no one's made a new thread yet so i did. reposting my secret from the last thread:
like most people, i'm mortified when people look through my stuff and find something embarrassing. even so, i snoop through people's shit, and i don't even feel bad about it. done it ever since i was little. i read diaries, go through phones, rummage through drawers and closets, just because. i don't know why i do this. i'm not looking for anything in particular, just looking.
nothing i find really phases me, since i know we've all done embarrassing stuff we'd like to keep secret. i've read mopey/cringy diary entries, discovered really embarrassing search history, found where people keep their sex toys/porn, all that jazz. it doesn't matter to me and unless it was something straight up illegal i wouldn't ever confront someone about my findings.
obviously i can't tell anyone because they'd automatically wonder if i've snooped through their stuff, and they'd probably be right. it doesn't matter who it is, if their stuff is accessible and i'm alone, i'll go through it.

I just feel like none of them really like me and they just pity me or want to make fun of me, or they dont really see me as me, they just see me as the person they want me to be. I feel like nobody sees or likes me as a person. I know it's not true but I can't stop thinking it, so I just distant myself again.

>>279489>>279527 You most certainly can get diagnosed with adult Autism, I was assessed and diagnosed when I was 20. It's not uncommon for women to receive late diagnoses because the way they present can be a lot more subtle compared to males. Any evidence of autistic behaviours from your childhood will be factored into your assessment if you decide to pursue one.
However, I agree with the other anon about addressing your past abuse and other issues as a priority especially if they are having a greater impact on your mental health.
Good luck anon!

It's important to remember that women are criminally under-diagnosed because we have a tendency to camouflage our symptoms and they manifest differently than male aspergers. While I'm against self-diagnosis generally, you might benefit from looking at Tania Marshall's blog here:

>>280327This reminds me of one of my most embarrassing stories lol.
I was late to class but had to pee first. I entered one of the stalls and did it without looking back until I started to notice there was pee leaking from the sides and also wetting my ass and pants. The lid was fucking
closed. I had to use toilet paper to try and clean it but my panks were soaked. I had to cover it up with my blouse and thank god it wasn't all that noticeable since my pants were navy blue. To this day I wonder why didn't I just went back home instead of listening to lectures for two hours feeling umconfortable and paranoid. That time I was friends with the two most popular girls in class so I was terrified of being made fun of. I might be the dumbest girl to have ever done that but remember to see if the lid is open, anons.

No. 283704
>>283229a big part of it is realizing you have a choice. no, being traumatized or being born with depression isn't a choice, but you can choose to work through it and move forward. a lot of unhappy people are resistant to seeking help. i was like that for a long time. the reason is simple, but figuring it out was a big eye-opener for me: misery is easy, and happiness is hard as hell. unhappiness is very familiar to depressed people, and in a way, comfortable. that's why so many people prefer to stay that way, whether they're consciously aware of it or not.
working on yourself and your issues takes work, and the work is hard and painful. but you said that you want to get better, and that is a big step. i won't give you a bunch of obvious advice like "exercise more! socialize! go out in nature!" because if you're really depressed you'll probably find it really hard to find the motivation to do those things, since they probably seem pointless. if this is the case, you really need to seek some kind of therapy.
i'm in group therapy right now, it's mostly cbt/dbt type stuff, with a bit of processing. i'd recommend starting there. it's true that group therapy isn't for everyone, but it's also true that many people who thought it wouldn't be for them actually get a lot of good out of it, like myself. i can't at the moment, but i do plan on seeing a one-on-one therapist some time in the near future to process some harder shit.
and yeah, you don't need to take medication if you really don't want to, but they help a lot of people. if you're hesitant to the idea, ask a lot of questions about them first and make your decision.
remember, you can choose to do nothing and stay unhappy and get worse and worse. you can also choose to do something about it and try to get better. it's going to be painful and a lot of it is going to suck, but if you genuinely want to get better, it is very doable.

I have this longtime fantasy of being killed by Jeffrey Dahmer. It sort of went into overdrive again recently after watching that new movie, My Friend Dahmer. I know it makes no sense. Firstly because he's dead, secondly because he was gay and I'm a woman, and thirdly because I'd be fucking dead. But I have this desire to experience an alternate reality I guess, where I was a victim of his and subject to his torture and eventually him drugging me/subjecting me to brain trauma.
I feel so fucked up about this, I don't know where it came from or why the idea of all this turns me on so much. Shit like this is another reason I want virtual reality to become more advanced.

