They compare themselves to the character and realize how ugly 3D men are. It hurts because they feel rejected by men who have lied to them for years, even decades, about what women truly find attractive. Yet somehow, they choose to blame women who have been honest with them all along.

Neocities will not take your site down unless you are hosting illegal content or violating their TOS on manipulating the site's algorithm. The platform itself is deliberately free-speech friendly, but the user base is much less so. Still, the worst that would happen is teenage temper tantrums/feed callout posts.

I think it depends on what the autist struggles with, since not all autists have the same condition. I always questioned things naturally, and I never saw that as being pessimistic until I got older and my friends complained about it. They told me I was being too negative and logical and that they didn't like the "bad news" even if I was being correct. I found that confusing because to me those things were neutral facts, and I didn't see how questioning obviously dubious things was a bad thing.

Then one day I met another autist who was kinda like me and him questioning things I said got annoying so I finally got it then. Even though what I said was a true fact him essentially going "source???" was enough for me to reflect that me also interjecting "um actually" to my friends was a bit disruptive. But what I did like about that guy was that I truly felt no judgement from him asking where I heard about it, he also felt like he saw it all in a neutral way.

I've also met a very annoying pessimistic doompilled autist moid. I don't think he was truly born miserable, but that he went down that path and fully refuses to accept that he actually could change his life around if he just tried. He clearly didn’t have the same "neutral questioning" me and the other moid have, his just seemed like depression induced complaining

Tbf I actually think out of all those social expected/ shrugged off behaviors you don't really miss out on experimenting with substances or sex at an older age ( Drugs especially can have an adverse effect on a growing body, on the actually stunts you level- it made no sense to me as a growing autist to stunt myself even more so for some perceived patch of ""maturity""). Though not all substances are bad/ if taken in moderation but I also have triggers around certain behaviors under substance or even straight up addictions, so it's not like I'd be seeking out something to trigger myself with. Besides, I'm strong around Peer pressure usually but wouldn't want to hang out around people forcing me to drink or do drugs ( Typical/ Stereotypical teenage-young adult douchebag behavior) and tbh neither should any Nonna. We all don't need to make ourselves more vulnerable than we are.

I was skeptical but good natured and liked the idea of "balance" and harmony and still do gravitate towards that; I'm more "misanthropic" on accounts of abuse, but we also need to keep in mind about female expectations to be a nicey nice dullard against your better judgment and the grief you are given for it. As long as you can accept people and things aren't clear cut/ Irrational to a point and things aren't black and white ( difficult thing to grasp for many of us on the spectrum) and that you are content with yourself and a few, I shouldn't be an impediment for a good life. Tbh, even here if you notice feeling more negative/ unwell cutting on Imageboards and rage bait social media can help. Some Anons here are just assholes who like their misery to have company imo.

No. 2325570

And to be perfectly frank; I think a lot of people who have autism don't realize there not necessarily as "rational" as they like to think; they have their own believes shaped by their environment and culture that are at the end of it absolutely subjective, indulge in their own form of magical thinking, believes in the abstract etc. It can be grating to most seeing someone act so above it and oh so rational while extolling stuff that is just as intuition/ "feels" based as their own believes and imo most people have a gut reaction/ subconscious acknowledgement of that shit. It don't take a genius to recognize technical hypocrisy.

>I think a lot of people who have autism don't realize there not necessarily as "rational" as they like to think
True for all humans tbh. But I read your post thinking especially about a male autist troon I knew who was "a rational thinker" in most cases but who then often missed the mark - for example by thinking males can be women, hence the trooning.
He'd also advocate for things like incest if it's recreational and not making disabled babies, so especially gay incest should be normalized (he was straight af and did not have sisters thankfully).
Basically he'd often advocate for things we know will result in harm (because people are people) because in a perfect ideal world it wouldn't happen, and those irl sacrifices that would happen would be "worth it" and cause "less harm" than not doing it. Letting any moid including convicted rapists adopt a child COULD result in the orphan child having loving parent/s and growing up better, so vetting out if the potential parent is suitable to adopt is bad according to him and everyone should just get to adopt without "discrimination". He always argued his take was "the most logical" take, even when they clearly weren't.

