    Even when I eat less, I still get stuck on the toilet for hours. It’s like my body stores a week’s worth of waste.

    Exercise and fiber or coffee. Try oatmeal in the morning or cardio helps get your internal system moving. @Misery always suggests water- very important also.

    I deal with the same problem… IBS is quite the demon. Do you have POTS, by any chance?

    I am not ok with people telling me I need to stop hyper focusing on wanting a relationship.

    This, I think, comes along with the autism and seems to be something that most of us deal with, though the "target" of that hyper-focus can vary wildly. I know I have to deal with it, and I know what can happen if I let it get out of hand... is why I always warn people to be careful about it.

    Focusing on a goal isnt bad. But going totally overboard to the point where it starts to harm you mentally or physically IS bad, AND it wont actually advance you towards your goal; rather, it'll push you AWAY from it, guaranteed.

    On a side note, whoever came up with the "brilliant" idea to have an ultra-tiny limit on comment sizes in systems like these should be kicked by a horse and covered in bees.

    My response to those who don’t want me to focus on finding a girlfriend: I refuse to stop.

    Find an Aspergers dating forum that will speed things up then talk everything else on here :)

    @Markness No, "I refuse to stop" is not a patronizing statement. I think somebody misunderstands the meaning of the word "patronizing."

    That's great! I think setting mini-goals (such as overcoming anxiety, improving your emotional intelligence, or learning to be content being single to avoid coming across as desperate or needy) will make it easier to achieve your ultimate goal of getting a girlfriend.

    I feel a sting from the fact Valentine’s Day is coming up, especially since last year’s one didn’t go the way I wanted it to go.

    All it reminded me is that I was weird because I didn't want what everyone else wanted ,the true reason for it was a martyrs day \Saints day remembering Valentine if you choose to or you're Roman catholic and only having one spouse until one dies ,he championed monogamy over polygamy

    Yesterday my search was the 1st four sentences. And gave me no pertinent results. Today I tried searching using the 1st five sentences, and that does give the song in the first two results.

    I heard back from the new friend I made at the end of last year today!

    That was only a couple months ago. It's nice that you've heard from someone you met. It takes me longer than a couple months to know whether someone is my friend, though.

    Me too, tree. But it’s good that this person kept in touch with him. Maybe it will develop into a friendship! :)

    Excellent. Nice to hear!

    Someone who hates me didn’t want me to blame shift because it would “hurt yourself (referring to me).” Why would she care, though?
    L
    Luca
    Don’t know. Most of the people who have hurt me have maintained that it was entirely my fault. :(

    That’s so mean of them! It’s not your nor my fault!

    I couldn’t stay in the kitchen after my mother had Alexa play a song I can’t stand.

    Ugh, I don’t miss living with my parents for that reason lol. Especially their taste in Christmas music >:[

    Thank you! Do you ever feel like the light at the mouth of infinity shines for others but not yourself?

    Luca
    Sometimes… but I think my light shines for others too :) Part of what keeps me optimistic is making other people feel happy and welcome.
    Markness
    Oh no! I just got a notice from my bank that I have debt! :(

    Oh no! :( Hopefully you can sort it out.

    "have debt"?? Overdrawn checking? Or what do they mean?
    Markness
    Markness
    My checking was at $0 and some of my savings were gone. I suppose it was to prevent me from getting overdrafted.

    My back is hurting. I feel like Jacob Singer.

    I am living up to the broke part of being a college student but I don’t have the friends, nerdy/geeky girlfriend, and major in mind. :(

    Rainy and cold outside today. Listening to Orbital has helped remedy the bad feelings from those things, though.

    Was mild here today. 24 degrees F. Forecast is to be warm overnight. 20 degrees F.

    Did the pandemic spell game over for me socially?

    Fun bit about coffeehouses; most of the people there are also as isolated as us, and frequently I see people who aren't expecting me to be friendly. Which is funny--I wasn't expecting them to be friendly. So it starts with "nice hat" or "hey that's neat" and from a compliment you can get a whole conversation.

    (And no I didn't take up on his offer to join the local committee--I told him that I'd have to settle in town & take up residence first, otherwise I'd be some annoying out-of-stater showing up.) But no seriously--if you take the "date" thing out of it for awhile you can have a lot more interesting life. And if you end up finding a girl, then so much the better.

    Otherwise--you risk hanging your whole happiness on someone else who may or may not exist!
