One time I was at a job fair and asked a booth if the donuts they had were free and they said “no they’re 5$ a box. Nah I’m playin, they’re free.”

I find it annoying because it’s like they think making someone feel stupid is fun.

This might sound like a stretch but, this sounds like one of those signs of shadiness I would tell other autistic people to watch out for. I don’t just mean shady in a “you can’t be yourself around them sense” I also mean shady in a “this guy has 5 billion warrants for their arrest” sense

Sometimes, when I do something for the first time or something i haven’t done in years I somehow picture it as being part of some kids show, like for example “(name of person) goes to the grocery store.”

I noticed that I tend to be optimistic where people are not and pessimistic when people are not. I kinda don’t like the fact that I have this trait because it kinda makes me seem naive, especially in the case of the former and I strongly believe that I am not naive at all.

According to Non-English Majors, English Majors are the kind of people to challenge their classmates to a duel if they strongly disagree with them on their interpretation of a text and speak fluently in Shakespearean English while dueling.

There have been times when I read about something unfortunate that happened to a person, or even a certain negative comment they received, and i thought “I hope this never happens to me” and then I realized that i don’t have anything to shield myself from it happening to me aside from hope. Do you understand how scary that is?

I wish I knew how not to be extremely scared because of this. It’s one of the scariest things I’ve ever experienced.

This is usually how I feel about people who are extremely different from me or look “douchey” to me.

I feel kinda guilty for being like this because I don’t consider myself a judgmental person

Celebrating one’s birthday on a different day than their actual birthday.

For example, celebrating it on September 17th when their actual birthday is on September 19th. That’s always felt unnatural to me and I prefer to celebrate my own birthday on the exact day I was born.

Also i don’t really like the idea of celebrating my birthday with someone I don’t know well. This is why I have told my parents not to tell anyone who works at a restaurant we plan to go to that I’m celebrating my birthday.

For example, I was on a date with someone and they played a song in their car about a boy wanting a doll. Later I told them how it reminded me of a bad memory I had of this one time I was a kid at the store with my dad. I told my dad that I wanted an action figure of this SWAT team member that was a foot tall and he flat out ghosted me.

That might seem small or ordinary in the grand scheme of things but It felt bigger when I got reminded of it.

I do. And i think this might be because i grew up with the internet where you can easily find information on people on Wikipedia. It kinda feels like expressing a dislike of me or that I’m not worthy of a certain kind of knowledge about them.

I actually have a memory of this when I was reading about someone on Wikipedia and for the personal life section there was almost no information and the paragraph started with something like “(This person) is very private about his personal life”. You can probably guess who I was reading about.

I also have a similar question. Do you hate it when a person finds it annoying that you’re private in ways that they aren’t?

I actually made a list of reasons why life in general is like a dark fantasy novel. Here’s the list

1. Imagine you want to date a somewhat specific type of person only to find out that they don’t want people to know about the kind of person they are and it’s likely because of shitty experiences they had with people when they opened up about it. The fact they had those shitty experiences is the reason here.

2. experiencing unfairness and bad things that are so consistent and major that they make you feel singled out.

3. Having so many bad experiences with people that a good experience with a person drives you to view them as an angel.

4. When you’re a kid, you can away with certain things but somehow you can’t hide from certain things. The same is true if you’re an adult but the things you can get away with and can’t hide from change.

5. Imagine you are so afraid of being a victim of crime that you decide to buy several guns and several of every kind of weapon one can think of and then Some people avoid you entirely because they think someone with your appearance and a lot of guns means nothing but trouble and not a shield against trouble.

6. Imagine you spend time recovering from a painful wound, either physical or emotional, and some other people like you recovered from these wounds faster than you did and are miles ahead of you and can find people who give a shit about them like it’s nothing and you are stuck with your wounds and trying to recover. Did any of these knuckleheads think to help you along the way? No. They didn’t. They’re selfish idiots. Empathy with nothing in return is a completely foreign concept to them.

7. Imagine you give someone your resume because you wanna work for them and you acted as professional as you could, but as soon as you leave, they read it and throw it away because your name made them picture an uncivilized gang member they want nothing to do with.

8. You could have a normal day one day and then get physically hurt just because someone overheard you use a word with a history bigger than any one person.

9. Imagine hearing about something unfortunate happening to someone, then hoping that it never happens to you, and then realizing that you have nothing that could shield you from it beyond mere hope.

