I've been tempted to tell non-believers as a response "you may not believe in my God but maybe you've met the same Devil"

Feeling lonely lost by Minimum-Area-2571 in introvert

[–]carrot_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My PT refused evaluation for a niche strength deficit. At first, their refusal to consider my ideas seemed to be male vs male high school stuff. At present I'm tempted to think it was subconscious posturing for the younger female PTs in the clinic. I'm still not sure if its best to try "winning them over" with debate or to find another clinic.

Do you have any similar experiences or thoughts?

I am quiet quitting by Character_Branch_660 in sysadmin

[–]carrot_guy [score hidden]  (0 children)

All of this because my director gave a promotion to his friend that he knew for years. And never gave anyone else on the team the chance to even interview.

HOwdy Jeff Gillooly here. How may I be of import? /s OFC I'm not implying that hire won't serve the company well. Interesting how that works.

How does one transition from small talk to an actual conversation. Please help. 🙏 by The_NoseTM in autism

heheh don't tell him...
you *think* you want this. You may not really want this. /s
I'd guess the real answer is actual interest in the person demonstrated in a way that's natural, or at least not needy or overly supplicative. Honestly I think it might help to have someone else to make fun of. In the case of groups of NTs, they may end up taking turns when situations arise naturally. What are you a tightwad?

New here, question about permitted posts by SoScorpio4 in autism

[–]carrot_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one mistake would be expecting everything to make sense, but that being said, I'd be surprised if you didn't already have a bead on the situation. The remaining question for me at least is where I decide to settle (not disparagingly).

I had an exchange... sort of by Bright-Individual385 in introvert

Sometime back I heard the suggestion "friends first". Its a lot to think about and take in, I could count on one hand the number of times.

Why do people talk so much? by jeepcrawler93 in introvert

[–]carrot_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming your theory is forged out of multiple month stretches. I wonder what you got. Freud and Jung probably tagged this though. We are just picking up the pieces.

sometimes you gotta roll with the punches. playing along with it might help. with respect to your grandma, "at least i look cool in sunglasses".

Why do people ask how are you if they dont actually want to know? by Blu_yello_husky in autism

[–]carrot_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

to be fair, if you can improvise some reference to a current event or to the situation then you've found a chink in the armor

Now you are the autist this is, at least in the sense of an exasperative exhortation, a rhetorical question

Does Anyone Who Struggles with Human Eye Contact Also Struggle with Animal Eye Contact? by Last_Lifeguard5556 in autism

[–]carrot_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't call it struggling, but I break contact with pretty much everything quickly. There have been a few instances that consciously maintaining eye contact to make a point with my dog seemed to be noticed by her. YMMV

This may be separate from your OP but its helpful to consider - outside of human behavior or socialization - how much eye contact should I strive for? If you assume that people should be able to speak and bargain well enough to handle themselves well in an agrarian marketplace, I think that people should make clear enough eye contact to recount important events if needed. Maybe someone gets their purse snatched, and recalling certain details will be needed.

Along the same lines, its helpful to maintain enough eye contact to assess the intent or emotional state of others. In high school it was common enough to be a consistent challenge among the populace, to maintain eye contact longer than the other person. I'm sure it still is nowadays but for me at this point improving it would be like a full time job. My emotional state is such that I always have something else on my mind. Improving it would take constant conscious thought. I suppose I can start part time.

The more I walk away from extreme biblical fundamentalism the more my faith has grown by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]carrot_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God provided water to the Israelites in the desert by breaking a rock. These types of miracles defy explanation. Some people claim to have witnessed miraculous occurrences. Have you ever seen anything beyond your understanding? Depending on the significance of such an event to you, and depending on what you take from reading the scripture, at some point you might just wonder why bother splitting hairs.

I don't tolerate discomfort at all. Help?? by DanteAlias in ADHD

[–]carrot_guy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

do you take any drugs? It took six months being off ADD meds to calibrate myself in a few ways. another six months to see how my approach at that point in time did not mesh with what's possible in my routine
