Almost sounds like a heroin addiction would be cheaper by this point. -

2017-07-18 at 9:54 PM UTCFun autism facts:
Due to the asymmetrical hypertrophy (I would very much like to know whether there are differences in cellular density, but there likely isn't information available) and hyperactivity of the right hemisphere of the amygdala, primarily involved in processing negative emotions, along with related factors, primarily the hyper-glutamatergia, which increases general neurological activity, and GABAergic deficit, causing insufficient inhibition and anxiety,
Negative emotions can actually be (There's always variance, particularly with aspergers.) greatly amplified. I genuinely did not realize until within the last few years, due to an increase in empathy, emotional fixation, and reflection/introspection on my past.
The differences in long-term memory, retention, fidelity, and detail, along with the OCD thought patterns, the fixation on thoughts, which can occur at a considerably faster rate and frequency, longer total extent, than normal, simply cements this, it positively modulates the storage of these events, and increases the effect, which is almost always detrimental, even traumatic.
This is of key importance for people with ASD, particularly highly anxious subtypes, to understand. PoC most strongly displays this behavior. After this realization and understanding something I worked toward ingraining, changing about myself, and still do to this day, was to consistently remind myself that my negative emotions were greatly amplified, my response to any negative social event in particular, and that I had to stop ruminating on it. When changing my view from a personal to an impersonal one, viewed from a higher vantage point, it became clear how petty these events truly were, that the other person did not ascribe nearly as much significance, and that afterward they would simply and rapidly move on with their day, not even devoting much thought to what had occurred.
Understanding and accepting how incredibly damaging your natural behavior, this process, is.
- A greater affinity for animals is commonly reported among aspies. There are various reasons why this could be, such as the social aspects that alter your response toward human beings, or feeling some similarities with animals, the lack of verbal communication required, how the relationships are simpler and more forthright.
It's also possible that we may have innate advantages. The bottom up hyper-systemizing cognitive style with far less regard for conventions leading to creating your own natural internal system for animals and their behavior, an understanding of them. There's also the sensory hyper-sensitivity and level of awareness and how it can help read them.
I've experienced the exact same thing throughout my life.
When people meet/see someone they feel positively towards, who is in proximity, a natural reaction is for their eyebrows to rise (body language). Yesterday or the day before I noticed that I automatically and involuntarily did this when I saw Ash and Bella for the first time that day. I can't recall ever having done this with a human. Kind of funny that the first time I displayed this standard human body language, naturally reserved only for our own species, was with cats. They are the animal I feel the highest affinity towards and enjoy the company of most. Nearly, other than perhaps natural scenery, the only thing that brings me closest to a positive response, even a slight smile (I am definitely not very expressive, at all.), when I'm outside. They always catch my attention and I try to make friends with them if they seem calm enough, socialized, or at least call out to them. Smiling, exchanging pleasantries, conversation, attempts at friendship.
Cats are my people.

