I had a really crappy, yet oddly cathartic day today. I think I've finally moved past a lot of things and I feel a lot of relief.

There was a time that I felt that I was too old to be on WP on the account that I was into The British 60s. That was between 2010 and 2012. I haven't felt that way for the past 5 years. I've found my true place on WP and in the world.

I often wonder if I'm too sensitive or insensitive and how my autism shapes my worldview. No matter how strongly I feel about something, if the majority of other people don't feel the same way that must mean I'm wrong, right? I don't really know what to think or what to feel a lot of the time.

I'm wondering if being cold burns more calories, because your body has to burn more energy to make you warm... It's freezing here and I better be getting some benefits from this. lol

I might consider getting dailies contact lenses...
Faceshields, even the disposable; lightest and flimsiest variety, makes my glasses feel heavier than it should and a hassle to carry.

But it'll be costly. Maybe too costly. All for lugging the faceshield around.

If you're shivering, google suggests this is the case. Probably just a little though.

I'm not shivering. Darn it.

I often wonder what the world will be like, 100 years from now.

I have failed at life.
I wasted years studying and I barely passed my degree.
I would have been better off quitting or doing something instead.
Long gone are the days that a degree guaranteed a job.

I'm not a Nazi by any means. I'm just a very different person.

Do people think you are because you're proud of your roots?

That's not fair.

I've been thinking about the weird socialising I'm doing lately and how it might affect me.

I have only seen immediate family since March in terms of face to face.

I have used social media every day.

I have no way to meet up with people safely because of Covid & having acquaintances rather than close friends.

Only exceptions have been family friends we met in the garden and the occasional shop interaction.

I think this is creating in me a notion of what Lindsay Ellis calls 'thing bad' and 'thing good'.

That is probably the reason why I am in such a negative and angry space all the time.

Since I started a new reddit account where I don't check up votes and down votes, I have felt freer to express myself on reddit & it has created a sense of 'choose what to read about for yourself by searching it out, read about it, comment how you actually feel, sort by old-new'.

I need to find new strategies to do that on other sites now.

Because chances are of seeing someone through art or football etc - someone who is unlikely to hate me but doesn't unconditionally love me - is unlikely until summer.

Lego.

My granddad got me a Lego set for last year's birthday.

I'm nowhere near smart enough to do it.

Mum and stepdad will probably want it out of their house.

It cost Granddad £100.

I feel guilty about that.

I am in much the same position

People keep telling me how important it is that I have a college degree, but it took me six months or more to manage to get a job both times I tried, and both were positions as a part-time janitor, both so desperate for employees that there was no real interview, just a session to fill in paperwork, and the first one, my boss was asking me to work extra shifts every week without exception and asked me multiple times if I knew anyone else who wanted a part-time job. Doesn't seem that degree has done me a lick of good.

Once again feeling very "other," I've been reading too much stuff from other people diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome and seeing again the huge difference between them and me (because I'm probably ASD level 2 by today's criteria, not level 1, probably just got the AS diagnosis because I had no speech delay).

Currently wondering if rat terriers make good service dogs... I have other dogs in mind, but I really like rat terriers.

Yes they do and they also think I'm a Nazi because I like Trump.

Especially 76 years after WWII ended.
