Semiautistic

Idk if that's a word, but I'll explain, my Dr. last month told me I have like traces of being autistic

[–] Houseofoliviereu@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Semiautistic I could not find it in the Cambridge dictionary nor in the Oxford one. But, through browsing there is an explanation of that.

🤔 If...I may... in which sense?

[–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Mostly financially. Related to hiusing. I don't really wanna get into more details, but I'm essential stuck with my current living situation for the rest of my life, unless I'm willing to lose tens of thousands of dollars (or even more if I try to improve the place I'm currently at instead of cutting my losses and moving at an already big loss). Pressure to secure stable housing for an eventual old age made me make tough decisions that in hindsight were pretty fucking ill-advised.

[–] Houseofoliviereu@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

No worries, no need to go into details at all 👍

I just hope you will find a smooth, not too stressful way to ease everything. I know it is just words from an unknown person, even if for 1 min, it can make you feel better. I will take it.

No correlation to the meaning of the word, I just thought "welp, that sounds like me"

Resentful.

Probably turning into Bitterness at one point in the future.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 3 points 22 hours ago

I'm the cousin of resentful: spiteful

Dismay.

That's my baseline experience to some extent just existing here in this reality, and that it's briefly. Always felt like that.
