not a felony
