    Feeling extremely low again

    My parents and those who bullied me at school (Including college.) as well as work certainly have made me wonder that. I just wonder if I can overcome what I’ve had to go through and turn my life around at my age.

    Men seeking Women vs. Women seeking Men

    Which book are you talking about? I definitely agree about the scientific method and I find it ridiculous when it is dismissed by religious fanatics. I’ve even seen supporters of Young Earth Creationism accuse those who understand evolution as having a religion, even calling them...

    I’ve never watched an episode of Golden Girls. I honestly didn’t know about it until ten years ago.

    Feeling extremely low again

    Sometimes buying a new comic book issue helps me feel better. I need to buy a replacement card for one I accidentally caused to get soaked so that could help as well. I usually don’t work on Sunday and Monday.

    Feeling extremely low again

    Do I just need to keep making actions in that regard? I need to eat less than I usually do and I am making a habit of sleeping earlier.

    Men seeking Women vs. Women seeking Men

    The funny thing is that some of those people accuse me of being “brainwashed” (Ha!) by the public school system and being a fan of Richard Dawkins! I was actually made to go to a religious private school until the second half of 8th grade and even the public school I attended had a religious...

    Men seeking Women vs. Women seeking Men

    Ditto to this. I wish for a world where either sex can seek partners without judgment nor stigmas.

    Feeling extremely low again

    Despite making my best efforts to get out and socialize like I’ve been posting on my status updates lately, I still feel very low in my overall emotional health. Today, I feel particularly low. At my age (37) and current life-status (Part-time work and no college degree.), can things still ever...

    Tried to give up but I just can’t

    Those who used to be my friends and stopped for whatever reasons they had knew I was single and wanted a girlfriend. If they saw me now, I fear what they would say, especially if they found out I am still struggling with the same issues.

    Tried to give up but I just can’t

    I still get flashbacks of constantly being told (Sometimes screamed at me) by my parents that I didn’t need a girlfriend, I was too introverted, and I had nothing to offer. It didn’t help that they also kept me stuck at home when I wasn’t at school. I make attempts to socialize but they don’t...

    Jim Butcher discussion

    I finished reading Cold Days and started on Skin Game. I also read two of the comic mini-series, Ghoul, Goblin and War Cry. The comics are really good from what I’ve read. They are also canon to the novels.

    What is the good in your autism?

    It helped me challenge and eventually overcome the brainwashing I was subjected to in my developmental years.

    How can I have a more positive year for 2026?

    One where I interact socially more and have better results than the previous year. So far, some things have been positive. Expanding my wardrobe has also gotten me more positive comments than before.

    Tried to give up but I just can’t

    But what can I really change, though? My struggles aren’t exactly the easiest to manage and without a script, I really don’t know what to do. I’ve actually had someone get hostile at me for being an adult but not knowing what to do. This person also got hostile for showing empathy to them...

    Tried to give up but I just can’t

    I’ve sometimes been asked if I want a relationship to appease my parents or to give them grandchildren. The reality is that my parents didn’t even want to be parents themselves but has children anyway and they actually discouraged my siblings and I from ever giving them grandchildren. Well, they...

    Tried to give up but I just can’t

    If I could summarize my struggles in establishing a romantic relationship, the biggest factors would be: 1) I am socially isolated and an outsider in the culture I live in. The fact I was bullied by others and still have to deal with a control freak mother does not help at all. 2) Even when I...

    Tried to give up but I just can’t

    Thank you for your kind words. I really hope one day that all the time will have been worth it. I definitely know that not doing anything will certainly lead to nothing. I’ve just made attempts and sometimes things look promising but then what I hope for doesn’t happen.

    Jim Butcher discussion

    You should definitely read them. It has a unique take on fantasy with the ‘Lost Roman Legion’ angle and I found the main protagonist’s struggles analogous with autism. I like Lovecraft’s fiction so I would most likely enjoy the Laundry Files.

    There’s a Brazilian restaurant in Austin but I still haven’t eaten there. Their cheapest meal is $50 something.
