I wonder what happens if I choose to be desperate and learn how to mask oddity back before I was diagnosed? :lol:

Or at least AFTER diagnosis? Would they call the appearance a success over the internal one?


I wonder what life I would lead if I choose the path of fitting in? (Even up to now people kept coaxing me to)
I don't have this internally struggling feeling. I almost never had been internally stressed. I don't feel like I can't keep up on many things. I'm rarely worried about anything.
I'm mostly calm in the inside despite my moods and my mind states, and I barely found a few that could actually disturb it.
And best of all, I have found ways to understand the confusing parts of what makes an NT. Which is ironic that fitting in and being social is the last thing that motivated me from trying.

You'll have to forgive me though, as often I say to my pet companion,"Flush,Flush,Flush the toilet Sophie"

did you teach her how to depress the flush lever?


No, as she does not have the muscle power to do such as, she is a teenager in terms of cat age yet, she allows follows me to the facility(restroom)

does she like watching the toilet flush?


No, not really just tends to follow me around the house a great deal as if I was going to leave on a
permanent basis, though I can understand as Sophie came from a unpleasant scenario prior to me becoming her guardian.

^^How did you manage that, Edna? I have two friends who just live in the moment mostly, so although they know what anxiety feels like, they rarely experience it. Is that how you do it?

Overcoming long term anxiety is a huge boost in my progress. It changed me from being avoidant and unmotivated, to an active learner who rarely got overwhelmed by chaos.

In my case, I just took it slow... Very slow.

It's been a tough week that's for sure

And this end/beginning of year nonsense really throws my sense of days, it feels like Friday, or Sunday?

Kiprobalhato, why does your signature say that you're not a mod, but your profile identifies you as a forum moderator? Just wondering.

have all the abilities and tools of a mod, just not acting as one at the moment.


i'm trying to get back into it, but goodness knows how long that may last.

@TPP - same here. :skull: it feels like a monday, somewhat.

^There was this young boy who could apparently fly, and he got into the habit of flying up to people's windows and sneaking around their houses. Meanwhile, his older sister and younger sister were looking for him, but since they couldn't fly they were limited to searching on the ground. The boy ended up meeting a prince [?] in some sort of mansion-type house, and then flew away to find his sisters.

I'm a little confused then. You said you've rarely been internally stressed in a previous post, but here, you're saying that you overcame anxiety. Did I miss some context or other? Or were you saying that your external circumstances created your anxiety?

I remember the huge bout of anxiety that I had last year around this time. I got very little support from my family last year.

I remember those old commercials for Lipton Sidekicks. I like the "Hotdog in my pasta" one.

Yes. But nowadays nothing gets me.
Compare about less than 3 years of feeling like a crap to more than 17 years of not feeling the same way.

When I was young, I was not pressured. :lol: Like most children, ignorance is bliss.
Then when I was a teen, that's when I had the desire (that could never be) and unanswerable questions (about NTs and human cruelty in general) that got me wasting 2 years of my life by being a depressed anxious wreck. Only times I thought of masking, only times I hated and envied people, hence only times I ever got internally pressured.
Then afterwards I got over it. Now the memory became laughable than painful.


So that's why I wondered what would it be if I took the path of fitting in...