with my tolerance, no fucking way... T-PAIN still is the cheapest route for me. I spend about 424$ a month on T-PAIN, for my chronic pain to function. About the same as a good pain management doctor, without all the bullshit and I definitely wouldn't be getting enough to last me the way my tolerance is at this point in time.
Just thought ya'll might wanna see my collection of old jars... It's like a hobby of sorts, except it effects every part of my life, to the point of crippling it sometimes... but meh... I'm no quitter. -
2017-07-18 at 10 PM UTCMalice, thank you for helping me better understand myself, my life, my problems and struggles... and also for doing the same in that regard with people I love. It means a lot to me. I'll always remember you as someone who shaped my life for the better. You've really helped a lot there, with people I love... and my god, that means a lot to me.
I could be here suffering in chronic pain, day to day... but I'm not. I at least have something that works for me, due to your recommendation. It sucks in a lot of ways, as any addiction can, being mainly financial, but, hey... I guess it could be worse.
I'll always consider you "friend", and glad to have known you. -
2017-07-18 at 10:07 PM UTCI've noticed that the sunglasses I bought to modify in order to limit my peripheral vision for reading make me much calmer. It's probably due to visual hypersensitivity, how intense the world is, the amount of data I take in, and being in a permanent state of high awareness (flight or fight), which causes my abnormal peripheral vision to have a higher level of fixation, as if something dangerous may come into view.
It is the other key hypersensitivity I have which causes a high level of discomfort and anxiety, along with auditory. Makes sense.
Heh, the combo of these glasses and earmuffs produces a pretty distinct look, somewhat reminiscent of a mad scientist. I swear I'm going to keep printouts of what the muffs and glasses are for in case anyone ever asks in school; a concise overview at top followed by a more extensive explanation on the bottom. Now I just need a white lab coat.
Looking in a mirror, it seems pretty ridiculous that this is what it takes to replicate a neurotypical experience. *shrugs* Doesn't really bother me, and there is the childish egotistical aspect of making me feel cool and unique. At least when properly honed neurologically abnormal aspie brain can have immense advantages.

I agree fully with your remark on PoC, having witnessed it first hand, irl. It's not always a bad thing, but until it's harnessed and directed positively, it can be very bad, but coming to terms, and utilizing it- for an expample, I think you're a great one for this, since you do seem to take your traits, be they good or bad and manipulate them as best you can for positive in you life, which I think is something definitely you should be proud of, Mal. I hope one day PoC, and even can come to be better with our negative traits.
You know how you called it with PoC and me? Well, here's where I can say I called it with you and animals. I'm glad you have friends now IRL, Malice. Animals, IME can be just as good, even better than humans. I really can empathize a lot with your comments about them. PoC is a lot like me when it comes to animals too. He really needs to go back to school and get a job working with them, I think that would definitely help make his, and our life together, a lot happier and more content.
Just a side note: He has a cat (I call him 'CockBlock' because well... lol, he always wants to sit in front of us whe we video chat- PoC, it's a term of endearment, not an insult to him ;) ). I usually prefer dogs, and don't really like cats all that much, but I do like his cats, in particular, this one. Every time he's upset or in a bad mood, or not feeling good, you can see this cat trying to console him. Even when I was there, and my anxiety was bad, his fat kitty-cat really did help me a great deal. I'm glad he has that, he really does need that unconditional love when he's feeling bad and so do I.
I sorta "adopted" a cat a while back... When PoC and I were video chatting for the first couple times, here came this cat, when I went to check, after hearing what sounded like a kitten meowing. He was malnourished and shit... I immediately got him food, water, and he jumped in my arms and sleeps with me sometimes... he definitely is very helpful, from that first meeting even, in helping me deal with my anxiety, and my need for physical contact, which helps me sleep a lot better when he's there or like when I visited PoC, I slept fucking wonderfully... better than being knocked out with all the tranquilizers in the world lol- wish I had that more often. -
2017-07-18 at 10:21 PM UTCIf I'm laying down naked and I am flaccid and grab the top of my pean and pull it up as far as I can, it creates this optical illusion that my dick is like a 2-D cutout or drawing, completely flat.

