    Are video games more addictive now than they were in the 20th century?

    When my brother and I were young we played and owned a number of consoles and games over the years, like the Atari 2600, the NES, and the Sega Genesis. My two cousins had a Turografx 16 and I would often play games on it while visiting them. But we had other interests too and I do remember some...

    Why did they change the appearance of this site?

    I really hate it. It looks really weird and confusing. It gives me the creeps, even. Oh well, I guess that comes naturally whenever something is changed. I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually... and then they'll probably change it again.:rolleyes:

    Can't stop looking up about anything to do with suicide

    All day and night I keep looking up and googling about suicide. The world is doomed anyway so why would anyone want to go on living? Why die a slow an agonizing death from radiation poisoning when you can end it quick and painless? So I keep looking up whatever I can find about suicide except...

    Do any adults actually LIKE the holidays?

    It seems like all adults, both NT and ND, just absolutely loathe the holidays and see it as nothing but a bunch of torturous rituals that they, for some reason, put themselves through every year. My parents seem to like Christmas, though. Especially my mother. It was hard trying to get her to...

    Feeling guilty and anxious because I'm a hoarder.

    I have too many toy, doll and plush collections and I know it, and I know I should get rid of them but it's too hard to decide what to keep and what to give away. I'm not very attached to other objects like clothes or old papers or whatever but I have a spare room that's so full of plushies I...

    Why is everying I like wrong?

    Everything I like or enjoy is politically incorrect, evil, unhealthy, worthless, corrupted or made by people who should be in prison if they aren't already. Especially my collections. I'm sick of the constant shame and guilt. Maybe I should only care what others think and burn everything I...

    Every second of my life is torture

    I can't stand it, every second feels like an eternity and I can't think or focus I just want to die. I can't go on living in a world ravaged by covid and filled with idiotic human pieces of filth. I'm just a waste of oxygen I'm completely worthless why can't I just die? Why do I have to be so...

    Hope I die before I get old(er)

    Talkin' 'bout my g-g-generation! But seriously, I'll be 47 in only a few more months, and as if getting older wasn't bad enough, it's always "boomer" this and "boomer" that like all senior citizens are horrible now. Yesterday I even saw an Ask Reddit question about what you would do if you were...

    How do you sell things on Facebook?

    I'm low on money this month and I have some extra things I thought I might be able to sell, maybe on Facebook Marketplace, but I don't know how and covid 19 isn't helping. I don't have a car so I can't just bring stuff to other people if they want it, and I know they won't come to my apartment...

    What are the symptoms of a nervous breakdown?

    Is there any way to tell if I'm having a nervous breakdown? Will I just shut down and become indifferent to everything? I wish I could. I wish the world ended in 2012. I wish I had the guts to kill myself. I should have done it years ago. I'm sick of living in an unlivable world.

    What's the last weird or unusual thing you've learned?

    Today I learned about a tiny little (and actually quite cute) spider that lives in Australia. It's called the peacock spider, because the male has these very colorful wing-like coverings wrapped around his abdomen, and when he sees a female spider he raises them in a fan-like shape to attract...

    Why are people so judgemental?

    It's not just autistic people, it's anyone with a disability that's easily noticed. My father suffers from hand tremors, and today my mother told me that people have been telling right to her face "Wow your husband hit the booze hard last night, his hands are shaking so much". So, these people...

    My 3DS Broke!

    Today my 3DS just stopped working for no obvious reason and I have no clue why, although I did discover some damage to it. I guess I just dropped it one too many times. I'm really unhappy because I was going to make a New Year's Video of Animal Crossing: New Leaf tomorrow for my YouTube...

    Tell a blatant lie/Fabulous Fib

    Aspies and auties have a reputation for always being truthful, so here's a thread that shows how creative we can be by telling an obvious and/or outrageous whopper of a fib. Here's one of mine: I never speak to my cats in baby talk. Izzin dat wight, my widdle smoochy-woochy babbeh...

    Love is really a disease!

    It must be, it's the only way it makes any sense. A person can be completely, passionately in love with someone else, and then it fades and the formerly lovesick person wonders why they were interested romantically with them in the first place. And I'm always hearing about NT women both on WP...

    Do you ever feel anxiety and dread about seeing a new movie?

    Have you ever put off seeing a movie, even though you've heard that it's really good and it looks like a movie you'd enjoy seeing simply because you feel anxiety at just the thought of having to give it your undivided attention for at *least* an hour and a half? That's how I've felt for years...

    Ever hate trying to watch TV or movies with other people?

    I've been this way ever since I was in my early teens. I prefer complete privacy when I watch a show or movie I actually like, and if there are people in the room with me, or even worse, watch it with me, I get very uncomfortable and can't focus on the show. People can't understand why, but I...

    Memory problems after awakening?

    Is is strange to have problems remembering simple things right after waking up? Today I slept in very late, had some rather uncomfortable dreams, and when I woke up I tried to call my parents on my phone but had trouble remembering their number and even the area code even though I've dialed it...
