Briar King Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 That explains it. And the worst part is, she's really nice, and I know she's not doing it on purpose, so that makes everything more awkward. Oh well. I can just grin and bear it. I've done it before. Make friends with everyone. Don't fall into cliqs, be the floater young grasshopper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Make friends with everyone. Don't fall into cliqs, be the floater young grasshopper. Yeah, I'm already noticing a tendency for people in my department to complain about each other behind one another's backs, and I decided I'm not going to do that. I'm here to do a job, not gossip and triangulate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'm trying so hard to adult and people aren't getting back to me and everything keeps tripping me up and I want to curl up under a bunch of blankets and cry. Anyone want to join me? I have cookies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you want to talk about it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlion Blight Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 That awkward moment when you want to be a ninja and you're not. Less awkward than when you don't want to be a ninja and you are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 What I want most in my life right now is conversation. Not the kind where you talk about the weather, unless you're talking about the potential applications of this weather system in predicting the end of the world. Conversation that talks about deep subjects, like what's going on inside my head. The kind of things that one only talks to with people who really, genuinely care about the topics. But I can't. I don't have anyone to talk to like that. This has been the situation for a while, but I've been a bit mopey for the past week-ish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Can we get rid of Mother's Day? Please? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 You're far from her zone of influence now, and seem to be functioning autonomously. I don't think that you have to fear her wrath all that much if you refuse to recognize her as the fantastic mother that she isn't. Of course, I'm not in your situation, so I might be wrong. It's not wrath I'd face so much as thinly veiled disappointment that could easily turn into a self-pitying blame fest. She wouldn't mention a hypothetical awful gift, but she'd definitely internalize it and use it as fuel for her "You Left Us to Live Your Own Life And We Are All Very Sad" lecture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathoth Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Is there any reason you cant hang up your phone on her mid lecture other than that you hang up the phone on her mid lecture? Otherwise I could make up a holiday that just for no apparent reason coincide with Mothers day. You can claim you were busy dancing with Crocodiles as it was "Dance with a Crocodile day" or something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Can we get rid of Mother's Day? Please? I'm not saying you should do this but.......I know of someone who got a note from customs saying "someone tried to send you multiple kilos of poop which we couldn't allow into the country". I think it was marketed as fertiliser or something. (I'm really really not saying you should do this.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delightful Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Crap. I'm having a last-minute homework-inspired emotional meltdown. I can't do this. Help. Lots of deep breaths. Break down everything you have to do into tiny little pieces and knock off one at a time. Organise by importance and urgency, and complete in that order. And accept that you're human. I don't know what this homework is worth, but sometimes it's better to just go to sleep and apologise to the teacher/ask for an extension. Regardless there gets to a point where you staying awake doesn't actually achieve anything because you're too tired to work. When you hit that point, stop. Till then, break it right down to basics and start crossing off every small thing that you've done, it'll make you feel accomplished. Just keep pushing, you can also reward yourself with snacks or something. for completing certain sections. Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And particularly the bolded bit - Worth going to sleep, and setting an alarm to get up early and get stuff done in the morning beforehand, if the extra hour or two would make the difference (assumes you aren't stopping after already reaching the early hours of the morning). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Elodin Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 I have a 1 in my science class and there are only 35 or so days left in the school year. Im a complete failure. What's more, this is what I get upset about. I shouldn't be getting upset. Add that to the list of reasons why I would be of more use if I was 30% more water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverblade5 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 So, I just found out that Heinrich Himmler may have been autistic. Reading accounts of his life, this actually makes sense. As an Aspie myself, I'm unsure how I feel about this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an Aspie myself, I'm unsure how I feel about this. Like Delightful said, this says nothing about you as a person. All it means is that, by pure happenstance, you share a trait with one of history's villains. I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't have something in common with some villain or another. This doesn't mean you're doomed, or that Himmler's autism made him the monster he was. All it means is that you share a trait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
