There is always a better wayIt's not about perfection. It's about a commitment to making small, incremental improvements day after day. It's not about the finish line. It's about falling in love with the process. It's not about carrying the weight of the entire planet on our... See More »
How important is being an "aesthetic person" when pretending to build a battleship (that will never be built)?
As 2025 comes to an end...1. I didn't make as much personal progress as I planned and tried. 2. I became more established and confident at work. 3. I got a pretty good performance review and bonus. 4. I'm still a bit of a lost soul. 5. Overall, it was a good year and I am... See More »
The burden of shyness...I have a tendency to think people are not hitting on me unless they put on the table that they are hitting on me so I get myself into situations more often than not where I don't realize someone is hitting on me until long after the fact or if... See More »

I don't really know how to interact with people; I guess I never did.I come from a family of mostly extroverts, so I was always "the quiet one." They couldn't seem to survive on their own for even an hour, needing constant attention and "togetherness" from each other and friends and extended family. I often tried to... See More »
Let the games begin...At our staff meeting we were told we each need to put together our individual goals for 2026 that will be part of our 2026 performance review and cover the following "Review Categories:" In support of company goals Personal (professional)... See More »
The weight of solitude...The roommates down the hall that I helped a few weeks ago with their door lock were moving out today. I saw them struggling with some of their furniture and with some amount of anxiety I smiled and asked if they needed any help. I ended up helping... See More »
Continuing to make steady progress with social interactions...Just to set the record straight... it's not that I can't handle social interactions. Sure, I'm a little awkward at it in certain complex situations and when caught off-guard. But overall, I handle social interactions just fine, technically speaking.... See More »
I hate when people think I am being "so quiet" when I am just being normal.2 co-workers separately came to me wanting to know why I was "so quiet" at the Christmas party. I guess I just shrugged my shoulders because I didn't know what to say and one of them said I should socialize more and the other one said, "That's okay.... See More »
A harrowing experience at the independent bookstore...I went into a bookstore over lunch and was looking at a book I had heard about and a woman in the same aisle was staring at me which made me uncomfortable. I stood my ground and didn't move although I thought I was going to faint. After a while as I... See More »
What stage of dementia is not recognizing if a random person in the audience might be your daughter who you are attracted to? (1)
A side conversation gone crazy...I no longer call women at work, "girls." When I use images in my slide presentations I am deliberate about being sure to include women as well as men (in a team project at school one time I was chastised, berated, and verbally beaten down by a female... See More »
Oh yeah... "the base" would definitely pay for this... no questions asked. 1 of several pics of notable people in Jeffrey Epstein's collection of personal memory photos. (1)
With all options turned off, I suppose I need to go to the Office Christmas Party...I don't even know what the point of it is. I thought this was just a one-time thing and I went, mostly graciously, last year. I lingered outside my manager's office today to tell her why I wouldn't be able to go after she told me the other day she... See More »
In social situations, I keep wondering why my intentions are so often misunderstood.I never seem to get it right, no matter how much time I put into analyzing the situation both before and after each encounter.
My motives were exposed, crushed, and I am now backed into a corner...My manager handed me some files to review and after she explained them, as she was leaving, she quickly turned and said, "And, I expect to see you at our Holiday Party. It is important that you go. It's going to be fun." She then walked away before I... See More »
I had another run-in with the maintenance guy at my apartment building who has a massive grudge against me (for no reason)...I went to get my mail, and he was in there putting up a sign. There were 2 other people there and he looked at me and said to no one in particular with disdain, "it's because of him." The 2 people looked at me before they walked away and as he left,...

That flat-chested girl at work wanted to know if I was going to the Office Holiday Party.I didn't know what to say and I resented her intrusive question. She walked away, shaking her head
Why do people become ICE agents?"See, I got picked on in school. I never felt that cool. There's a hole in my soul that just rages. All the women turned me down. They told me I was a .clown. Well, won't you look at me now? I'm putting folks in cages at ICE. They got great hours.... See More » (1)
If I said it once, I've said it a million times... I don't like to be "greeted" when I enter a store and be coerced into getting into a conversation.I feel like I get singled out by retail employees who think they are doing something epic by greeting me at the door the moment I walk in, smile at me, welcome me in, and want to chat with me. I am all for being social and being friendly, but I'm not... See More »
