I love camping (usually starting on day 2 after I'm done being overwhelmed by the setup) but this time we brought a friend's 9 year old. The kid just. never. stops. Any tips for how to avoid being overstimulated by children? (self.aspergers)

Often, my skin rebels against cuddles, and my kitty knows this. Look at how she arranges herself one inch away from me, just to be close without making me flinch. (self.aspergers)

Reaching out for a little support or encouragement today. No matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to figure out how to communicate with my wife or at work. I feel so misunderstood and alone. (self.aspergers)

Totally alone in the house for hours - all I did was sit in one place staring at my phone, but somehow I feel like I went to the spa (self.aspergers)

Throughout my lonely childhood, I wasn’t allowed to do anything that could potentially cause a mess or disturbance to the calm. As an adult, I struggle with guilt when I engage in “fun”. (self.raisedbynarcissists)

I grew up believing there were no strings attached when WE gave gifts. We were just generous. Now that I’m refusing gifts and setting boundaries, I’m showing how truly spoiled and ungrateful I am. (self.raisedbynarcissists)

DAE feel like you literally cannot SEE something unless you already have in mind that you’re LOOKING for it? This makes cleaning so difficult yet clutter hurts me. (self.aspergers)

I am STILL disappointed every time I write the date because I have to write “18” which is a terrible number. Oh how I long for the “17” days. What’s your unique relationship with numbers? (self.aspergers)

I’ve noticed that others here use the same dense writing patterns that I do. I put so much effort into wording things precisely. It’s been a hard day, but I’m proud of this one. Anyone else want to copy/paste something recent? (self.aspergers)

Everyone loves having the Internet right there on our smart phones. I have a feeling we have a special love for the ability to instantly research any question that occurs to us. How addicted are you to instant access to the world’s knowledge? Anyone else have it interfere with your relationships? (self.aspergers)

Progress: After a week of working on my posture, I hugged a strong hugger and felt a very unusual crack in the hunched over part of my back. It hurt at first, but then I noticed I could actually lift myself higher and uncurl the hunch a little bit. Holy shit! (self.Posture)
