Can be a lot of things. Not conclusive on its own.

But in my case it was one of the major points in an autism diagnosis at age 35.

This could possibly be everything. There are 101 things you can check additionally:

• are you especially sensitive or insensitive to touch or pain?
• do you hate certain frequencies of sound?
• does bright light bother you?
• do you have to look away when concentrating on something?
• do you focus for long periods on things you enjoy?
• does it bother you if someone distracts you from what you are doing? Especially when its something you enjoy.
• do you have issues with certain textures of clothing?
• were you especially clumsy as a kid/are you now?

I could ask more stuff but you might guess that there are a lot of possible reasons for your situation. Maybe it would be a good idea to talk to a medical professional. I‘m not a doctor btw.

I can relate. Many books have changed my life in more or less strong ways. Simplify your life and 7 habits of highly effective people were two of them. I‘ll check it out. Have a good one.

Pretty cool suggestion! Thanks! :)

Its easier to hate someone than to show them compassion. Short sighted, lacking nuance and tact. Being able to think through cognitive dissonance and keep two opposing thoughts at once: there can be folks that have outlandish ideas about a topic. they still dont deserve your hate. there can be peeps that havent done anything wrong but are in bad situations, lack worthy role models or are just intellectually disadvantaged and easily exploited. Its definitely not a sign of great capacity to judge other people rash and harshly.

As another commenter already mentioned:

There is a technique I call circles of influence.

You have „close“ things you can directly influence like things in your home, „near“ things which you can indirectly influence like your friends, family and local politics. Then you have the weather which you cant influence in any significant way.

The best approach I‘ve seen myself, friends and even clients do was prioritizing close over near and forgetting about the weather.

In other words: go ahead rn and change something in a positive way which you can absolutely influence. You will feel less anxious and more in control. If you have done enough in your immediate vicinity, you will feel a lot better. Then start influencing friends and family to do the same. Dont let up. Just repeat yourself and dont bother about the weather.

I‘m doing the exact same rn with you, stranger. Have a good one.

This sounds like a therapist could absolutely change your life.

First, women being „out of your league“ is a pop culture idiocy. If she likes you, she does. Its not about looks or height or success, its about personality. To cultivate that you need to kearn to accept (not reject) yourself. I can totally see how a country with this strong a social divide would foster such beliefs in people.

Also, its important to find out what you like. She doesnt have to be „traditionally pretty“ or „stunning“ or „beautiful“. Its important that she (or he, just to address that as well) lights a spark in you. You mifht find her attractive while most others dont and thats no problem. You might just be amazed by how smart and whitty she is, even if she cant hold a proper job (or vice versa).

The biggest mistakes I made in life were pressuring myself to be someone and find someone particular in terms of status and looks. First I gave up the status idea, then I found out that „beautiful for me“ is something entirely different.

This is obviously just my opinion and a friendly suggestion. Do what you want with it but please be nice to yourself. Have a great day.

I found a troll! Nice.

I‘m saying the IP system is broken and more drm isnt the solution, shocker I know.

We need to break up giant companies (999 mil+) and we will break up ip trolls as well.

Wikipedia isnt perfect but it beats some rando stating their opinions as facts. One of the lemmy devs has recently built a federated wiki based on AP. Be the change you want to see and start populating it. :)

Because using „secret knowledge“ by writing one article or in a chatroom isnt really helping if the source can just be shut down.

Everyting to safeguard the broken IP system.

No shit sherlock. News break: sending the equivalent of one little merger in the US to countries who cant provide their people with food would make us all live better.

That sounds pretty bad. From what I read, they are few peeps that focus on phones which is not large field by people and incredibly vast by topics so I suppose they are probably perpetually burned out, leading to bad decisions, bad communication, bad press, less help, more burnout… vicious cycle par excellence.

Yes, you‘re too pessimistic imo but the core critique seems valid to me.

We need everyone to bombard everyone they know with one message:

„Billionaires (companies and individuals) need to be disowned and the money used to feed those who dont have food and shelter those who dont have shelter“.

We will still have trillions to spare but this is the highest priority right fucking now and we have a lot more power than we think, especially if we shut the fuck up infighting and instead start to prioritize.

Because rn, if you have shelter and food, you should be fighting to decapitate the 1% and shove that downward and let it trickle up.

Edit: before the obvious „but companies will move away!!!“ yes, they might, but to where? There is no country where people dont think this and the few psychopaths who would take advantage of this cant do shit against the quiet majority. Also, i hope they move away because if Starbucks (i.e.) is gone in a country, guess what, somebody else will take over and make money instead.

We have linux „capable“ smartphones such as fairphone, pinephone and such but its really slow and expensive development from what I read. Wanted to try but the price is still quite high for something that works just meh if at all. I would probably need to get my hands on a well configured pinephone to lose my bias.

My libreelec tv box bit the dust today (not permanently I hope). After twitch freezing the whole machine on midroll ads that now appear eevrywhere, now youtube doesnt play anymore either because it thinks I‘m on a android client… now I need to update and hope that this is not a permanent problem.

Neat, thanks for the info.

Can relate. It’s the same for me but I have to constantly remind myself of the fact which is why I cant relax, sadly.

Got it. Thanks for chiming in.

I can imagine it gets better but the grind is kind of not for me. The mining and farming grind in minecraft I understand and the grind in factorio as well. Maybe its heightened due to the saving cycle that seems to want you to keep going.

I recently bought stardew valley and its fun but the farming grind feels kinda forced, no? I feel like I need to pay attention to not loose myself in the game which defeats the purpose.

What is your experience there?

I think we‘re the same person! :D

Jokes aside, I wholeheartedly agree. 500 hrs in factorio but rw and dsp are awesome. Mc used to be. I like mineclone though.

Hit me up if you wanna play something together some time.
