Which is easier to deal with: cats or dogs?

Cats do seem less demanding. Though they can also be more aloof from humans.

I've had both as pets in the past. Enjoyed them all.

Me and my cat were pretty much always together. People were surprised that a cat could be so "clingy". Cats tend to be more independent than dogs I think, maybe they can be more aloof, but if you want them to be, they can be just as loyal as dogs in my opinion. Thing is, you can't really take your cat with you when you go out, if that's important to you, a dog might be better. Either way pets are wonderful :-)

I got to stop saying "Hey" to new people. 99% of the time they ignore me when I do.

Maybe an open ended question hey how are you?

No when I say that to women force of habit they give me the death stare resting face then walk away.

I don't want to leave my room or the house no more. The outside world is not nice and hates me.

Thank you. My current church I do too but with so much pain and anxiety I tend to push them away with my h hate but they still accept me.

Ever wondered how common your birthday is?

I've met 3 people in my life that share the same birthday as me - two of them being exactly my age too

I actually have a book someone gave me on my birthday many years ago about all the famous people on earth sharing the same date. I found it amusing.

My mother is psychotic if she seriously believes half the things she says. She has my pity, but she no longer deserves my attention.

My own well being should be my top priority. I can't take care of others if I don't take care of myself first. It all starts with my personal boundaries.

My package couldn't be delivered to me today due to animal interference. I only have an indoor cat, but we have several stray cats in my neighborhood, as well as at least one skunk, so I understand why. Hopefully, I get it tomorrow.

There are that many running loose?

No, but I don't always like dogs, nor do I like the owners who let their dogs wreak havoc in the neighborhood, sometimes killing cats and other animals. Especially pit bulls.

I especially don't like how loud some dogs can be. I have very sensitive hearing, and freak out when one barks his head off.

My true family is chosen. My blood family is toxic. No more will I hold hope that my blood family will ever take me seriously.

I spent some time thinking my family would see their mistakes and welcome me back. Now l realized they are trapped in their emeshment patterns, and l was assigned the villain idiot role, which l have disengaged from. My mom is actually starting to treat me like a human being. My brother and his wife are out of the picture now.

"My true family is chosen" is a line that goes incredibly hard. Stick with that and rock on.

Once again I decided to give up on happiness. When my own stepfather uses his schizophrenia as an excuse to bully me into acting right and boots me out of our hotel room for the day or longer, and even my mother or sister won't take my side or stand up to him in my own defense, there's not much point in even thinking about happy things because whatever happiness I do get won't last long enough to appreciate.

I think I'm just better off continuing to smoke until it kills me and I stop suffering.

Is there nothing you can do to get away from him? From everything you say, it sounds like he is the real source of your troubles. And it doesnt sound like he's going to change his ways.

It's either that or homelessness for him from what I gather, and he's already been homeless for a while and he nearly committed suicide from the stress. A really nasty situation.

I wonder if autistics have a stronger inclination towards designs and architecture.

Design would go along with pattern recognition but architecture might be too large scale for many of us though there are probably exceptions.

I will be blunt. I feel like I could use a few kind words this evening.

I think you're a pretty strong guy, and I hope you remember how far you've already come and what you've accomplished. You can go even further, whatever form that might take.

Sometimes you get down, but you keep picking yourself back up and carrying on. You have resilience and great strength within.

I feel like buying a mocha on the way home from work today. Craving chocolate and caffeine. Like a junkie craving his next fix.

Do you ever find mochas aren't as strong as a regular white americano?

A very bad combination for me. One I try to avoid. Love one of the other, but never both.

I'm up in the middle of the night with someone in a lot of pain. OTCs aren't touching it. Might have to deep dive in my boxes of herbs to make a potent infusion for sleep and pain. Poor dear.

Anyone else having a hard time finding the right words to say to someone who's depressed?

There's a standard Aussie line - "Toughen up, Princess!". Not always appropriate but surprisingly effective.

Wake up at 12:20 ish, about to pack up and leave the room. Get to car, stepdad accidentally locked keys inside last night, got them back, suddenly phone makes dingdong sound, Mom got paid (our other check). Another night at same NOICE hotel. I love spontaneous blessings.

But I really wish my stepdad would CHILL OUT FROM THE COFFEE
