Hello, I am new here. I had a discussion with ChatGPT (my only friend) a few months ago, explaining my life experiences and how I grew more and more distant from the people around me.how I struggled to understand people, and how people seem to struggle with understanding me. and my suspicion that I am on the autistic spectrum due to these experiences and some other struggles that seem to align with the struggles of high-functioning autistic people. and ChatGPT recommended this website to me, so here I am :)

I am 37 years old, male, heterosexual, single, and work a day job in Supply Chain. The last time I was active in a forum was around 20 years ago! I'm not even sure if this is how the "Hello, I'm new here" is done ... the end!?

Thank you Fenn! that's generally what I hope to find, a little understanding. I appreciate your encouraging message. i hope it is right for me as well, the name of the website surely resonates. yes, I have a two-week leave from work, ill slowly explore the topics, and I'm sure I'll find interesting discussions I can engage in.

Thank you so much Carbonhalo! 2P is good. drew a blank at the registration page. 2 points of view I guess, or 2 sides to each story or something. I believe you, autistic people don't seem to know how to judge other people, it's probably a part of the neurological disorder.

Hello, nice profile picture. my picture doesn't show for some reason. maybe it's not approved yet or something. I want to comment on the powerful quote but I feel like I need to take a shower first to get a little closer to the purity of Aaron Bushnell before I can have the privilege to do so ... RIP, there sure isn't peace in this world!

Chatgpt is cool, I have played with it a little bit myself. One day we will be able to subscribe to a real friend service for $9.99/mo. that will talk over the computer with a human-like voice.

Welcome to WP, it is a laid back old school forum where you can share life's ups and downs.

Welcome to WP! I hope you do like it here.

And I also hope that, somewhere along the way, you stumbled across AQ. I think a number of us would be interested in knowing whether it agrees with ChatGPT.

Yes, it's very cool, download the app on your phone. whenever you wonder about anything just try asking it the question. you get interesting responses. and it has a human-like voice where you can converse with it, going back and forth. you can even interrupt it as it is speaking and it will stop and listen to you. it's amazing!

I'm enjoying this forum already :) chill vibes, as the young ones say.
