This is the thread to come to when you need to get stuff off your chest but don’t want to bother or upset anyone. Please be conscious of your comrades and use spoilers and CWs as necessary

Also, sometimes when folks vent they just want to get it out, they don’t want advice or feedback or anything, so if that’s you please identify as such and we’ll enforce

If you don’t want people to respond to your venting, start the post with the ❌ emoji

If you really do want or even need responses ✅

If you don’t care, don’t worry about it :meow-fiesta:

If you have any feedback for future venting posts please let me know and I’ll discuss it with the other mods!

    I realize there probably aren't any doctors on this site, so I'm just going to informally list some of my lifelong symptoms. I think I may be autistic. I'm also a new poster here, so 👋

    • I've been prone to anger outbursts my entire life

    • A lot of the friendships I've made throughout my life have only been possible because they involved some sort of obsession by me (music, media, sports, etc).

    • It feels like I'm acting and putting on a show each time I try to show emotion towards someone (I've mastered this for the most part)

    • I become extremely anxious when put into unfamiliar social situations

    • i go through periods of obsessing over specific things and usually don't like things to change (unless that change dramatically improves my life)

    So yeah idk how my parents looked past all of this. It would explain a lot that my parents just attributed to anxiety. Can any of y'all relate?
