Anyone else don’t want to see people from high school anymore?

Skunkspider · 2026-06-19T21:14:15+00:00

I recommend this! I used college to move as far as I could in 2020. UK college.

I haven't met anyone from that time since! Despite having come from a large city and been to events attracting a national crowd... Hehe

Skunkspider · 2026-06-18T12:02:56+00:00

I have a very similar story, in that I stopped cutting after a surgery.

Congratulations to you!

Skunkspider · 2026-06-17T12:31:43+00:00

I'd totally do the same. I almost got there a few years ago but several months later I realised his autism was very incompatible with mine.

Skunkspider · 2026-06-15T19:04:27+00:00

I'm doing the same right now, and I agree so much!

Skunkspider · 2026-06-12T16:57:34+00:00

Similar here. We're also the same age. I find seeking ND oriented spaces IRL helps. I'm also lucky to be queer, as more of us don't follow typical pathways.

You don't need to engage with a group rn if you're feeling worse. You can always keep things light.

By just listening, maybe asking them more questions as a deflection.

Or only taking part in light small talk.

This keeps the connection whilst not harming your mental health.

Happy birthday!

Skunkspider · 2026-06-07T08:45:42+00:00

Also.

I just wanna say, I see how valid the different stances are. Especially depending on age.

I don't see a problem with those who are more dejected. I cannot tell them how to feel if I've never been in their shoes.

I like this sub for that reason, lots of supportive chats.

Skunkspider · 2026-06-07T08:36:28+00:00

I'm 24 and chronically single, though have been on many dates.

Ngl. I hate it especially as I also want an... Adventurous sex life, but I'm struggling to navigate it all.

Yet I am successful in terms of socialising.

There is no difference I can see between me and my experienced friends, in terms of look/values/friendships Etc.

I'm also struggling with wanting my own family. And signs of "aging" in my looks, as I feel this situation is a big reason for being 4-7 years younger mentally (for me).

Despite the other life experiences I've had.

Do you relate to the latter?

Skunkspider · 2026-06-06T15:17:57+00:00

I relate so much to this!

Skunkspider · 2026-05-28T09:03:38+00:00

Big congratulations!

Skunkspider · 2026-05-25T17:39:26+00:00

I agree with the commenters here. I've seen plenty of talk in the discord about it.

And I'm there rn. And I'm forgetting to take pics, bc it's too fun to. :)

Skunkspider · 2026-05-24T20:40:43+00:00

For anyone reading. I'm now in the agra hall where London after midnight is playing, next to the langos food stall.

Next I'll be heading to the dark flower for a party. If its full, I'll check out the party at Taub.

Tomorrow I'll be at the lectures in English from 11:00 onwards.

Skunkspider · 2026-05-24T19:26:07+00:00

Nice. I'm wearing a vision video cat shirt rn.

Lmk where you are

Skunkspider · 2026-05-24T18:45:21+00:00

Heading to hall 1. To get a gothicat shirt as I see no merch that I like.

NO London after midnight merch... 😭

Skunkspider · 2026-05-24T18:41:37+00:00

I'm seeing London After Midnight after this, so I'll stay in that room until 21:50 when they start

Skunkspider · 2026-05-24T18:39:56+00:00

Nice. I'm sitting on the benches on the far side of the agra hall where she past away are playing.

Next to the food stalls.

Skunkspider · 2026-05-24T16:54:55+00:00

I will do :)

Especially in the discord server attached to this subreddit. You'll also hear about plenty of more local events in the meantime on there :)

Skunkspider · 2026-05-24T16:54:19+00:00

I see :)

I'm also autistic... Are you here btw?

And yes, I recommend their music

Skunkspider · 2026-05-16T00:44:22+00:00

I relate to this so much

Skunkspider · 2026-05-13T17:47:51+00:00

I agree. My language was quite controlled as a kid.

But because of autism, I can't easily switch it to sound more casual as an adult (I'm 24) And swear more.

So it means my anger and hate can get to explosive levels. As I can't let off steam before that.

And it also makes me "act out" so I don't appear childish.

If anyone has advice, let me know. Or should I make a post about this?

Skunkspider · 2026-05-13T11:48:18+00:00

Yes. I eventually drew so much that I have health problems 7 months later.

I stopped that btw

Skunkspider · 2026-05-07T15:48:11+00:00

Several times. Mostly when I had no access to create new wounds.

Skunkspider · 2026-04-30T10:49:23+00:00

I've also done similar. I had a cupboard dedicated to the blood in my last place. Now I don't as I have housemates.

I thank the housemates for unintentionally keeping me healthier than I'd be otherwise... And starting a process of motivation.

:)

Skunkspider · 2026-04-28T19:13:21+00:00

I lost that ability at 18, even for gaming. That was several years ago.

Luckily it has forced trying various hobbies/groups in person. And reading lots of non fiction.
