Every time I go to a game (or other event at Wrigley), there are at least 5-6 152 buses sitting there. There’s also a long line of people cramming into one bus. I’m curious as to why they won’t fill multiple buses so that way people don’t have to waste time standing around (especially in the downpour like yesterday) and they can get more out quickly

I’m working on self love and acceptance, and am realizing I need to work on appreciating my skills and abilities. I’m having trouble figuring out how to like myself since I’m autistic and feel like everything is a flaw. What are some things, like superpowers, do you feel like you especially have since you’re autistic?

Any ideas for songs that we’re going to get? (Or that you’d like?) I’m certain there will be stubborn love, ho hey, and Ophelia. I am hoping for leader of the landslide, Angela, so long, automatic, and gale song

I moved to a new city and have been going to social meetups to make friends over the past few weeks. My goal is to come away with at least 1 new contact. I’ve been meeting lots of people and will have long conversations where we’re just yapping for over an hour. We decide to exchange contact information, and then I never hear from them again. I send a follow up text saying it was nice to meet them and so forth. Then at some point after I’ll try talking to them again, such as asking how their day has been, up to anything fun, and even inviting them to go do something again. And absolute radio silence. I don’t want to double text or be too pushy, it just makes me feel terrible to be ghosted, especially after we clicked so well. I know that they’re looking for friends as well as we are literally meeting at events to make friends. We would sit and talk for a long time without realizing how long it’s been, and some of them have even complimented me and said I was a great person to talk to. I feel so defeated as it’s been like this my whole life, and I feel like I’m trying to hard to make friends. I purposefully go out of my comfort zone to meet people and even will host events (which >75% of people decide not to show up to and ghost), but see everyone else in the groups come away with new friends. What can I do to fix this and actually have friends?

Want to preface this that I am 24F and autistic. I have had lots of therapists (who I dropped) try CBT with me and I always left every session feeling worse about myself. I have really liked DBT and anything aside from CBT, but have found that everyone in my area that takes my insurance is doing CBT, even when I tell them I'm not interested.

One thing I've been struggling a lot with this (and honestly most) summer is moving on from the past. I think that summer is when I had the most positive memories growing up, and I keep reliving those. I can't accept that that's gone and that I'm older now. I have always compared myself to other people, and I always feel bad that I'm not making the most out of it or having a typical summer. I remember that pretty much starting in high school, I would always compare myself to other people over the summer and be jealous about what I didn't have (camp experiences, vacations, little random things) and still feel this way. I have found that I'm now comparing myself to teenagers and feel stuck, like I wish I could go back and time and change things, but struggling with how that's not an option and I need to mentally move in. I struggle a lot with self esteem and wanting to be typical; I feel like I focus on all of my flaws and what I don't have, but always wanted. I met with a therapist lately who was asking a lot of questions that weren't relevant, despite coming in with a long list of things I want to talk about.

Are my issues more associated with being ND and is this something that I can actually work on in therapy? I hope it's not a normal part of growing old, because I hate this feeling (even though people will argue that I'm still young, which I agree with somewhat). I feel like I miss the good parts of life and being stuck in the past helps me ignore the dark realities of the present.

I’ll miss seeing him on TV, but I’m glad he was able to get to see his team win a WS

He produced Schmigadoon, which just won best musical at the Tony’s!

My boyfriend and I had tickets to see broken snow tonight (was going to be our last show before we moved out), and the subway was stuck for a long time due to a medical situation (which we hope everyone is ok!) We ended up getting to the theater 20 mins after the show started, but they said there’s no late seating. Got tickets for tomorrow (Saturday 5/30 at 3 pm), but it turns out our flight is the same time. So we have 2 tickets that we need to get rid of if anyone wants them

I have been hearing multiple mixed opinions (which some people are claiming to be facts) on whether the show will be filming season 6 in NYC at all. I was just at a location where filming occurred (won’t publicly state it in case it’s not out yet and don’t want the employee to get in trouble), but they said the show is returning soon to film. They don’t know when, but they have been told that the cast will be filming there in the near future

ETA: Joe Turner’s Come and Gone. This was the 45th Broadway show I’ve seen in less than 20 years and the first I left during. I feel bad because honestly I wasn’t invested in the plot, and my boyfriend and I had no clue what was happening.

But this was probably due to the terrible audience behavior. Despite all of the warnings, we spent the entire show watching people in their phones. At least 3 separate people in our aisle were not even checking a notification or anything, but using their phones fully and it could all be seen (despite their awful attempts at hiding it). A lady in front of us took insta pics during act ii and got snappy at an usher for telling her to turn the phone off. People brought crackers and were crinkling the wrapper; it got so bad that I asked to be moved, and they had plenty of seats. We had no clue what was happening in the show because of phones going off excessively and being surrounded by distractions that we decided to leave. I talked to some front house staff and they felt terrible about it. They said it has been happening so much at that show and they don’t know what more they can do. They said their previous shows have never had this issue, but it’s terrible now. I feel bad for wasting money on a show I have heard great reviews for, but it wasn’t an enjoyable experience for me. I am also extremely stressed and busy now, so maybe that was part of it, but I love seeing shows to get an escape from real world, which wasn’t the case here