Didn't care.
Originally posted by hydromorphone I watched, literally, like Gilgamesh, my friend, my child, my soulmate rot in front of me for 3 days before we could bury him. I've held innocent lives in my arms as they passed away suddenly, and sometimes not so suddenly… As a child from the time I was 4 years old, we had a dog who was having seizures. I knew instinctively I should hold them and protect their head, so I'd wrap myself around them and lay on the ground in their seizures with them until they came out of it, so I could get my dad to get them valium (well, until I was a few years older and could get it for them myself that is). I've had the sorrow of going out to spend time with a beloved family member, haunted by the "Know" that death was coming, but not knowing who it was for, to find out I was right, and it was someone I loved… coming jut a few hours later to find their body still warm in the sun, but stiffening up, dead. I've come home to a dear friend ripped to pieces by coyotes… I've had to do mercy killings for those I've loved, I've had to pull that trigger, once slitting their throat.
I've witnessed a lot of awful things in my life. I've also witnessed a lot of beautiful things too…
I haven't been through war, but I sure have experienced something close to it as far as watching those around me I love die, having to kill them out of love and mercy, having to watch their carcass mock me… Probably why I do have PTSD, and a lot of fucked up shit in my head.
Malice, sorry about you misunderstanding. Most of the souls I've loved in this life have been animals of one variety or another… I've loved them more on the deepest levels than I have most human beings. I don't usually…. sync up with humanity, but with animals I do, with animals I communicate best, and can speak from heart to heart.
It was a pretty wonderful thing to laugh and spend a night on that full moon ("Silver horses, ran down moonbeams…" makes sense in the song 'The white room' a lot more than it used to after that trip lol) with Gil. It gave me comfort to know one day I'll find him again… and while he's far, we're all connected in life, which bridges the gap, making us a lot closer… making us still be able to give and receive love to one another… I feel him sometimes, as I do others I've loved. The other night I was hallucinating my dog who died on my birthday this year… I heard his bark… I smelled him fill the room…. I accept that I'm probably just crazy, but sometimes I really can feel a spirit of someone I love coming to comfort me when shit is bad…

Whatever it takes to make you feel comfortable, fuck anyone else and what they think. Those people aren't worth the scum on your boots, the ones who would mock, or ridicule someone for how they look or dress, or whatever, but I think you're smart enough to know that. Those kinds of people are why I hate humanity. Those superficial, ignorant, dumbfucks who's life goal is just to tear people down, and make others miserable, I think partially because they're miserable.
Think about this, Mal: You have always tried to raise people up, and even when you got depressed and went to tearing them down, or hurting others, you at least still did sprinkle in some advice, albeit hard to follow or take in, when being hurt and talked down to, like you do sometimes, you still always have tried to help others with the information you've come across in your own pursuit to help yourself. There's a lot to be said for that, and it shows a lot about your character.
I don't think a lot of people, even PoC or 1337, understand you completely, nor do I claim to understand you in any sense of the word "complete", but I think I get you better than most, and look past your annoying habit of talking down to people, or being persistent (I can be VERY persistent too... I just do it a lot more skillful than you do, I believe, and if it makes you feel any better, I've taken your advice for others and got them to follow suit by going around in a different way of getting them to see the picture of it, and been quite successful in doing that...) You're a good person, better than most see, even yourself sometimes, I think. I can look past a lot of flaws, and annoyances in people to see them at their depth. It unnerves some people, like §m£ÂgØL for instance, but I do have the skill of seeing past things in people, seeing right through all their socially constructed barricades, an/or "hard exterior shells" and breaking them open. I've always been good at that... I think animals have helped me learn to do this. They've been the overwhelming influence in my social skills and empathy. -

since I'm in a mushy mood right now, and reflecting, and appreciating all the love, from so many people I've got to know because of totse/zoklet, I want to show off this cool card 1337 sent me with cocaine in it, I got last Friday. Need to get the card PoC sent me before we got to being a couple too, where he sent me some meth.. that was a good card too lol.
I'm really blessed to have so many people in my life who are my friends, who love me, support me, and are there for me through the best and the worst of who I am. I appreciate all of you who are that to me. I love you guys, and you'll always be part of my "pack", be you near or far.
I just went through a really rough time these last few days, even weeks. It's still not over, and I know a lot of the people I love are struggling still, and so am I to a good degree... but it helps knowing someone has my back, and I've got theirs too.
I am luckier than most in that regard. Very happy to have that in my life, having people who actually give an actual fuck about me. -

No I think he's referring to the malice that has told me and countless others here that we are worthless pieces of shit, we'll never amount to anything, and that our death would be the best thing for this planet.
And yes, he meant it.
New malice is far nicer, I admit that.
