Some positive things I can say about myself

Post Reply New Topic

Thanks! I also remember you said you were Level 2. This being the case, wouldn't it be evident that you have it to casual observer? I mean in my case I am Asperger under DSM 4 -- so I assume I would be Level 1 if I were to get DSM 5 diagnosis -- yet my Asperger is quite evident to others.



Then she doesn't understand genetics very well. Because things pass by both lines. In fact there is more mother to son then father to son genetics, since Y chromosome has less genetic information. For example, whether or not a man gets bold is strictly based on the mother's line.



From what I heard, its possible for men to have biological children at the old age. I guess the only problem is that he would have to find considerably younger woman to have it with.

Is he still married? If so, then I guess it would be harder, since his wife is presumably past menopause. But I heard there is a way around it. There are ways of putting an egg of a fertile woman into an infertile woman (his wife) and that way his wife will be able to carry his children still. They won't be biologically his wife's but they will be biologically his.

By the way, did his wife get a chance to pass her own genes with some other man? Or is she in a similar predicament?



I disagree with this analogy, because in case of abortion its no longer her body but her kids body. And by the way I fully support womans rights. I think women should have careers like men do and I am in favor of idea of women presidents, etc. I am just against the murder.

Incidentally, in India abortion touches on woman's rights issue in just the opposite way than it does in the US. In India, they oftentimes try to abort specifically female fetuses. So, in order to protect the female children, they made it illegal to disclose the gender of the children to the parents.

I think abortion within Indian context is just as wrong as within the US context -- despite the fact that it has opposite implication in terms of gender rights. And thats because I am against murder, period, regardless of the politics of it.

But, back to the comparison that you made, I am anti-disraction, basically. I am against destroying embryos through abortion *and* I am against destroying genetic lines through sterilization. So I guess if Marknis was the one who wanted to be sterilized, but there was a law that denied him that opportunity, I would be all in favor of such law. I think sterilization should be illegal too, since people might regret it later.

Its not as silly as it sounds since we both know that doctors killing the patients at their request is illegal (thats why Kevorkian went to jail). Well, sterilizing patients at their request or killing their babies at their request is the same kind of concept.

The point here is to stop people from having regrets about irreversible decisions that they made. I personally know a woman who regrets her abortion. She doesn't even call it abortion she says she "lost a baby". I am sure she wishes that some form of anti-abortion law was in place back at the time when she made such a bad decision.

Yes. But my mother is in her 80s, and she knows I have CPTSD and "the family curse", so she doesn't investigate beyond that. I also haven't lived with her in over 30 years, and I'm mute in her presence, so she doesn't see or know much about my personality.

Back to your topic Marknis. I'm very happy for you!

It starts tomorrow.

I have a lock on my door. The times she’s come barging in without knocking or asking first if its ok are when my cat sleeps on my bed for the night and he doesn’t get up to meow at me to let him out of the room. Otherwise, I can lock it and she has to knock first. In the past, she’s come in while I was using the toilet or my shower and I had to raise my voice to her to get out and wait. Even if it’s important for her (In her view), I tell her to wait until I say it’s ok.



Thank you, I hope you find happiness as well!

So you see, Mark—people do like you.

Never, again, think that people don’t like you.

I hope you keep that fact in your mind when you start thinking negative thoughts about yourself.

She doesn’t. Another thing I had to put my foot down on her with is my receding hairline. She and my grandmother would tell me they hoped I wouldn’t develop one since all my mother’s siblings (All male) had receding hairlines and they despaired about that even though they all married and had children. My mother even wanted me to have a hair transplant but in Texas, it’s only done in Dallas which is about two hours away from where I live and I honestly can’t stand being in a car with her nine times out of ten. This is also a factor in why I don’t go on family trips anymore. I’ve also read the procedure takes hours to do and can lead to uncontrollable bleeding in your follicles as a side effect so no thanks on that.

But what about those such as my ex-friends (People I knew in person) and those like Luhluhluh who have lashed out at me here?

I get what you are telling me, though.

Sometimes people become more easily irritated with each other over time, it doesn't mean either party needs to feel guilty for things ending up that way. Further, those people might have changed due to their own issues and not because of anything you've done.

Not suggesting any of those people are this way but some people have a 'bucket of crabs' mentality. When you and them are both struggling they're sympathetic; when they see you succeed they get bitter about it and try to pull you back down because how dare anyone get ahead if they can't.

Coincidentally, both of my ex-friends moved to Dallas. It’s the third largest city in Texas (Austin comes in fourth.) and I haven’t been there since 2016. I honestly don’t want to go there again until I have a partner even if one of my half-sisters lives there and some bands that go there but not Austin have shows there

I am worried how this topic plummeted while I was on my short break that was supposed to be longer.

Hi Marknis. Let me give you some pointers with regards to your question on how to be liked in WP. First of all, I am not criticizing you, because I am guilty of the same exact thing. So this is something that both of us need to work on.

Let me give you an example to illustrate something. In your earlier replies you said you liked Juliette because her replies were supportive of you. So maybe if you were to be supportive of other people in their threads then you would be better liked too. Obviously, just talking about yourself doesn't count as being supportive. If Juliette was just talking about herself, you wouldn't have said she is supportive, would you.

From the logical point of view, other people liking your posts means that reading your posts will provide some kind of positive feeling. As in, they had much better day because they saw one of your posts. Now, if you look at your current posts, would you honestly say someone would have a better day if they saw one of your posts? If the answer is no, then this is the answer to your question why you are not being liked.

In this thread they possibly felt "somewhat" better because they genuinely care about you and they saw you making some progress, which means that their effort to help you wasn't for nothing. Thats why you got a positive reaction. But their positive feelings would be a lot stronger if you were also to express concern about them and their lives, and try to help them just like they are trying to help you.

Like I said, I am not criticizing you, because I am the same way as you (most of my posts are just about me). So maybe that is just something we should both work on.

That's awesome . One thing I recommend for your writing is to see where you struggle and go through a second time with each part to add/change what's needed. For me, I'm not the best at adding details on the fly, so I know to go through a second time and think "he's in a pub. I should add some cobwebs in this part, a knocked over stool over there. What kind of people are in there? Ah. There should be some dirty mugs about."or "They're going through a path in a wagon towards a city. Where's the sun? And are there any people walking about?" Then I add things in to the story.
I have a simple thing I'm planning out, where, one part a day, I go through and add details. I'm not overwhelmed, and I can keep up with writing ahead as well.

I am not sure how this is relevant. Are you confusing this thread with some other thread by any chance?

Plummeted, like no one bothered replying?

Why keep replying if you've said you're taking a break?

I was replying about this part of the main post.

2. I have made some strides in story writing as well as drawing in the last handful of months.

Sorry for not being clear on it.

Keep up the good work Marknis enjoy your martial arts they will help you.
