    Back around after some hiatus. Just lost a job a week ago and trying to get my focus back together but it's not proving easy.

    MBTI

    I'm an INTJ/INFJ I've tested multiple times over the years and have always pulled out a split. That's a Gemini for you. ^_^

    Excessive Attachments in lieu of Friendship?

    It's a rough place to be but maybe I can give you another idea to have in the back of your mind. You either need more money OR you need fewer expenses. It took me a few years of hard work but I dedicated everything to reducing my expenses by building a tiny house and paying off my car etc...

    Excessive Attachments in lieu of Friendship?

    It's strange to say because your words teem on the edge of cynical but they are actually well thought out and some of the most healthy (public) thoughts I've heard on this site in the year I've been here. It's a tight-rope to walk to acknowledge that most people don't care and yet be okay with...

    Excessive Attachments in lieu of Friendship?

    Seems like you know exactly what I'm saying. :) Isn't it weird though? I've had socially neutral people tell me how well I hide my autism and all yet they still can't explain why NT's seem to sniff me out and avoid friendships. Maybe it's because most people want friendships that are too...

    Excessive Attachments in lieu of Friendship?

    Hey, that is one of the reasons why I have been working to build my own business. I was tired of being ridiculed by 45 year old toddlers who had nothing better to do than relive the grade school pranks and insults. Had a boss who thought it was hilarious to bang on the bathroom door when...

    Delusions and Aspergers

    Yes, we have our delusions for sure. What I started doing was taking notes and recording things. I know it's more work, even just to keep a journal, but I've also been able to train my brain to remember things better. I communicate with a paper trail, keep a journal of events, write down all...

    Excessive Attachments in lieu of Friendship?

    I can relate rather well but I have been working my way out of that mentality. After about 10 years of dealing with those extreme thoughts I decided to address them and change. Part of having friends is understanding that it involves two people and if your feelings are so extreme, you...

    What Does it Take to Exhaust You?

    Sometimes I get that way and sometimes I can manage, but not always. I often try to channel that energy into something tedious for the mind, the senses and the hands. I like to jump on the computer or iPad and either draw, paint or draft in AutoCAD even if it's just a doodle of a character or...

    Jewish!

    I've been told by everyone I meet, especially the Jewish people I meet, that I am Jewish. I've been to a Messianic synagog and liked it way more than any Christian Church I've been to. It still confuses me when people use it as both a race and a religion. People say "Are you Jewish?" and I...

    Are Legos hard?

    "Are LEGOs hard?" Yes, yes they are so don't step on them. They will cut your foot! Take it from a guy who grew up on LEGOs, they aren't difficult to get into because the instructions are step-by-step. Solving a puzzle is nothing like following LEGO instructions. Here are the basic tips to...

    I guess this place has me pretty jaded. I used to enjoy going through and pitching in on forum posts but now I'm just like: nope, nope, nope

    How do you deal with overclocking?

    Interesting to see this thread come up on one of the few times I've checked this site recently. The past week or two I've been seeing this mental pattern ramp up fiercely in my life. If anyone has more tips on actually coping, controlling, counteracting or dealing with this "overclocking" I'd...

    Nitro Gotta love when those crazy rush jobs just line up and roll off! Takes serious skill and experience to get in and get done without piddling around too much. Kudos.
