I've worked for over 15 years on that. I have had moderate success on doing so.

Yeah sure

I'm sorry if communication failure still happens. I try my best.

It's like talking to a alien

If I could, I would show you my IEP and my diploma. But that has too much personal info, and, well, it still might not be enough as proof. Sorry.

I feel the same way talking to any of you here, you know. Completely foreign.

Do you feel that often when talking with normal people

Absolutely not, actually.
My experiences with that occur most online, with people I know to be on the odd side like me.

I believe it's called having aspergers

PDD, technically on the spectrum.

Even so, I only have these problems in places like this. I don't want to assume anything from that, but what am I supposed to think?!

I'm the odd one out here because most normal people would think I should never look in places like here!

You're absolutely fine fam, don't sweat it.

I get what you mean and I partially agree

Cotton can you like

try to not white knight everybody

?

Politics is useless

There is no practical usage of anything related to politics

I wouldn't go that far...but yes, it isn't good for solving the problems I have seen.

People need to develop their own set of rules and principles for the unique life conditions and experienced they have

Exactly.

Instead of just submitting to some dogma

Written by some dude a century ago

???

That's why I'm here, I am seriously concerned about any idealogical dogma.

What do you mean rules and principles

You're unintentionally philosophising, I like your style

There's more to it than being an ignorant "lel idc" centrist

Centrism is gay

Cotton you have this odd thing for people with mental disorders

Do you mean happy?
Because I'm not a homophobe...but...I'm not into men, sorry.

This person has mental disorder?

First it was a transgender 14 year old fascist brony, now it's a sperg that doesn't know how to communicate

I don't think he/she lacks the ability to communicate

Well, PDD on the autism spectrum. I do my best though.

I can totally understand where he's coming from

They just said they have PDD or whatever the fuck

Pervasive developmental Disorder.

What's that again

I learn a bit slowly, basically.

It's when you don't know how to socialize

Isn't it what autism is?

What's specific about this one

I can be stubborn, hard to change my mind. I have to learn the hard way. But I'm aware of it and toil hard to compensate.

Is it hard for you to learn?

@Cotton The specific thing about this one is it's like talking to an alien

Autism is more then just social problems. That's just one affect.

Do you have any form of cognitive dissonance?

An alien?

Anymore then most people do?

Yes

How do most people have cognitive dissonance

Everyone is inconsistent somewhere. I just try my hardest to figure out where it lies in me and either accept it, justify it, or change it.

Sometimes you have to take all your experience and rectify where the odd ends meet.

It happens to all of us, every experience is an opportunity, that can either be missed, or we could outright learn the wrong lesson.

And, yes, that means I believe there's both subjective truth and absolute truth. And I'm not up for discussing that. Just a side comment.

🤔

Interesting line of thought

Would you say that you're fully self aware?

Or are you still exploring?

Likely not, but that's a life goal of mine.

What's the end game

ur gay

What do you expect to gain from self awareness

Well, I'm sure once I've climbed that peak, there's likely another one to climb. There is no endgame in an infinite rules game. Only progress.

Boy am I glad I don't have autism

Well, I've already gained a lot. I can accept that I can be wrong about something. I can see myself as the wierd one instead of everyone else. And not feel bad about it.

Olev i don't think you're seeing the depth in what he says

Oh, don't get me wrong, olev, it might have its benefits but I've had to toil very hard to compensate for what can otherwise be a dehabilitating condition.

>depth

How old are you chill

Or chum

chillin cum

24, I doubt I reflect my age though.

Too long to write all that

Would you say younger or older

How original, olev, you think I haven't heard that one before?

Thanks

.... sorry, I won't disrespect you even if I don't receive it back.

I was being sarcastic.

?

Olev here is one hell of a fiend

He has no feelings

Yes I do

Don't worry about him

How do I have no feelings

Btw, most autistics aren't capable of understanding sarcasm. I'm different even by that comparison.

What did I do to make you think that

He devours other peoples unhappiness

No I don't

<:smugpepe:230420717609418752>

I'm kidding babe

Is that a penis

Anyway. In some areas I'm older, maybe. In others, younger.

Cotton all I did was leak picutres of that one person

This year I spent time bringing my emotional maturity up to adult level.

I was wondering if you'd totally skip that question

I'm kidding olev

Cotton what country are you from