Also, is there any reason why I shouldn’t do this? The reason I’ve noticed that this is hard sometimes is because I get worn out and my hits get slower when that happens. How do I continue to make them as fast as they were before?

I feel like it isn’t because it requires being familiar with technology that is confusing and I’m not very tech smart. It also feels like a job that I have to suck at writing to get, because the demands are different and there’s 1 demand that doesn’t exist in most writing oriented jobs which has to do with technology.

Even though I wasn’t familiar with that kind of technology, I applied to these jobs anyways because i thought they would look past my lack of such experience and hire me because of my writing experience but noooooo, they wooooon’t. These knuckleheads suck.

Also my dislike of this job might come from how I was in sales but i didn’t get paid a cent and I was accused of not being serious about my role although I was actually trying to get people to buy into what I was selling. That being said, is copywriting something I should hide from?

I’m not even trying to troll here. I’m just trying to vent my frustrations with getting a job relevant to my degree and I want to know if this specific job is worth pursuing in spite of those frustrations.

An apology tax is basically when for example, if you are bullied by someone, you can take it to court and request the court to legally require either them
Or their parents to pay you an apology tax on a regular basis until either you die or the person who bullied you dies.

If your bully was 25 or older at the time, they have to pay you this apology tax.

If they were younger than 25, then their parents have to pay you the apology tax until your bully turns 25.

In case you’re wondering how much this tax would be, I pictured it being the equivalent of how much a minimum wage job would pay someone who has it.

I think this system would make a lot of people think twice about bullying someone. Would you live in a country that has this kind of tax?

This is an example of what I mean.

For example, let’s say you answer a job interview question and use your answer to shift into how other people applying to this same job aren’t worth hiring because they’re heartless and cruel compared to you and have had everything handed to them like it was nothing, compared to you. I actually kinda feel like this might make you more hireable because they might see someone who is straightforward, determined, and cutthroat which is something they might like in a coworker.

The second part of what I’m getting at is very real. Think about how many NT people have it way easier than you in terms of getting jobs and are likely dumber than rocks in spite of that. The world might be a better place if companies refused to hire the kind of people who are quick to bully an autistic person.

I don’t understand why some autistic people are “anti-pity”. Are they seriously telling me and anyone else who wants to know that they will refuse help out of “pity”?

I know how grim and unfair this world is. I’d pretty much accept help no matter the reason because i don’t think “helping an autistic person” is something many people want to do. For example, if someone “pity-hired” me, I’d really like it because they’re basically being selfless in a way that no one else wants to be for some reason.

For example, I pictured myself owning a small pedestal that I could stand on with a label on it that says “pedestal for reading excerpts dramatically and making grand statements”

I think it’s very anti-human nature to do something that you don’t personally support for reasons that have nothing to do with emotions, like survival. It may be logical to do it but it might make one feel a lot less human than they actually are.

I have a few and they’re pretty similar. This might also be because I was a kid in the 2000s and saw the unfairness in being sheltered from adult things I wanted to get into. I think if I was an adult or teenager at the time i wouldn’t have experienced that at all.

1. For example, a while ago I read that another autistic person lived near a crackhouse that got raided by a swat team. The fact that I’ve never lived near such a place somehow made me feel like I’m easy to make fun of

2. Anyone who witnessed a person getting shot or stabbed as a kid. Again, that somehow makes me feel “easy to make fun of” and like my childhood was uninteresting.

3. This is more general than number 2 but, anyone who witnessed 90 percent of the kind of content in GTA games irl.

4. Anyone who got chased by a wild animal as a kid. I read about someone who experienced this as a kid and it made me feel like my childhood was uneventful in comparison.

5. Anyone who actually saw a person die in front of them. Bonus points if they saw this when they were a kid.

For example, and this might sound silly, but I’m currently looking for a job as a writer or editor (of text, not vids) and I applied to jobs as a copywriter because I thought they would let the fact that i didn’t have prior experience as a copywriter or an extremely relevant “portfolio” (that word even sounds disgustingly NT to me) slide because I have a writing intensive degree. I realized that wasn’t the case so I recently decided to narrow my focus to writing oriented jobs that don’t have such a specialized requirement where a degree is good enough.

I later found out that 1 reason why the specialized portfolio requirement exists is because Those jobs require keywords that drive people to visit websites and buy products so it sounds like a very “results-driven” environment which might sound scary or silly to you, whoever may be reading this.

I feel like half the new things I learn I find surprising. For example, earlier today I found out that many inmates are unable to read.
