  • Knowing you are different (i.e. “atypical”) is the first step to resolving it. Perhaps you do react more strongly than others. If you are open to learning, practice, and change, you can work towards being better (and being happier).

    When your emotions react strongly, do not do the thing your body wants to do. Stop, walk away from the situation, and allow your emotions to settle. Don’t dwell on it and reignite your emotions. Then, take some time to answer:

    • Who/What made you react?
    • Why did you react?
    • How could it have been prevented?

    Finally, consider this: If your answer was “They did this” or “They caused me to act out”, imagine what you would answer if the roles were switched.

    Emotions cloud our judgements. It is important to NOT react on them, and instead reflect on them when we have returned to a neutral state.




  • I have a unique job. I do maintenance on the new plastic covers of gas meters.

    In the US, your gas meter now has a plastic cover that sends a reading of your meter to the utility. (Its literally reading the analog output of your meter’s dial. Before, someone had to come out and read it manually. You can still opt-in to that, but pay a higher premium). They are battery powered. I replace the batteries.

    So, not a typical trade job.









  • I discovered i was Asexual 5 years ago, and am questioning being Neutroix/Male today.

    I haven’t put thought into it. I grew up during a time where being out was 50/50 being disowned. I’m living in states where identity is more accepted though, so I personally haven’t worried or paid attention to recent events.

    I’m fighting back still. I continue existing and showing others I exist, I’m different, and if it comes down to it, I’ll rebel as physically as necessary to show the current generation that the next generation deserves better.
