: During my junior and senior years in high school, most of my teachers didn't assign me to group projects. I made big stinks in ninth and tenth grades about being the only one usually to do the research and execution of the projects.

About 7 times of 10...

Some people take a tiny, simple matter and blow it up with overcomplication.

Some people take a colossally complex matter and oversimplify it to the point of absurdity.

Why do they do this?

Because they want their conclusions based on what the feel/want the evidence to be to reinforce their emotional investment.

And 9 of 10 will insist they are in that 3 of 10 mentioned at the top, not 1 of the other 7.

: Some men and women don't want to watch the world burn. They just want to complain ceaselessly about fucking everything, even if or sometime especially if they have to make shit up, but screaming into a real or perceived void isn't going to fill the void inside, whatever its origin.

No, this is not something I just realized, not even close. It's just something I find the need to express this afternoon. Why? The usual. People being people.

: I like humans and enjoy your company, but dogs, man. I mean... they really tie this whole planet together.

: This pretty much sums it up, and it's what makes life so frickin' maddening and difficult, especially #AspieLife.

: This. This right here. It is important. 19 out of 20 people do not understand how important this is. I mean for serious.

: Forgive the typos.

This one's from the IG vault from a while back.

I noticed experiential frames of reference and their importance and their overlookedness when I was a kid. By the time I was in college, I recognize what stops people from recognizing and more so, doing anything about it. Yep, it's emotions.

I like emotions, and I have them. I just don't confuse or conflate them with reality.

: I made this a while back. Yes, this is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but it's also funny because it's true.

#AspieLife #communication #neurallyatypical #actuallyautistic #residentalien #theweirdkid

: This is another thing that happens. I've been told that things I lived through, directly witnessed, and have the documentary evidence presented did not happen to me or didn't happen the way they happened by people who weren't there or even weren't alive at the time. Why? Because whatever my experience was did not match their personal narrative. That's nuts.

: I used to puzzle over much of people's behaviors. Now I do not puzzle over them much at all. Yeah, they may surprise me, but they rarely puzzle me. It doesn't even puzzle me that so many #people act so surprised at the same, almost always serial, consistent behaviors by usually the same people.

#experience #neurallyatypical #actuallyautistic #residentalien #theweirdkid

: The mechanics of human behavior/psychology are really very simple. Efforts to manipulate only require a moderate amount of attention and energy. Two things manipulation requires are consistency and patience. Quite often, one only needs to put the bait out and then watch people go. After that, it’s usually only a matter of light guidance, and things tend to self-propagate. It’s even easier with groups.

: I rarely ask for help because this has been my experience almost exclusively over the decades. I found through direct experience and observation that people help when they want to and only when they want to, which means that when they don't want to they actively dislike being asked for help. If people help when they don't want to, then they hold grudges.
