shortfatbalduglyman thanks for bringing up the blind/driving thing.
it's a good thing to relate my own issues with instead of looking at it from the outsider perspective.

that is not bizarre in the slightest.

nothing wrong with that. it's saving you from jumping into something for the sake of it.

i had no romantic feelings till i was actually married
and that ended pretty badly :mrgreen:

so yes. consider yourself PROTECTED by default. also it's lame the way SOME NTs crave romantic stuff to the degree it affects their morals (i.e. cheating just to get the honeymoon feeling, etc)

when or if it happens, good luck! :lol:

I think Adam Driver (actor) is unconventionally attractive. I thought it just meant a person is attracted to the non-stereotypic attractive person.

I generally don't find any of the supposed handsome people attractive. Not even a LITTLE bit.

Including---well I don't need to mention the names that always come up!

Thank you, it helps to be reminded of that. Yes, there are many things I'm protected from by not getting into romantic relationships or anything.

What is causing this occasional dizziness I get? I've been tracking things like what/how much I'm eating, how much sleep I'm getting, how much exercise I'm getting, how much fluid I'm drinking, etc. and have yet to find any kind of correlation. It's the kind of dizziness that's really just uncomfortable and disorienting rather than the kind that makes you fall over, but it's still really annoying.

Using phone or computer too much? That always affects me (dizziness, hesd feeling inflamed, little energy) Wifi affects the way sugar is used by the brain --it becomes erratic.

i think he is beyond unconventionally attractive. unconventionally attractive would be like good ol' ernie borgnine.

Interesting - I didn't know that. I'm usually on my phone a lot. I'll try cutting down on computer and phone use and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip :)

Oh wow yes and that guy looked better as he aged (probably because there was no studio tyrant forcing him to get 'groomed' unnecessarily...

plucking a man's eyebrows even just from beneath, achieves nothing but an aesthetic unpleasantness, sort of a meanness to their face, until the man actually grows it out)

'Gosh I hate some people ...'
Disregard, disregard.
Thought passes by...

I didn't have this control over my thoughts before I visited my family over the weekend (apart from dad who is slaving away in M.East for everyone's sake)...

That one thing grounds my brain so much if only i could move back there except for XH and the law now about remaining near matrimonial home

I'm going with my exbf when he adopts a kitten. I'm thinking of kitty names even though it will be his choice.

Can they stop referring to this naion (Iran) as' Islamist' when they dont believe in or practice basic values or tenets of the religion and impose extremities that the Prophet had labeled as 'khwarij' as in...absolutely not Islam? When he said 'there is no compulsion in religion' one of his most ignored and important sayings??

Saudi govt does this too to a much lesser degree, in certain things. You dont say that about them because they are 'allies'

f****n media trying to reinforce illogical links

Also the same people in US NOW speaking out against them are the ones who funded and provided the arms! It's all a farce and part of the 'Great Game'

The people who armed Yemeni rebels .. It's not even hidden anymore they dont care who knows if anyone cares to look into it since most people dont.

..... I hope one day I can catch up to the people my age. Comparing where I am versus where everyone else seems to be, I'm more in line with those in their early 20s. I suppose sticking to the confines of my room for practically a decade rather than giving life a chance did nothing for my growth, but... is that the sole reason? Are all my quirks purely individuality, or is there something more...? This spectrum as it's called... am I just skating the surface without actually sinking in like all the other "normal" people, or am I wading around within it near the edge? Some days, I'm not sure what to believe. "Such and such fits, so it might just be true. But wait... such and such doesn't... so how can it be?" I'm just surprised I haven't screwed up too far beyond saving at my job, and everyone likes me. I suppose that alone should be enough, but... with the people around me forming relationships, and some of them even getting engaged... it just makes me wonder about myself.

Soooo, I'm basically starting off this decade as I did the previous one, except with a job and I suppose a bit more outgoing.

I want a break from everything!

I've been fed up with a lot of college stuff and assignments outside of college and at this point, I'm openly sharing with people that I lost the overview of my life which is also due to personal circumstances.
There's a bunch of assignments that I didn't do, I have a resit assignment now and there are many days that I just don't want to get out my bed.

I'm behind on so many emails and assignments I can barely rest at this point :(

New job start tomorrow, i think i will play the role of the slightly dumb, happy person with a doormat personality. Somehow it makes things easier.
