How can I accept turning 30 and still being single?

He’s not wrong. And no one “downplayed your emotions.”

Your display here could be considered a tantrum. And Alex has already read your moaning & respectfully responded.

The issue here is that people are trying to help you way more than you’re willing to help yourself and you’re complaining about it as if it’s a violation of forum rules to post sound advice or suggest someone make an effort to work on themselves. It’s quite ridiculous how you could possibly interpret positive encouragement as being negativity from your so-called “detractors,” really.

Because (in case you haven't noticed) you are attacking people trying to give you sound advice (sound familiar)

I didn't ask Alex for help. I didn't even ask him to respond. I'd rather not hear from him.

cyberdad is not helping me. How is telling me I am throwing a tantrum help? That's just putting words in my mouth and he's stirring up past s**t. I also didn't attack Grand Inquisitor, Zeromancerlove, kraftiekortie, Sweetleaf or blooiejagwa. Those posters I have respect for. I just spoke against those who claim they hate my threads but still post in them.



You aren't. You are just jamming words in my mouth.

This is just history repeating itself Marknis

And why do you care? Leave the thread if you don't like it. Is it really so hard to do that?

Actually I hope you can find a way to feel better about yourself Marknis. Posting here on WP has clearly not been working for you

Why would Alex, or anyone, require your permission to reply to a thread? And why would you rather not hear from him? I suspect it’s because he’s calling you out for creating your own problem on the forum and attempting to blame others for it. And also because he (and others) posts advice suggesting that perhaps you start doing some work to change yourself in order to become & get what you want and you’d rather get sympathy that vlidates & reinforces your routine complaining so you can justify changing nothing and carrying on complaining until the next person agrees with your distorted thinking.

Maybe there’s value in the messages that set you off. Maybe you need to take a moment and ask yourself why someone would describe your forum behaviour as being a tantrum and realize that it’s because you’re conducting yourself like a 3 year old who didn’t get his way with something.

Alex is well known as a heavy hitter in autism advocacy. When you consider what he had to deal with growing up, all the risks and crap he took just by starting this website, and all that he’s gone on to accomplish, I’d try to learn as much from him as possible.