I want a sugar daddy.
Even though I still live at home and have a fairly good relationship wit my parents, I feel so lonely that I wish I had an older person take care of me. Not for money or sex, just somebody who tells me what to do. Also not in a stupid ddlg relationship, just somebody who tells me when to go to bed, that I should study, who makes sure i eat healthily etc. Not in an angry way, but simply helping me. I have so little motivation for anything, that I just wish I had somebody who'd tell me to get off the internet and be productive instead.
Whenever somebody criticices me or gets me angry it somehow makes me feel nearly aroused, but at the same time I feel like crying. That's so humiliating. I'm against any form of bdsm, I do consider myself a feminist, I know that I can take care about myself, yet i still feel so vulnerable.

I get that there's different cultures etc., but generally you only romantically kiss someone on the lips.
My BF's mom does the same shit. Whenever we're in the middle of a conversation she'll try and call him over so she can hug/kiss/show some stupid picture, she'll make stupid little jokes/click her tongue whenever my bf and I kiss around her (which I never initate because I feel so fucking awkward) and almost act jealous.
So they might just have a loving family (my definition of loving family isn't really about kisses and physical affection, it's more about support and understanding tho lol) OR she could actually be unconsciously jealous of you in a way. You're in a sense "taking" your bf out of the family and seeing sides of him that they never see etc.

Just remember they can think their weird shit, but it's your relationship and their jealousy is irrelevant.

Plus, they’re not entirely wrong. Men simply aren’t in danger from women the way women are in danger from men. I’d prefer it if they at least acknowledged this. In my experience men will act like personal safety measures taken by women are unnecessary and an indication of paranoia right up until the point that something horrible happens to her, at which point they’ll blame her for not taking
enough safety measures. But when I point this out, they act like they’re actually in the exact same degree of danger as women are and that they’re just more logical and rational about it. I’ve had a guy insist to me that it’s silly for me to be afraid to walk alone after dark through an alley where a woman had recently been attacked, because some sexual predators prey on males too and despite that, he, as a muscular 6’5” adult man, is not afraid to walk alone at all!
I think the only way to impress on men how dangerous the world can be is if they’re attacked by another larger, stronger man, but even then it’s unlikely to make them more empathetic towards women. Most of them will insist that their situation is somehow totally different, and probably worse.

I always feel like I'm being watched, and it messes with my behaviour so much that I'm not sure what's an act sometimes and what isn't.
When I was younger I attributed this "watched" feeling to black ghosts, these weird shadowy fuckers from my nightmares who waited for me to acknowledge them before killing me. During my early teens I would imagine that my soulmate was observing me, and I would do things that I thought would make them love me. Sometimes I wonder if it's a higher power observing me, but then I fall into a moral dilemma over whether my actions are truly good or just performative bullshit done to appease whatever's watching me, in case I get a reward. I still sometimes feel black ghosts, and see them in my mind's eye, watching me as I pretend not to notice.
I've never been able to have my curtains open at night, and whenever I've forgotten to close the curtains before nightfall I can't look out the window without intense dread. I have to stealth close the curtains or ask my boyfriend if he can do it instead, since whatever's out there only seems to be after me.
The fact that my hypervigilance has actually proven useful in the past doesn't help matters, since I had the same feelings during the real situations as I do during the paranoid shit - I was molested as a child/teen by a man who would wake me up to abuse me, and the feeling I got when he watched me "sleep" was the same feeling as when the ghosts watched me, a creep in the park who watched me before trying to masturbate on me set off the same feeling (but I initially ignored it instead of leaving, since I thought I was just being paranoid), and a scary man who followed me a block across my city to my street also set off this feeling (which I also attributed to paranoia, so I did tests to confirm I was being followed, and then had to use the "don't acknowledge that you're in danger" technique again to protect myself - I managed to get to the store at the bottom of my street, casually tell the cashier I was being followed, and then pretend to make a transaction as the guy loitered in the back waiting for me to leave, until the manager let the cashier walk me up to my house). I even got the danger feeling from a man making eye contact with me once when I was a kid, and recently I found out that he was a pedophile.
This is all very rambly and makes me sound completely batshit but that's why I don't tell anyone about it. Please don't laugh at me.

I guess what fuels this more is that I work with kids and a lot of them are in special education classes, or should be.

Not mildly autistic kids, but the ones who scream and claw at their own faces if the room is above normal speaking voice, which we have to get above often.

>>316666Or if not that even more awesome emotional abuse about how it must just be me because they are totally more responsible and don't have a problem.
Missing the whole point of why the fuck would anyone want to admit they've got an addiction problem when the entire philosophy behind recovery is making addicts prostrate themselves with how horrible and bad and no good they are and thus need something or someone better to look to and obey. You know, fuck empathy and all this research about success in harm reduction therapy and all that.

I've already pointed out how common it is for people to be competitive and wanting to compare as evidenced by the culture on this website, and yet you insist you're above it.
I highly doubt that.
You just wanted an argument.
