I'mma play Minecraft to take the edge off a bit.

Also even when my immediate family (Grandparents) said I needed to get a gf, I find it annoying. But this kind of shit....

They're probably just thinking that things will be easier for you if you have a girl

But it's quite the opposite, and you should count yourself lucky you know that

Nevertheless, seems like they have good intentions. I mean I doubt they have malicious intentions

When they say that, it's only annoying, but when my mom and dad do shit like they've done recently.

I'll take the annoying calls to have a social life over staying on crime infested streets and a manic mom any day.

Good thinking.

I only think their pestering for me to get a gf may be tied to them pitying me for my autism.

Because it only seems to be me that they do that with.

There's nothing quite like realizing your family's compassion is actually nothing more than pity

com·pas·sion
/kəmˈpaSHən/
Learn to pronounce
noun
noun: compassion; plural noun: compassions

sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.

Uh... guys... pity and compassion are pretty close.

Huh

I guess I was trying to say kindness, there's a difference between that and pity

I know what you mean. There's a certain seeming condescension when someone pities you.

Yeah

It's like, "Fuck you. Help or gtfo. At this point, just gtfo."

Because pity tends to be along the lines of someone looking down their nose at an unfortunate, saying some platitude, and then moving on.

Yeah, that's the message I'm getting from them, albeit not directly

Wow I get warning signs coming into here now NSFW🤪

@LPA FreeNeko (Hermit's Youth)🇺🇸 In my experience it's never direct. It's something you notice over time, especially with friends and family. Because you're more likely to assume that they are sincere.

It's also kind of hurtful to your pride.

They wouldn't pity you if they thought you could handle it.

So, in a sense, being pitied is a proclamation that they think you are weak.

But, really, it's about framing. How are you going to interpret this?

"You should get a gf"
"Sure, I should propagate the species and pair bond like biology says. But this isn't the 1940s and the deal has been altered so far, it's not worth it anymore."
"You should still get a gf."
"Sure thing, pops. i'll be on the prowl for a nice, faithful Christian girl. Should I also play powerball? Do you have any tips for the horse races?"

Okay..... that's good, I'm stealing those.

Hey man that's what we're here for

And I got banned from a comments section because some dude was saying "I have a 147 IQ", and I simply pointed out IQ isn't all of intelligence

I only have a 136

It makes me sad.

I wanted to be a 250

But, like my appearance, I'm barely half as good as I wanted to be.

I tried to point out that some communists are also "High IQ", and he just ree'd, and banned me from commenting.

@Xychotic a 250 iq?

I probably have a 30 or 40 iq<:tard:480186130105630730>

WHAT

Everyone would starve to death 😂
