I know how you feel.
I don't talk about my real obsessions because I know no one's interested.
At least I like birds.
I have a quarian called Thowra and a budgie named Choc Chip.


A quarian. Wow.
And Choc Chip. That's an ingesting name. Is it a male or female? How did you come up with the name Choc Chip? That's a cool name. What colour is he/she?

He's called Choc Chip because he's white with brown spots - like choc chips.
He used to have a partner called Skittles, but she died.
Thowra will sit on my shoulder and he can wolf-whistle.
Choc Chip's a little bully, though - very vicious.
He's always bossing poor Thowra around.


Birds are good companions too.

I remember once, Pretty (one of our Pretties) got out of his cage and was flying around our loungeroom. I think I accidentally let him out of his cage.

I'll never forget it. In hindsight, I think my Mum was a Shaolin monk or a Jedi. He was flying past her head, above her. She stuck her hand up and caught him in mid flight - and didn't hurt him.

She was such a wonderful Mother. So powerful. Taught me to respect myself. Raised 2 children on her own. It's such a pity she's got dementia now. What a waste! :(

I think I always had self respect anyway. But regardless of how weird I was, she never made fun of me or tried to change me. She ALWAYS accepted me how I was.

Except when I used to stim in public. Then she'd ask me to stop. That's fair enough!

The more I'm on Wrong Planet and the more I talk about my stuff, the more I can see that I've been Autistic all my life.

I'm sort of getting to know myself better through discussing my life on here and starting to see a lot more things that happened in my life were attributable to Autism.

Self discovery. It's therapeutic!

That's nice.
My mother wasn't so accepting.
She always called me stupid because I couldn't talk/hear properly.
She also said I looked like a spastic when I stimmed.

Just recently, she hurt me a lot by making fun of my stutter.
I can't help that.

My dad was autistic.
He rarely spoke.
He's dead now.
He hung himself.

I finally finished making dinner...it took forever. Now my hands are reeling from being covered in food. Even after washing them they still feel dirty :eew: . But at least I'll get a delicious, healthy meal out of it.

I am terribly sorry, I suppose than when I was suicidal and was going to hang myself that that must have been very triggering. I apologize, that was not my intention.

That's ok.
(Well, it's not ok that you wanted to hang yourself!)
It was a few years ago now.
I still wonder why.

My mom is very concerned about other people's opinions of her...so I was constantly getting scolded for embarrassing her. "Don't let your hair hang over your face, people will think you're weird!" "Stop fidgeting" "Look at me" "That was such a cruel and vindictive thing to say" "You're offending my friends" "You're a b*tch" on, and on, and on.

I have poor social skills,
I can't keep friends,
I hurt everyone I love,
etc

I think about ending it sometimes BUT PEOPLE - PLEASE hear me.

The carnage you leave behind for your loved ones to have to suffer for years after. If you love them, don't PLEASE do'n do that to yourself!

Besides, as I've always said, You have NO IDEA where you're going. It may be a trillion times worse than here!

Yes, exactly. Apart from not wanting to leave my cat alone without a human, I wouldn't want to die only to end up in what could be an awful hell dimension. The worst would be if it were a never ending void of darkness. Or it could be a dimension made entirely of shrimp....or one where there aren't any shrimp at all!

I'm poison. I can't make friends and I certainly don't know how to keep them
But to be fair, I've never really needed friends.

I've just always been self sufficient

I have had friends, that I've lost - let go of but it's not until years later that I've realised, they may have been good people to have in my life - and then, it's back into my special interests and I'm lost in my head again.