Idk where you're based, but if it's anywhere near Baltimore, you could apply for a clinical trial at John Hopkins. It's advisable to be under the care of experts if you're looking to actually treat a mental illness (instead of getting high). Their website has the latest trials for which they need volunteers. https://hopkinspsychedelic.org/#research
There's no way to predict how you will react, and that's why it's best to be around people with loads of experience. I had a friend participate in a trial, and it changed her life. I've also had friends who did shrooms in non-medical environments. Most were okay and had a normal experience, and others had schizo breakdowns. One has never entirely recovered.
If you do decide to DIY it, find someone you know and trust to watch after you, ideally someone who has both done shrooms and trip-sat before. Please be careful, nona.

Nothing about this surprises me. My parents friend is a judge and also only handed out a 1 year sentence for rape despite having 2 daughters. Not punishing moids because of the tiniest "uwu he felt bad!"-reason is so normal here.

Also, judging by the names these were two locals, once again showing that you don't need to be a poor foreigner (prostitute) to become a victim, her being german helped her zero in court. There's also nothing we could do against this, being pro prison, pro stricter sentencing, anti prostitution, and so on, is immediately seen as backwards, inhumane or borderline right wing. Just adding this because I often already saw anons claiming that german women don't fight for foreign women in their country because the misogyny in Germany doesn't affect them, which just isn't true, they too get it from both refugees and local moids.

Post about your journals and journal inspirations here!

Some icebreakers:
- What made you start?
- What kind of notebook do you write in?
- Where do you get your journals?
- How often do you write and do you have a preference with what you write with (favorite pens)?
- Do you decorate your journals? If so, with what and how?
- Any favorite stores/companies to get all your journals and journaling goodies from?

Thank you for replying. I’ve been looking at social media and YouTube tags, I think at this point I’ve watched/seen everything. I’m currently a little obsessed. I normally get the weeks but the sales got me.
I’m going to do a combo of health tracking, gratitude and dream journaling in the weekly section and use the dailies for ephemera and general journaling, that’s where I’m at right now. My main goal is just to fill it up, so maybe I’m overthinking things… though it is fun to think and talk about.
Thanks nonnies, good luck with your journaling this year if you take up the pen again and I hope you all get/got your dream planners/journals this year!

If I'm visualising it as you described you could use it for an overall 'mood log' where you will be able see the entire year's moods all at one glance. You could draw little faces (beaming, smiling, neutral, a bit down, crying) and color code them too. I did something similar once and it ended up looking quite pretty with all the colours representing my overal mood for each day.

>>2324469
I've tried not to look at other people's journals too much as I get a kind of.. envy? because there's always look so nice but it's always nice to find inspiration. I'd never considered dream journaling for myself but my dreams are always really mundane and boring lol. Cute idea though! Do you try and interpret the dream too?

No. 2324903

I ignored my notebook for like more than a year and today I wrote more or less 15 pages in just a few hours. The only reason why I'll stop writing for a few days is because I want to print pictures to glue them on some pages. I started using this notebook since the beginning of 2022, reading the first entries makes me feel weird, almost nothing changed in my life except for a few horrible things.

Sadly my dreams are not very poetic kek, they’re just an amalgamation of my thoughts and entertainment I’ve been consuming. They’d make good prompts though.
I find it hard to be envious because I’m of the conceited opinion my pages are comparable if not better than what others put out but that’s because it’s my preference. If you haven’t already try falling in love with your process rather than the finished product. I also like to think of my notebooks as “horcrux like”(no murder needed) because I pour my soul into them and it’s hard to be down on an attempt to better understand myself when I think of it like that.

Yeah, until then, there had never been a terrorist attack like that. It was "common" for terrorists to kidnap a plane, land at the nearest airport, demand the airport refuel the plane in exchange for the hostages, then once that was done, they kicked the hostages off and flew the plane to their destination, which was normally Cuba.
So when the people on the plane were hijacked, they did what everyone at the time recommended, which as to sit quietly and to listen to the hijackers and they would be allowed to debark soon.
But then the terrorists crashed the plane in the towers, killing everyone on board and changing everything forever.

Truth actually grew up speaking Dutch with a New York accent and on top of that, she embellished details about Sojourner Truth’s life, like the number of children she had) and wrote that ST said that she could take beatings like a man
