“Day and night the telescreens bruised your ears with statistics proving that people today had more food, more clothes, better houses, better recreations—that they lived longer, worked shorter hours, were bigger, healthier, stronger, happier, more intelligent, better educated, than the people of fifty years ago.”

It went from me wondering why I could never seem to be or stay social. I consider myself funny and people tell me that, so why do I struggle around people then? Why can’t I make really social connection that aren’t just surface level. And why can’t I seem to change the way I live? I seem to do be unable to work on things I need to do because I have to stick to this rigid schedule.

Then nothing happened for a couple months, I just figured that I was anti social and moved on, but not really.

Then I was walking back to my car from work, and I was thinking about all this stuff, and wondering why I never like going places, and why I can’t stand parties, and why when I come back from work I hide away from my family. And why can’t i make eye contact??? I just kinda went, “Ha ha I wonder if I have autism lol”

One month later, I read a little about autism, and it really just fell into place. Oh I can’t make eye contact because autism, I struggle with social situations because of autism, I can’t say goodbye properly because of autism, YOU MEAN WHEN I THOUGH THAT I WAS JUST BECOMING MORE SOCIAL, WHEN I WAS ACTIVELY FREAKING WATCHING OTHER PEOPLE, CONSCIOUSLY WATCHING MY BODY POSTURE, CONSCIOUSLY LISTENING TO HOW OTHER PEOPLE TALK, (and on and on) THAT THERE WAS A FREAKING WORD FOR THAT??? I WAS MASKING???

Anyways haven’t been tested yet but honestly it’s so I can’t be as doubtful of myself. I swear I’ll struggle through a social situation and come home and go “hmmmm I’m not doing anything autistic rn that must mean I don’t have autism and am just faking it”. He says while sitting in a room by himself, stimming by spinning a phone in his hand, following his usual schedule, with low light.

Anyways sorry for the long post, but I guess that’s expected.

TL:DR

I joked about me having autism and turns out I do.

Why is it studio c lol

I feel like I’ve seen your username before. It’s probably just because it’s distinctive, though.

OMG Morgot Robbie I loved you in Wreck it Ralph 2!

No way

Las Vegas Loop sounds like a Mario Kart track

Carnet is what I replaced it with, self hosted or it can be entirely local on device. But it isn’t perfect to say the least.

I’ve always wanted to get into the Gorillaz, but never found any of their music that I like, do you have a recommendation?

Honestly I think the community is perfect the way it is. People here are so friendly and nice. You mods put in so much work and you especially practically make all thee posts and comments. I think no change is needed.

Here’s hoping

It needs to be three times bigger than this!

Honestly wish I could do that. I’ve gotten so used to masking my inability to do small talk that I basically just say yes to everything. It’s super annoying and something I want to work on, but I dont really know how.

What do you mean dust off? Are you able to go any amount of time without printing??? If I go even for a few minutes without printing it feels like I’m wasting time

I was going to make the same Joke lol

I took my time, I really couldn’t decide on a background, then I really couldn’t get it to look the way I wanted, then I couldn’t get the sparkles to look good. But I basically just gave up but didn’t want to leave you hanging so here is the best I could come up with, sorry that it’s not really what I originally promised. You could probably print these out and tape/glue them together, or print them with a printer that supports printing on both sides, or you could print them on card stock if you’re really feeling creative.

What is tetanus

I use infinity when it works and displays images and connect when it doesn’t.

I had no idea “hippy dippy” was a real phrase, I thought the lego movie just made that up

Are you eating humans???
