Same. Quiet life with some cats.

I wish we could also choose to have tubes tied before a certain age too. I’m finally 36 this year and asking the drs

Go for it,we all have a little inner child, play away

I find prolonged interaction with others a real strain. I can do an hour or so then can’t maintain the pretence that I’m enjoying myself. On family occasions I always have a “get out early” excuse handy.and use it.

I feel like if you are not doing anything because you are somehow petrified into non-action, that is not laziness. That is fear of failure, lack of enjoyment (anhedonia), or some other reason... So I feel like if you cannot tell if you are depressed or lazy you are more likely to be depressed. No one chooses to do nothing if it makes them feel awful, just for... no reason? And so the problem is not that you are lazy, but that you think that you are. And overcoming that kind of thinking, to learn that your thoughts are not always correct, is an important step to healing.

I don't wanna work. I just wanna bang on the drums all day!!!

As a fellow person who has been raped, I understand this girls pain about the anniversary, I was thinking about ending my life when it came up for me. Sending strength and love to this girl. Some men are trash.

Water on. Step in = pee

Pregnancy isn't for everyone and just because you're a woman and have the proper "equipment" for carrying a pregnancy doesn't mean you're obligated to want it, or even enjoy it if it happens.

I've got the same problem. Not autistic, but was bullied as a kid. Im pretty sure it stems from that.

I work for money. If I had money I wouldn't work. It's that simple. Would find something to do, like a vegetable garden and reading, but certainly nothing stressful.

As it should be

I enact conversations l'm going to have or ones l wish l had if l could. But only alone at home.

I think human beings are absolutely ridiculous.

Yay Dad!!

I think this is the only way I could live. Reality sucks way too much for me.

I don't think there's anything weird about this. It's treating the person with respect and dignity. Also, if your job goes right, they (or at least part of them) will soon be living again.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Is it bad that I really can't stand hearing a baby nursing? Sometimes a mom will be interviewed on the news and she'll be nursing or bottle feeding her baby and the microphone is placed right there, so it's like a cringy ASMR. I also can't stand that word they use "suckling".

Vile liquids and noises from every orifice, dependent on you for years, leeching time, money, and energy from you forever… yecchhh.

I mean I do agree with you. It's true, I had a baby brother when I was younger. And god damn was that child spoiled. Not anymore, but damn.

Hey, babies ARE obnoxious s**t machines! My wedding present to my wife - a vasectomy. Thank you, kindly Dr. Whackoff for sparing me from making an obnoxious s**t machine.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Don't forget the spit-ups, too.

They suck the energy, time, and money out of you, and give you stress, puke, and dirty diapers in return.

And you are right!

Me too I have zero interest in them

They are, hence the purpose behind the biological changes to the mother's brain during pregnancy.

But weren't we all crying s**t machines as babies? And I don't think they're deliberately obnoxious.

I know this will sound creepy, but I liked to look at babies. They are incredible little machines. Watching them figure out how to use their hands etc. is fascinating. Do I want to hold it? No thank you. The only babies I wanted to hold were mine period. In our family pass the baby is a favorite activity. Thank goodness my husband loves to hold them.

....and way too many of them born every year, without (what you'd think would be) the necessary careful, level-headed consideration, by prospective parents, that having a baby is essential to their happiness!

Let me introduce you to the POTUS

I know a lot of adults who are. They’re usually the ones who raise their kids to be the same thing.

Despite all that, I actually do like babies. Until they’re about 9 months old. Then the real trouble starts! I told my friends that I’d babysit my nephew until he’s 1 year old. After that, don’t leave me alone with him until I decide it’s ok. They held up their end of the bargain. He was 15 and we went to see Paranormal Activity and he was begging for the two of us to go. Ok. We went. Then his mom drove us to the PGAStore. We both love golf. We had a blast because it was the right time for it to happen. Babies are cool. It’s kids I don’t like. They can walk and talk.

But at times they are soooo cuuute. In between the crying and pants pooping.

Well, you’re not wrong.

Well, I mean, fair enough.

Yuuuup

You just stated a fact

Sh*t machines, hmmm. I’ll use that later

So were you at some point, son.

I agree, but it just doesn't bother me anymore. Maybe the hospital culture has made me more forgiving lol.

I have to go grocery shopping today, and I'm not looking forward to it. I absolutely will take the time to determine the best time to go in order to encounter the lowest number of people.

I feel this. I can't stand being around kids, and if I ever dare to say so, then it must mean I'm a bad person

I too want to be a cat, hopefully in my next life

I pretend I'm on the starship Enterprise!

I've come to the conclusion I get annoying. Lost a lot of friends for interfering too much. When I like someone as a friend and have good times. I want to always be in those good times.

I feel you. I am in a place now and have been for a while now where I want to die. I don't want to kill myself, I just don't want to live anymore. Really hard to bring that up with others, but the thought is in the forefront of my mind about 70-80% of my waking hours every day.

Used to love being w ppl. then they became exhausting. leave me alone please.

THAT. IS. SO. TRUE
