| One example of this was when I was starting to apply to colleges, and I had absolutely nothing to say about myself. So many applications ask you to describe some influential or interesting time in your life and I??????????????????What????????? My parents would mention that it's important I learn how... |

| Title I cannot fathom how others expect me to not only think I am interesting, but think that I am so interesting that I should blab on and on about myself to others. I do not think anything interesting has ever happened to me. I do not say interesting things. I do not do interesting things. I can't... |

| Many of us have met snitches and other apologists for authority. What do such people say when others upset authority? "You got in trouble!" "Don't cry when you face consequences for breaking the rules!" "I guess you shouldn't have made teacher/the police/your boss mad, dumba... |

| Apparently cis-female has to come off that welcome list (and put "mother" on the unwelcome list) Have you seen how these people talk about liberal women? They see them as irrational, anti-American, radical, ugly, fat, ungrateful, stupid, and naïve. I've seen conservatives suggest that lib... |

Grandpa believes that he should have absolute authority on his property. Grandpa is a business owner who thin... |

Have you ever met a Small Government person who ever objected to the Small Government killing anyone? You know, except when they cite Obama or Clinton killing people, but that's more to cl... |

| I'm really not sure what to call this, not sure if there's a term I'm not thinking of or not. I think it's easier to show with examples. Basically, there are times I talk to people, and it seems like they intentionally seek out people to look down on. I find it kind of off-putting and mean-spirited.... |

Indeed, many people have done horrible things just to fit in with their friends. But what if their friends, or the groups they associate with, happen to be predominan... |

| Before I even respond to the various things, I just kind of want to contradict myself extensively. I am a very conflicted person. I argue with myself more than anyone else. So here are some positives: - I am generally socially competent enough that I usually pass for NT - I can still identify with *... |

| I don't relate to those people. Even around groups of fellow AS people and queers and what have you, I do not feel like I belong. I have never felt like I belonged when I tried to be a part of any group of people. Even if they're welcoming of me, I just feel kind of numb. And there's also the fact ... |

| The issue is that I loathe interacting with others. I can enjoy it, sometimes , but it feels like walking on ice at all times. Under what kinds of conditions can you enjoy it, at least to some extent? If we're doing some task I feel confident participating in. You'd think this might extend to talki... |

| [*]I bottle up my anger more than most of the people I know. Never let it out. I have never once believed anyone has wanted me to be honest with them when I am angry with them. Everyone insists otherwise, and I feel lied to every single time. Why? Why would I believe any of you? I observe people. I... |

| [*]I have not been direct or emotionally honest since I was a child. I lie to others about how I am feeling. I pretend to be happier than I am. I play along in all social and family gatherings until I am allowed to be alone. This causes me to feel NOTHING towards everyone around me, which leads to ... |

| Society, my peers, and my family have all conditioned me to expect rejection for who I am. I am autistic and queer and trans and politically radical. Have you made a point of seeking out spaces where you could find people who shared as much of the above as possible? I don't relate to those people. ... |
