    Are autistics mean?

    I'm the kindest jerk out there. No one is one without the other.

    Work and social awkwardness

    I have had and lost two more jobs since. A warehouse and delivery driver. Both were lost after suffering meltdowns at the worst times. I can keep most of it inside but when tears start to pour out through the artificial smile, questions are asked. I'm waiting on unemployment but cheques are...

    Video game anxiety

    I played new vegas till 4 came out last year. It's one of those games that can calm me down. Help refocus me. I just need to take out a raider camp and then I can breathe.

    Your methods for chilling out and relaxing? Is this the most relaxing song ever?

    I lose myself in games. Has to be the right one though. Elite Dangerous is very peaceful spaceship simulation that works really well to reset me after a day of anxiety. Viscera Cleanup Detail is another really peaceful game as long as you don't mind playing a janitor who cleans up alien corpses...

    Video game anxiety

    Wow, thanks for the link. I may have to roll back to win 7 or transfer my save game to a different box.

    Video game anxiety

    Yeah, it's one of my go to games when I have a bad day. I'll try to reinstall it and see.

    Video game anxiety

    The win 10 update has been fine otherwise. A decent operating system. Except that the interface kinda feels like it's designed for children or the elderly. I'm going to have to wait for Fallout 4 I guess.

    Video game anxiety

    I just upgraded to Windows 10 and now Fallout 3 crashes all the time. I am unreasonably upset by this.

    Work and social awkwardness

    I thought I had rocked the interview, it lasted two hours and we talked the entire time. He said he would call me back to let me know either way. No calls. I'm done with call centre work, I hate not having a job but, I quit. Unemployment appears to be in my future. More interviews, more...

    An obsession with Films & their characters

    I am so bad with this. The more complex the worlds and plot lines, the better. Lately I've been obsessed with Killjoys and Dark matter, the new science fiction shows from Space/Syfy. and Mr Robot. Go watch Mr. Robot. Breaking Bad was a good one and I consumed Better Call Saul just because it...

    Work and social awkwardness

    I'm on my last week doing call center work. Never again. Humanity distilled down and pushed into my ear. I didn't get the position I applied for earlier but I have also applied at a warehouse since. I'm hoping something physical and somewhat solitary will be more of what I need right now. My...

    Work and social awkwardness

    Thanks for the replies, it does make me feel better knowing that I'm not alone with these challenges. I'm applying for a junior application dev with the same company in the hopes that once I get a nice job working alone just me and a computer, I'll be... Better. I'm glad I found this forum, you...

    Looking a lot younger?

    I am told I look 10 years younger than I am. And I have a beard. I say healthy living but that's not entirely true.

    Work and social awkwardness

    The work I'm doing now is inbound call centre work for AAA. Every damn call today makes my heart pound in my chest and it's all I can do to keep my throat from constricting giving me away. I need this job but I'm losing it. My Coworkers have actually been quite supportive but I still feel like...

    High education; Menial jobs

    4 years of university to end up dispatching tow trucks. Sometimes, when I'm prepared, I can rock an interview, but they soon discover that I keep to myself and am very awkward. I got an amazing job with Electronic Arts once. Lasted three months. I loved the work, but I couldn't keep up with the...
