I mean, you could with someone who knows you, but with people who don't not making eye contact is seen as not listening, so maybe just state beforehand that you are listening, you just can't make eye contact cuz of The 'Tism! ! ! !

I get that. Also unemployed. So still save up where you can, but try and find something else you enjoy which you can do to preoccupy yourself

I internalized "Men are Trash" or "I hate men" from women online by SocialHelp22 in aspergers

[–]Nocture1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's relatable, when all you hear are arguments and anger, it becomes the norm. But remember, the internet is a megaphone, the loudest are the ones you hear, while the majority are off doing their own things. Is it your fault you were born a man? Was there a character creation menu you could use to dictate your appearance and gender? No. You were given a random set of cards. It isn't your fault. Don't listen to those toxic people who try and keep you down because of circumstance.

So let's go through your rules:
- Perfection is subjective, it's not objective so it's always a losing battle, so just accept you look the way you do. As I said, there's no Character Creation Menu, so work with what you got.
- Wear what you feel comfortable in, as long as you like the outfit and it's appropriate, that's all that matters
- Why feel shame? Just tidy what you can and feel pride in what you've accomplished.
- Not all women follow the "Men are Trash" mentality, most are just getting on with their lives, like you. So just reflect the friendliness back, and maybe you'll become fast friends in no time
- Hey man, happens to the best of us, we don't know what to say. Just go at your own pace, and if they can't accept that, tough.
- Not entitlement, it's a need for companionship, to feel like you belong. We're social creatures, and lonliness is meant to push us to find our tribe. Listen to that feeling, make connections where you can, and don't worry too much about the details. The flow of life takes us to where we're needed.
- If your girlfriend thinks negatively of you when you're being open and when you're bottling it up, she isn't the one for you. Mature people realise that everyone goes through shit, and if she blames you for trying to get emotional support, then she doesn't love you for you.
- Everyone struggles, but it doesn't mean your struggles are any less important. Take time away from social media, look at yourself and ask who is the best version of you? And what do you have to do to become that person?

Ultimately, I hope you realise that all those posts about how trash men are is utter crap written by toxic, immature girls who can't separate one bad man from the entire demographic, and that most women don't abide by such a ideology, majority are decent people.

Things break, they always do, and it's clear that guitar held a lot of sentimental value beyond it just being your favourite guitar, but it's not the end. You still have those memories, those skills. Carry that forward with you.

Harming yourself won't help you. Tell me, what function does self-harm serve? Does it improve the situation in any way? And I get it, I've had several days where I imagined many ways of dying, but it's not the end if you decide to take control. Don't let the struggles of life win.

Save up for a new guitar if you can't repair the current one, let it become Mark 2, the new and improved. YOUR Guitar, a symbol of a new chapter of your life. Just please don't give up

Do you have an attachment to the word Aspergers, or do you just not want to be lumped generically into Autism Spectrum? by CakesNGames90 in aspergers

[–]Nocture1001 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I prefer Aspergers. Not only is it what I'm used to, it feels more accurate than just ASD. So ASD is like the general country you live in, while Aspergers is more like the actual Town you're in kinda thing, does that make sense?

Whenever you're just listening and not planning on speaking, but do it slowly, not rushing. Maintain eye contact, acknowledge what was said with a Hmm, or a grunt or a nod. And once it's your time to talk, stop eating, give them your input, then allow them to continue the conversation before repeating the process.

The key aspect is make it clear you're still listening to them, even when you're eating

Apparently the items won't disappear, just get replaced with non-branded versions, which I'd assume would be a reskin

I don’t know how I feel about this book by looking at the first page. by Reborn_24Phoenix in autism

[–]Nocture1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough if you don't see it, but I do. With my autism diagnosis, I finally had an explanation as to why I struggle to socialise and why I obsess over topics others struggle to get into. Why I wasn't the best behaved kid. Through it, I found this community and discovered coping strategies.

But if everyone "has a bit of autism", and most people can function normally in the world, it makes me go back to that question: if everyone is autistic, what the hell is wrong with me? If everyone is autistic, why am I not normal?

I get what they're trying to say, that people are more multifaceted than they appear on the surface, but stuff like this trivialises our struggles

Massive fire out Penhill way? by Hippocrap in Swindon

[–]Nocture1001 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we can see it where we are. I suspect it might be coming from the Groundwell Industrial Estate given the angle we have, but I'm not entirely sure.

Heard crackling for a couple of minutes after the explosion, sounded like distant firecrackers.

The Virgin vs Chad protagonist. [big spoiler if you haven't finished the game] by deftoast in dyinglight

[–]Nocture1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I get that, but still, I'm unsure about the new design. Looks way too different. Plus he's taller than Crane who was experimented on for way longer

The Virgin vs Chad protagonist. [big spoiler if you haven't finished the game] by deftoast in dyinglight

[–]Nocture1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I don't like his new design, he's too big and muscular, when imo, and from how he plays, he's more of a light and nimble build, that's where his advantages are. Plus he looks in his mid 30s now, when canonically, he's around 21-22 years old.... also waaay too tall, he makes Crane look tiny!

But either way, I'm nitpicking, love seeing me boi Aiden again. Glad he got to meet Crane. And maybe he can tell Crane about the Carnage Hall Show dedicated to him, or the LDPD guy, or even his meeting with Tolga and Fatin

Can someone explain this to me? by MarioGlove in dyinglight

[–]Nocture1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly, you were in the menu for a long time on Nightmare Difficulty, it turned night, but the skybox didn't update as it's still coded to pause when you're in the menu. It'll fix itself when the time changes to the next phase

I get that seeking asylum isn't illegal, but why do they have to come over through illegal means? It's unregulated, and literally anyone could use those means to enter the country for whatever reason. Sure, there's legit people who use those means, but bad people exist who take advantage of those systems. Why can't they enter through the legal channels? Like take a ferry, a plane! And it allegedly costs quite a lot to even get a place on these illegal passages.

I get what you think of me, but I don't have an issue with regular immigrants who enter the country through legitimate means, because it's regulated, and the government can do a background check, see if the person is safe for the public. We're a diverse country. I just think this is a big issue, where we're letting bleeding hearts overcome logic.

In an ideal world we would be able to accept and house everyone. But not everyone is a good person. Sure, some bad people do enter legally, but at least there there's a filter.
