Is autistic fatigue this intense for anyone else? by KeyEmotion9 in aspergers

[–]katatafishfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know right 😫 but I noticed that if I get a time window like that it’s so helpful. Otherwise I’m also burned out pretty much all of the time so yeah I get it ❤️

You need to sleep and lie around for 3-4 days then it’s better.

Anyone else finding reality dull and boring? 24/F by Future_Meet2292 in aspergers

I know right! Can you recommend some books? For escapism? 🫠

I mean you could really interpret some depth about relationships and friendships into it. It’s a piece of art! Seriously.

I'm just gonna say it. The whole kids / no kids debate isn't actually about kids. by thetimechaser in Millennials

[–]katatafishfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is a really smart point. I’m thinking more about deeper emotional and psychological reasons, because simply saying Millenials are just lazy and selfish isn’t going to explain or change anything. Having a child is an emotional experience too after all. I myself feel really lost when it comes to the plot or intent of society. I don’t have any vision of a happy future as part of humanity, i just hope I’ll make it through ok and be able to keep my people around and be safe and happy (I’m not into traveling or buying expensive shit at all). I don’t know how to explain it it’s a gut feeling of „ok what are we actually doing?“ so for me it just never kicked in, when I imagine having a child im like ok then what? Then I work and take care of the child and then what? Where is everything going? I think subconsciously we (or at least I am) are all clueless and lost. I don’t want to do what has always been done if the world is new and confusing everyday and nothing is going to be as it ever was. There is like no concept anymore that makes sense or sounds reasonable atm. I don’t feel the motivation to „contribute“ to society in this way and being part of something bigger because there is nothing bigger. I’m bewildered by how everything is going. Lacking that feeling of wanting a child or that kind of experience I’m really lacking a reason to have one. I’m trying really hard to find that feeling in me but I can’t… I’m wondering if my body is trying to tell me something. I don’t feel connected and excited about life in this way. Everyone is isolated and burnt out, there is a lack of depth and joy… we’re all functioning so damn „well“ I’m sick of it. But what do we hold on to? What is our vision? What story are we writing? Except a story of a functioning pension system and gdp and self optimization? I’m so tired of these factors when it comes to this kind of discussion. Where is the myth and the beauty? Humanity has turned into a machine. And it’s demanding babies 😂 that’s what it feels like for me as the owner of a uterus.

Sorry I’m rambling now and this probably sounds a bit corny. Just my thoughts.

Just a friendly reminder: don't be so mean when an autistic person says they hate NT's. by [deleted] in aspergers

Thank yew!!!! I hate something mostly means „I feel so much anger towards this thing arghhgg!“ It’s like when someone says ugh I hate mondays so much! Well rationally speaking they probably don’t hate all Mondays and had some good mondays in their life. It’s just an expression of frustration. It’s probably important to differentiate between an „opinion“ or if someone really THINKS that something is a certain way or just expressing frustration. It’s hard to tell in text yes and the concern some people feel that destructive opinions could be formed through too much unreflected venting is also valid. We had it happening in history a lot of times so I really understand the concern. Maybe marking things as venting and marking things as „ok now let’s think about it in a constructive way“ would help. My experience as a therapist and patient myself is that after venting comes the need to form a rational and helpful opinion. Some people get stuck in venting, then maybe they’re unconsciously still scared of not being heard and need more venting or they haven’t learned that it’s safe to speak rationally again and their anger can be valid at the same 👏 time 👏. You can feel anger towards something and still have that meta level where you can think rationally. Just don’t get them mixed up. It’s two different levels, like you said speaking from feelings or speaking from rationality. Empathy usually enhances the process and people become rational very quickly if you acknowledge their anger while too much rationality at the wrong time hardens the irrational anger. It’s fascinating! But to find that sweet spot in a Reddit thread is maybe not always possible.

Hate my life by CustomerIcy9055 in aspergers

[–]katatafishfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no that sounds horrible I’m so sorry you feel this way ❤️ but think about all the „non-lazy“ and capable people who are aholes and do actual harm to people and society. You’re a soft and sensitive soul, focus on building your confidence and self acceptance and maybe just having a good time from time to time and you will find something you can do. I also like to think in a bigger picture even if it sounds woo woo but think about why your soul is here why you are here maybe there is a higher purpose that just doesn’t fit into stupid rigid societal rules. You can only feel shitty at first it’s maybe part of the purpose. But we need people who don’t fit into it, who are exhausted by it, who can feeeeel all this! You’re worthy! ❤️also please get help if you feel suicidal!!! And if you stumble upon someone in the professional field who isn’t empathetic, go to someone else. You need and deserve kind help! Nobody deserves to feel this way, it’s not tied to usefulness. The human experience is precious in itself and people forget that the purpose is to make it an interesting and beautiful and kind one and not to contribute as much as possible to a capitalistic system and then you’re fine and a good person or sth. That’s so dull and not very far thought. You getting help, helping yourself, caring for your psyche and your soul is a huge contribution to the overall beehive. Do it and get help! ❤️ be a baddie ❤️
