    Perhaps psychological records/background checks to determine if they were bullies? Those should also be a thing before someone becomes a cop.

    Honestly, it has been weird for me but, I never wanted a fidget toy. If anything, I was always content with fidgeting with a Pen, such as by constantly disassembling and reassembling over and over again.

    I still say that, to me, it doesn't matter that this color palette was from the 90s. It is still a great color scheme.






  • I feel that way everyday, as an Autistic Person. I will constantly be judged for not smiling enough, for speaking stoically all the time, for being shy, for not "Being Positive Enough", for not giving in to NT Standards of "Positive Vibes Only" and for always being shy and diffident when speaking.

    What I feel, I have called, exhaustion from not fitting in with Neurotypical standards, and standards of social conduct, from always talking confidently, giving a false smile no matter how much you feel the opposite of happy, and being forced to shake a hand no matter how much I despise nonconsensual physical contact (I can't count how many times my family members forced me to hug another just because "it is polite").

    I have also been bullied by kids growing up, which gave me a permanently tainted view of children. I don't see children as innocent, I see them as always being potential bullies. Perhaps, what I could be feeling is very low self esteem, where I internalized people's judging and nitpicking about every little thing I do.


  • I have been in your specific shoes for a bit now. That is, the realization that you are nobody's best friend. Yes you know you shouldn't be fretting about it, since you have other friends who care about you, but at the same time, there is that missing piece where, it hurts knowing that, in your circle of friends, none of them consider you a priority in terms of friendship, only one that is a secondary friend.

    It hurts when your friends have little time for you when they are too busy with their best friends, or with a romantic partner, to spend time with a secondary friend like me.
