It feels kind of weird being aromantic and asexual. I don’t really feel like part of the LGBT+ community, since it focuses on different kinds of love. Feels like there’s no place for those who can’t feel any love. Since romance, love, sex, etc. are such a huge part of most people’s lives, it makes me feel completely alien, since such things are, well, alien to me. No wonder I can’t relate to most people, if I’m completely apart from something that’s such a huge part of their world.

Also brings to mind how no matter what, I just can’t fit in anywhere, there is nowhere I belong, somehow, some way, I am always “other” - even setting aside romantic inclination (or lack thereof). In fact, I think that’s the one word that best sums me up - “other.” And no, I don’t feel like I fit in or belong even here. I’m accepted enough, but still distinctly out of place.

I keep hearing that Covid vaccines will soon be available & how people believe that the vaccines should be available to everyone for free but I have serious concerns. I generally support vaccines but they are backed by science & have great track records. I can NOT trust vaccines that are being rushed out by politicians who do not believe in science & who have very close ties to the major drug companies. I'm afraid to express my concerns because I will get lumped in with the dreaded anti-vaxxers. People will assume & accuse me of believing that autism is caused by vaccines, that parents have the right to seriously endanger their children's health for religious & moral reasons, &/or that I am something like a psychopath who takes joy in mass deaths. None of those are remotely true but others will believe em. These days most everyone is super charged by LOTS of issues & if anybody expresses concern about em, the non-conformists are quickly considered part of the problem. LOTS of stuff about autism & Borderline Personality Disorder mentions black & white thinking but most NTs are extremely black & white thinkers. Your either part of the solution or part of the problem, you are one of them or you are against em. It seems there is no room for free thought or individuality these days :cry:

What is the point of having a twitter account with a padlock if people report me when they're not offended?

Either that or the glory hunters think they're entitled to political opinions.

I was gonna say Bald Eagles but I suspect they would of gone extinct & we would not have the Endangered Species Act. Maybe we would eat ham, burgers, or hotdogs instead of turkeys. Hotdogs & burgers are pretty American. Some people eat ham in addition to turkeys for Thanksgiving. My family would also have ham when we had the big family gatherings & we would also have both on Christmas.

.. Culture wise, even foreign NTs complains about the NTs I grew up with...
In a very similar manner an aspie complains about NTs. :P


Only difference is;
Foreign NTs, if they covet it, they likely have the power to have it, integrate it, make them 'feel more human', less alone, etc.
Also because those they covet onto happened to be more welcoming.

If an aspie covets it, they most likely remain to covet the whole idea of improving themselves by 'integrating' it, 'feeling more human' and 'less alone', etc.
Many do not believe of having all that, no matter hard they try. Also because those they covet onto are very likely hostile.

Now there's bird flu.

Yesterday I was going to post on Coronation Street Reddit about 'well it would be unrealistic if there was bird flu and covid'...

Today I find out it's the case.

I took my Union Jack down last night. I was holding on to a false hope that I would get my "groove" back. I have a groove. I'm constantly listening to music recorded from 64 to 69. I hung my German flag blanket in place of it. I guess that I could always sleep with my Union Jack if the mood strikes me.
