I guess ultimately I'm happy to no longer be a NEET, but sometimes I wish I could quit my crappy wagie job and go back to being unemployed. I was even more broke than I am now and depressed, but I'm still depressed and poor now but also angry and stressed on top of it. The only reason I'm sticking it out is because I badly need work experience if I want a chance to move onto something better. I want to make it to at least six months before I quit.

I got it recently, was on the experience period and they said I wasn't a good fit.
I don't think it was that at all.

No one ever complained about me but this coworker, she'd complain about me constantly and mock and shit talk me to other people. One day I had a nervous breakdown after she decided to throw a tantrum because I wasn't doing my job the way she wanted, mind you, a job I was told to do by the leaders because this woman didn't want to do it, it was her job but as soon as she complained about it to the leaders they'd send someone else to do it or even do it themselves. I had to stop everything I was doing to help her.

For a bit of context, I used to work in the cold kitchen of an airport, they had a problem with the expiry date tags they put on the food and I had to take them out, I was told to do it by the leaders in the middle of my actual task which is time sensitive, I had 45 minutes to finish it but I had to stop everything because my coworker needed to use some of that food in the cold chamber and didn't want to replace the tags herself, so for some reason, amidst a sea of other women they could ask they decided to ask me, someone who was clearly busy, to do it. The coworker came in the cold chamber saying some nonsense and trying to teach me how to do the job she didn't want to do and I was fed up with her behavior, she was talking and talking and it was grating and taking out my focus and I just wanted to finish it to go back to my actual task. She acts like that with me since I first started, saying she is going to teach me how to do something but then she talks and talks, says if I have any questions I should just ask, but when I ask she says she won't repeat herself, then she complains I don't ask anything. It got to my ear she started telling my other coworkers I was lazy and stupid, I said nothing to her or anyone really but truth be told that made me feel like shit, but bottling it up only goes so far and I couldn't take it anymore, so I told her to shut the fuck up. It was literally that, "let me do my job and you do yours" then she starts talking some nonsense as if she is my boss and I told her "shut the fuck up you fucking asshole". The leaders didn't care to solve anything, they said it is how she is, that she's got a strong temper like it's normal and I gotta deal with it, then assurePost too long.

How do you find something you love and want to keep doing as a job forever? I know it's difficult, but I thought growing up I thought would love working as the thing I graduated as and it turns out that I don't really like it, not as a forever job at least. I've been reclutant to work in that field except for random odd jobs here and there because of this reason. I'm not passionate anymore, so it's hard to stay employed sometimes. Any tips or encouragement?

NTA but if you lost your job recently it's much easier to find another one. Start applying now and aim to send out 5+ applications a day, always apply through the company's site, not Indeed or other similar sites. Register with all the employment agencies you can find.

The horrible memories of my mom and dad telling me to kill myself came flooding back. I hate how I was the only person that was forced to "fix" myself and they stayed and only get worse. My dad would drive me home from school so he could see if I really had the guts to do it, and my mom told me she was waiting for the moment where I would finally do it. They both forgot about it, and I did to at some point. But I hate this, I want to forget everything. So many doctors and therapists tell me that feeling deeply is a gift that helps me in many situations but I just feel such excruciating pain towards myself and hatred towards everyone around me. I'm considering being put on the strongest mood stabilizers because it seems like the closest thing to a lobotomy. I can't even fucking kill myself now because my body has turned into a vessel for people to live through, I've lived 10 years of my life because my parents wanted me to do what they wanted, and now that i'm trying to pick up the broken pieces of my dreams I feel so fucking behind as everyone else around me is beginning to thrive.

That's just a shill on the same level as "live laugh love" or "depressed, just smile" thanks to pop psychology about "empaths". It's just to invalidate you. On the other side of the spectrum, narcs hear it and then get convinced they're such deep empaths.

I actually think autistic voice is more of a thing than autistic face. I wouldnt notice for myself but listening to the audio clips of other autists, they all have similar weird intonations . Kinda like oldschool google text to speech apparatus, words sound separated from each other.

No. 2498485

>>2498475
I agree but it's still not always a thing. Like nonas here say a lot of them have high pitched, soft, girly/young voices that makes people read them as younger and/or immature. That soft-spokeness is something I see fairly often in females, and sometimes in males too.

The monotone voice is just one type of autist voice, and imo it's from those who have difficulty with sound who are basically "tone deaf". So if you don't have those auditory issues you don't get it.

I've also met a lot of loud autists, they're the opposite of monotone and are instead all over the place in volume and intonation. They instead exaggerate a lot and come off as passionate, a bit obnoxious or nearly aggressive.

The best tell is simply how they break social norms when speaking. Interrupting, not matching the tone/volume of the other speaker, the insistence of subject, talking about controversial topics without getting that it is controversial or sensitive.

No. 2498680

>>2497865
I mean yeah, it's not a 100% accurate analogy because most autists have some level of social skills, but CAN you really learn them though? I don't mean learning the theory, I mean learning to actually master them the way normies do. In my experience the autists that claim they learned social skills are either just retards who memorized a few friendly greetings and think that means "+1 social skill" when in reality they are oblivious to their own lack of skill and mistake normies treating them kindly out of pity as successful socializing, or they were not autistic to begin with but instead had some other kind of anxiety and got over it with exposure. Yes you can memorize social patterns but if you are actually autistic, you will always lack the effortless component in social perception. For normies, it's subconscious, they don't have to learn it, and spergs are unable to learn it. Even if you study fucking conversation analysis at uni and learn how an interaction proceeds turn for turn, you cannot learn to replicate it as a born-with-no-social-skill-component loser. It is kind of mesmerizing watching normies do it, they just know intuitively how it works. You will never be THAT.

The dating apps are skewed in favour of women! They're just money making businesses and don't want anyone to actually partner up! Humans stay static and never age or go through changes so there's only ever the same pool of people to swim through and therefore it's a numbers game! I have to keep paying to increase my dating radius and see if there's more matches or see if any one of those bitches want to reply to my very curated message of spamming hi to any active female profile. It's very demoralising when one I'm not all that attracted to replies. Such a waste of a swipe and money and I still haven't got a date! Women have it too easy. And what's the deal with their profiles! It's very hard to tell anything about someone from a picture. I need words! I'm too autistic to read someone's face and personality from a picture. I didn't go to school for that. Which coincidently was the last time I was surrounded by my peers. Women just want to go for the top 10%!! I don't like any of my current matches but hey at least I'm not shallow and give them a chance!!

Look at these females, allowing their eggs to shrivel up with such insipid behavior. Working such nothing jobs, instead of immediately settling down and birthing a man's kids. Their ancestors fought hard to bring these women to where they are today, and this is how they repay them. Such way of acting is an aversion to the natural order, this is a sign of the fallen west. These women need to be corrected, which is why I am glad for the era of Trump. When he fucks up the economy he will destroy these jobs, forcing women to leave the workforce, returning our society back to an era where all men had a wife, and every woman was bound to a husband.

A lot of odd jobs here and there but mostly tutoring, mentoring kids, and professional massage work. You can set your rate and there's always going to be kids to raise and stressed out adults. But when you freelance you have no set income, and commute to your students/clients. I was paid in cash so that's also nice. I fell into these bt accident and never stopped because it's not like I could find anything else. I tried to be a singer for a resort or lounge or circus but it fell through, too competitive, too many talents. I always wish I could have run away with the circus.

Do not fret, language learning is not a memorization game but the acquisition of a skill. Just continue the habit of study and immersion over a long period of time and your brain will do what its meant to do.
sorry i have to motivate myself with these reminders, some days can feel really demoralising
