It's literally me.


Being a homeschooled kid for everything before college already put me on poor footing, but attending college in the mid-2010's meant:


    

  1. exposure to university- and media-driven feminist messaging implying that all approaches were inherently [suspect, predatory, unwanted; from hereon out, "predatory"]
    2. 

  2. the looming threat of turbocharged MeToo accusations for any fumbled encounter
Additionally, I made the mistakes of:
    3. 

  3. listening to a shrink who I now would classify as "body-positive" who told me looks didn't matter much (I wish I had embraced self-hate earlier instead of accepting affirmations from deluded authorities; at least I'm not fat anymore)
    4. 

  4. hanging out with a D&D group for my social needs, a group that, on retrospect, I realize was socially policed with terminally Tumblr-brained women who collected left-coded quirks like the cowed men who dated them collected Magic cards; this group introduced me to the memeplexes surrounding subreddits like /r/niceguys and /r/inceltears, which led me to believe that there was no winning, since per those memeplexes, things like "trying to not be a predator" and "complaining that there's no winning because you are branded a predator no matter what you do" are also reasons to be mocked and branded a predator. I still catch myself thinking like this.
    5. 



Thanks to all these factors, the risks of any approach were exaggerated (or more conservatively, were implied to be exaggerated) by authorities and by the groups I chose to associate with.


At this point I'm a wizard and just hoping I'll get over the hurdle of self-preservation soon; I can't talk with shrinks about this because despite the seeming pointlessness of life, assuming I do find a purpose to living I am provisionally maintaining a stable job, and I'd like to keep it stable with no employment gaps or institutionalizations to my name.


If any staff member would like to ban me, I think I'm going to keep using this forum for venting, at least as context and drive permits, and that is trite.

Is there any hope of entry without existing connections in my region? My web presence is pseudonymous and I know no one involved.

Is being an aspie a detriment to participation? My stereotype of "proto-netizen" is "neurodivergent" but for all my unfamiliarity that stereotype might be unrepresentative.


I've also tried the "hobbies" route to socialization, and while I do have a few in-person groups I enjoy, my experience with them is just as you described.

Thank you for clarifying my frustration with Musk: it's annoyance at someone who I have colloquially called a "moron," but unlike a true idiot has plentiful cognitive capacity to know better - unless, of course, he likes the internet drama his braggart-persona creates and his apparent emotional investment in e.g. probably faked video game achievements is just another amusement for him; doesn't seem plausible to me, but I could be typical-minding as a wallflower.

I knew one guy like this in college. He would drop everything to help just about anyone. He was popular with women in the sense that they all raved about what a prince he was. None of them dated him and as far as I know he graduated with his virginity intact.




"Literally me" would be hyperbole, but I feel kinship with this guy insofar as I was eager to help with classwork, except I went out of my way to help attractive women less because I realized what it would look like if it appeared I was simping. Unfortunately, being just enough of a normie to understand how I might be perceived for my actions wasn't enough to overcome aspie mannerisms.


If I must tie this personal anecdote back into culture war issues, I'd like to cite "Autism is the real Blackpill," but a DuckDuckGo search and a Google search isn't turning up anything. Did I just hallucinate this piece? Does it sound familiar to anyone else? I'd like to have another go at it and see if its sources actually held up, or if I just gravitated towards assuming whatever says the worst about me is accurate - a dangerous bias.

Your descriptive view on consciousness is identical to mine, but, rather than feeling spiritual wonder, any time I ponder it too long I feel like the protagonist of a Lovecraft novel: it is unnerving that something so subtly incongruous exists, and also, what are the odds (absent some anthropomorphic religious priors) that the true explanation of consciousness is also one that would leave me contented by it?


I now realize I have a depressive outlook.

Hah! I'm intimately involved with that licensing absurdity. Through my various duties I get to overhear the woes of state licensing supplicants; I am also a passport acceptance agent. From this I've come to learn that for most of my fellow citizens they'd have an easier time getting a passport card for the sake of RealID than bothering with the state's licensing apparatus.


To bring it back to the topic of discussion, I concur with @asdasdasdasd: my qualm with voter ID is the Kafkaesque (it's trite because it's true) task of getting ID in the first place. It's incongruous that I help issue RealID documents that provide more travel opportunities and have fewer and better-defined documentation requirements than state-issued RealID licenses do.
