Finding employment because my mind refuses to find Java interesting. But alas, out of all the disabilities/conditions/disorders in the world, autism happens to have the lowest employment rate of them all. However, this statistic could of course be misleading as there must be many undiagnosed autistic folks who are functioning in society. It's still somewhat of a slap in the face, though. :(

The most hurtful thing you can do to someone is silence. It's a complete lack of responsibility and it does the most long term damage to others.

I dunno, I've garbled things up and made it worse sometimes by opening my mouth.

Given the choice between "ghosting" someone and confronting them directly, I'd rather put them out of my life completely than risk making matters worse through further conflict.

Yes, call me a coward if you want to (just once, please), but conflict avoidance is really is an effective strategy for dealing with jerks.

Having been on the receiving end of silent treatment on an almost daily basis has given me little incentive to treat others differently.

I should have put more clarification into that one. Ghosting someone who cares about you is a terrible idea. It leaves them with the least amount of closure possible. I've done it in the past and had it done to me. Ghost as*holes all you want, I do it.

Just venting my inner monologue like a fool

It's starting to really settle in. I'm stuck in this hell hole for the next 9 months. I'm going to get so bored unless I make friends. Kill me now :eew: Why am I such a f**k up.

Worst of all I only know of one person I used to be friends with that's still here, and we parted on bad terms back in middle school. I'm going to have to talk to him and that frightens me. Otherwise it's going to be a lot of back and forth between my parents houses and having them both pull at me to do stuff with them. *super heavy sigh*

I'm tempted into getting a bad loan just so I can live back in the college town I left so I can be miserable there.

^^^ Middle school was the past, so don't get too worried. :)

Wine and cheesecake feels celebratory. I feel better now.

Thanks ^

It's not old feelings I worried about, it just feels super weird reopening a dialogue with someone after 7 years.
