My local supermarket has had a huge change-around. In fact it's been like 6 weeks or more and they're still changing it around drastically, like they can't make their minds up lol. Yesterday when I went in there one whole aisle was completely empty (nothing on the shelves), while the one next to it was taken out, leaving an aisle twice the size of a standard aisle. It feels all weird and I could see people getting stressed. It's not just Aspies who don't like supermarkets changing stuff around, most people who visit their local store regularly prefer things to be in the same places. I mean I don't mind little changes around, but what they're doing is a bit excessive.

A woman I know who works at a supermarket once said that changing the aisles around doesn't make customers buy more, it just increases the amount of customers asking staff where things are and having to keep leaving what they're doing to show them.

I'm hating my AuDHD so much right now.
What was supposed to be a fun activity with my social group turned into an organisational nightmare.
My life is a series of organisational nightmares.
Too many steps.
So much meltdown.
It's beyond depressing.
And the group was so accommodating.
It's totally my failure to realise what's going on, follow through with plans and communicate well which is to blame.
And this will never get better.

I just feel as a ground floor tenant I have no rights. Everyone else has rights but me. The upstairs neighbours have rights "because they have kids", "because it's day time", "because they need to do things". All I have to be expected to do is to just sit here and put up with it, go out and spend money on noise-cancelling items, rely on earplugs and headphones even though I have ear problems (a medical condition), and to just shut up and be sympathetic for them. Um, no. For once I'm being selfish, because it's my living space and I pay rent too and I want to live comfortably. A little bit of noise from neighbours can be ignored, but this excessive? No way. I have AS, ADHD and anxiety disorder, which means noise sensitivity, I've done everything I can; spoke politely to them before to make them aware of their noise, reported it to the landlords several times, and put myself on a waiting list to move somewhere more suitable for me. But nothing changes. I've been putting up with their s**t upstairs for 3 and a half years now. I've been using earplugs every day and NC headphones, but I'm sorry but it feels very restrictive to live like this every minute I'm at home. As a person with anxiety, my home is my safest place in the world and I severely NEED to be comfortable. Having a rowdy family living above like this is really doing damage to me, physically and mentally, yet nobody gives a s**t. Makes me hate them up there. Makes me want to break the brat's legs so that they can't run around any more. Yes, it's making me have these angry thoughts, even though lucky for them I am not psychopathic enough to act on them. But rage consumes me whenever I take my earplugs out for one second and hear their constant thumping and banging and scraping and rumbling and thundering about up there like we're living below elephants.

Something needs to be done. They should be given a house or a downstairs apartment, and/or I should be listened to more and given a bungalow or a top floor flat. My issues should be taken into account. But no, I'm not important. I'm not a priority. I'm not worth it. I've just got to shut up and live with it happily.

And anyone who says "just ignore it" or "they have kids, be more sympathetic" will get a punch in the face (not literally but you know what I mean).

That orange pathological lying clown. Only 3 and a bit more years to go. He has pushed India into the arms of China with his tariff stupidity. Good one, you dumb narcissistic ninny.

It's difficult to say this now that I have little ones in my family, but in general I don't really like babies under 1. They're noisy, selfish, miserable and disgusting. Newborns aren't even that cute, they all look the same, and you just know that if they aren't sleeping then they're going to be crying. And they're so greedy as well, they cry loudly for their milk and won't shut up until they get it. Then they still cry after they finished their milk because they want more even though they're full. So you give them more and then they're sick. And then there's that cringing moment where you have to burp them, and you anticipate the gross bodily function and then all the adults cheer and laugh like they've never seen a baby burp before.

Baby animals are much better, more cuter, quieter, and intelligent.

Really hate Nikola Tesla. If it weren't for that stupid prick with a girl's name we wouldn't be forced to drive those dangerous and expensive electric cars in the next few years.

But they have vey sharp baby teeth!

My rant of the day: Politicians. Virtually ALL of them. I despise their "snout in the trough mentality".

I keep feeling angry and anxious that I'm not going to be allowed to receive my pension until I'm in my 70s. I'm ready to give up work now. I feel sad that I won't ever be able to experience that "last day ever of work but still young enough to enjoy life" moment. I'd love to turn 66 and only have like a week or a month left of working then after that I can just enjoy my retirement and not have to be owned by a business company any more, nor having to worry about whether your job will be safe due to robots taking all our jobs.

I've started to fail and I can't reverse it.
I tried to avoid thinking about it, but once I did, the depression lasted for days.
My girlfriend talked about getting married a few days ago and accused me of hesitating because of money.
I don't know how to deal with it, no money, no job, no mature social and emotional expression.
I feel pain, but I don't know what to do except play mobile phone.
I want to have the illusion of success to make myself feel better.

Maybe you should just tell us more. Maybe that will help. I for one have not read all your posts and I cannot guess at the context of your situation.

^I graduated from university in July this year and failed in the postgraduate entrance examination.
The job market was saturated and I got a one-year community job at minimum wage.
I live with my parents, so I have almost no expenses.
I am preparing for the examination of state-owned enterprises and civil servants, although the hope is slim.
My girlfriend is cute and sometimes makes me worry about losing.
My status as a fresh graduate is about to disappear, and it will be more and more difficult to find a job.

Not expecting any user to help, so just complaining here

Yeah just talking about it can help.
Yes there's nothing I can do to help. I don't know what subject you studied at University. Probably most fail that entrance exam. I believe in Japan it's possible to re-attempt entrance exams every year, if you're familiar with Japanese culture you may know what a Ronin is. I don't know how that works in China.
Probably your best course of action is to just spend every waking moment preparing for exams and to sleep as little as possible. At least you're still young and can attempt that. There are probably support groups for young men in your situation.
Don't expect too much empathy from your girlfriend, accept her as she is and accept that she may sometimes be cruel. Do whatever you can to "stroke her ego" (I don't know if you understand that phrase but it has nothing to do with sex!).
Stay strong!

Thanks, sir.

Please let us know what happens!

No matter how many years I live in an isolated fashion, I can't kill the part of me that craves human validation. I mean, I don't care enough to be able to leave the house over it. But it's still a fascination. What would I have been if I had been someone else? Maybe someone I have never even met is missing out on a connection with me. Maybe I am missing out on a connection with them.

Maybe.

Why are the best houses so unnecessarily expensive? There's an abandoned bungalow thing in the middle of a small wooded area near where I live, it's like a hexagon sort of shape (or something-agon), but it costs a million pounds to live there.
I mean, yes I know it's a bit different to most homes, but even so, does it really need to be a million pounds just because it's not a square? It should be dirt cheap. That would do me, just living surrounded by nature and no noisy neighbours.
